True. I honestly don't think I've ever used an optimal surface for my razer mice though. Never really cared as long as I've gotten a smooth response, little friction and had enough space to move. Razer, everglide, icemats and steelseries ones all look sweet. I'll drop by a store and take a closer look, just wanted some second hand impressions.
Currently shredding a glossy women's fashion magazine, because the big glass table my desktop comp is on has a clear surface and doesn't offer any type of reference for the laser to work off of.
Thanks again for the tips here, I'll defo pick one of these up. I might be opting for something that isn't rock hard. I don't like clacking sounds and I probably like a microscopic flex from the mat itself.
