Quiet Mousepads
Imagine: new mousepad, smoother and nicer than any mousepad you've ever had. Suddenly you are the number one in the COD2-list , you die only occasionally in Battlefield 1942: Desert Combat (still the best Battlefield ) and in UT you hear "GODLIKE" all the time.
But then there is noise between all the sounds of screaming souls and obliterating death. Scraping, scratching etc...

I'd like you to share your experiences with mousepads (cloth are mostly inaudible) which men expect to make noise (although some like the sounds).
This includes metal, plastic and glass surfaces. Among the glass ones is for example the "Wow-is-that-a-new-universe??"-popular Icemat.
Thanks too

I have an Ulti-Mat Breathe X4.. It's a cloth pad, 550mm x 450mm (21.67inch x 17.73inch) and im pleased with it It's slippery enough and it's huge, i can't stand a small mouse pad.
The original teflon coated steel Ulti-Mat is also nice, but it's not as quiet and it's smaller.

The Trackman is decent. The clicking is quite loud. My thumbs ached after a while too.Plissken wrote:Want a quieter mouse? Toss the pad!
Ok, it's not a mouse. But it sure is quiet!
I'm a trackball convert and will never go back to a silly mouse.
My MX Revolution is fantastic. Quiet clicking and smooth scrolling. Side note - once you go with one-touch search, you can't go back. The only problem is the wireless lag sometimes but that can be remedied. I use it with a microsuede mousepad. The pads used to be popular - I got mine at CompUSA. I think Micro Industries was the name of the company that made them. They're pretty small though.
I'm thinking about buying this:

That hovermouse looks insane.

Most hard mats make more noise than soft cloth mats, or at least the sound is more pronounced. You can't beat the accuracy though, as the coating offers just the right amount of glide and friction - speed and precision in other words.
Func 1030 changed my mousing habits for the better. It's too small now, but never again a cloth mat for me; just ordered a Razer Exactmat on sale as it came with a wrist support.
