21-Way Mousepad Roundup

Others/Mice & Keyboards by glenn @ 2007-04-21

In this large roundup we test 21 mousepads from RatPadz, Allsop, Compad, Nuke, Rantopad, Raptor-Gaming, Sharkoon and Steelpad, comparing their gliding performance, characteristics and overall look and feel.

Size Comparison

Size and Thickness Comparison

Comparing these features is easy, put all mouse pads in a table, multiply length by width and we got surface area, measure thickness and we got a 2nd chart.

The Steelpad QcK Heavy is 3.5 times bigger than the smallest Sharkoon Xurface!

Still using my everglide here.
No need to replace it.

It is missing the Icemat, which is the best mousepad because it never wears out, transfers excess heat away from the hand, slides well and looks and feels great. And glass is SEXY.

I completely agree with you. I used Everglide but they wear out quickly.

Icemat is the best. I would recommend only to use mousemats that are made of steel or glass. They're durable and easy to clean.
