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.

Compad

Compad – WOW and CS Design ( 298 x 235mm – Flexible )
Provided by: Digital Century

Digital Century sends us large collection of Compad mousepads sharing the same basic features but differing in design. A total of 5 pads were send to us, you can see them below:

A closer look:

The pads are flexible to an extent, with a hard layer on top and soft rubber at the back. Compad used designs from arguably the two most played and popular PC games to date: World of Warcraft and Counterstrike.

The very low (~2mm) profile means it'll go easy under your keyboard, the top layer is slightly textured and not completely smooth.

Accuracy was quite good with these pads which made gaming a breeze. Office work and general usage was okay.

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.
