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.

Rantopad C1 Super & C3

Rantopad specializes in gaming mousepads, they have a very large variety of pads, catering to the low/mid/high sense gamers with their flexible and hard mouse pads.

Digital Century send us no less than six different Rantopad products; let’s take closer look at the first two:

Rantopad C1 Super ( 300 x 250mm – Flexible - packaging)

The C1 Super is medium sized and only a few millimeters thick; the soft black cloth is of high quality, with company logo in the corner:

Rantopad says this pad is for high/mid sense gamers, I think I fall in between; the pad was very good for gaming with excellent accuracy, although I did like the larger work area of the C3. For office work and casual browsing it was more than okay.

Rantopad C3( 375 x 315mm – Flexible - packaging)

The C3 is the larger brother of the Super C1 and shares most of the design and material choices. At 3mm thick it’s comfortable for long sessions of gaming or office work.

The larger surface and good accuracy proved useful when gaming, also general usage was above par.

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.
