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 H1 & H3

Rantopad H1 & H3

Rantopad H1 ( 275 x 225mm – Flexible - packaging)

The H1 is smaller in size but not less impressive; the design is pretty cool with company logo in the corner.

At ~3mm thickness this soft cloth mouse pad feels nice to wrist; but the outskirts are a bit rough, the cloth frails a bit. Overall performance was average, best suited for gaming.

Rantopad H3 ( 365 x 285mm – Flexible - packaging)

The H3 is the larger version of the H1, made of the same fabric with similar design and logo, it comes in two colors: blue and red-ish.

While accuracy was on par with the H1, I found the larger surface less able to handle fast gaming sessions, but more suited for long hours of browsing the web.

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.
