Zardon · Nov 10, 2005, 11:53 AM

Arush has taken a look at some very reasonably priced goodies to aid your mousing experience.

XtracPads is an American company specialising in making your mouse fly across the best surfaces possible, from mouse pads to accessories, XtracPads makes sure that the gamers out there have all the equipment necessary to win. According to their site logo, they are made for Hard-Core Gamers. Quite a bold claim!

Another nice review sandok.
concise and to the point.
I'll be looking into the mat, but not sure I'm willing to give up my 10 button mouse yet.
Keep it up!

why would you have to give up your mouse for a mat and teflon feet?

sorry, made the leap in my head to upgrading to gaming mat and mouse, didn't type it.

the new logitech G7 has a slew of buttons

very nice review, although i still hate those teflon 'feet" with a passion, and once they wear thin, removing them is a trick

Well mine are still doing well and had em for a month now... So I'm happy so far

Great products at really low prices. Worth getting

Thx for the comments to btw!

heh, I bought me some "mouse skates" when i got my icemat II, and they went sour in about 2 monthes, and I had to use a razor to peel em off

All I can say is I do indeed love Xtrac. I've spent problably $100 in pads before stumbling on the Ripper XL. What I regret most is my bansheepad, now sitting in a drawer under some clothes

been using an xtrac zoom & the feet for several months now- awsome combo!! cant stand mousing with anything else.

I'm using the Mad Dotz on my Diamondback and ExactMat combo, and they're good teflon tapes if you have circular mouse feet. They don't work too well with the crescent shaped foot on the butt-side of the mouse. I have to try the teflon strips next.

Also, looking at the Logitech G5, what kind of teflon tape are you supposed to put on those mouse feet? The things are humungous, and oddly shaped at that!
