Do mouse pads affect performance of mouse?

I just whanted to know if a mouse pad will increase my gaming mouse performance or will it just affect how the mouse feels please leave a comment bellow

Depends. I use a Roccat Taito and have to take it with me if I'm gaming on my laptop because it feels amazing, no bumpy spots or having to take my mouse off of the mat. So yes, I suppose is the answer to both your questions. You'll be faster I suppose and it'll feel nicer, as well as keeping thew base of your mouse in a good condition.

I would say your mousing surface should be consistent and have the same slipperyiness all the way across it but other then then that I use a $10 mouse pad and it is very nice
