Im not sure if this is the right place for this post but..
What do you guys think is better, desk mats or mouse pads?
Im in the market for a new mouse pad, and i want to pic one off of epic pants. But i cant decided if i should get a desk mat? And does anybody have any ideas when the desk mats will be back in stock?
Idk, just depends what your preference is I guess. I've been using a razer vespula hard mouse mat for awhile and I prefer it over traditional mouse pads I've used.
Currently using a desk mat. I personally like it, although if you move your mousepad around a lot, it gets annoying.
The store said desk mats would be in stock next year. Coming from a hard pad(aluminum plate) I want to get a desk mat to mute the sound of my keyboard over VOIP mainly, I could just move it to still use my aluminum mouse pad.
I personally use a mat because they're generally a lot thinner.
The desk mats are in stock on the UK amazon:
Ordered mine last Sunday, just put on my desk 20 minutes ago, they are really soft.
So if you are in Europe you should be able to get a hold of one.
Unfortunately im in the US. Gonna wait a bit to see if they come in. Enjoy your new desk mat!
I like mousepads more personally. Much easier to move around when you need to clean or transport.
Right now I'm using the Roccat Taito Control mid-size and it's just perfect. It's big for a mousepad, but still small enough that I can slip it into my 15" laptop bag so when I go to work I can game during lunch with the same pad as I use at home.
Not to take money from the Tek, have you considered just covering your desk with Neoprene? I like the Tek's items, though it would be ultra durable and maybe locally available.
For a permanent work/gaming station, a full length deskpad seems so much better. I don't yet own one, but I will buy the Tek's eventually. What I hate about a mousepad is that it moves around and has limited space.
why do you think that, im just curious what is the point of having a pad under neath the keyboard?
I haven't honestly seems to messy for me. And i would like a cool looking mouse pad/ desk mat.
do you have issues with your mouse pad moving around?
i dont have any need for it to be portable, so i think i may go for a desk mat.
A deskpad, being larger, has more surface area to grab the desk so it's not going to move so much. A lot of mousepads, expecially cheap ones, will slide too easily. And some keyboards that don't have good grips build onto the stands can benefit from this too.
