Do i need a mousepad?

[eduguy]

I have a optical mouse. Do I need a mousepad? Will it improve performance? I currently use it on cardboard.

A good mouse and a mousepad helps. You won't be a pro, but it'll help some, and it won't hold you back from improving like a poor mouse and lack of pad will.

If you're just goofing and having fun, no you don't need it.

[FlashSoul]

Yeah. Don't expect it to turn you into a pro but it can help.

I read that it helps protect your mouse?

It will help prevent wear and tear on the feet if nothing else.

I looked at that mousepad. I play around 9 sens so would that be good or the control one or a qck mini

9 is quite a big number tbh, I'm curious about the resolution you are using ingame.

- Are you using raw mouse input in Quakelive?
- What is the exact model of the mouse and what is the Hz your USB port running at? (asking because some mice only performs good with certain DPI and/or with a certain usb polling speed and/or on a certain surface/pad, so it's not irrelevant what you buy or if it would worth it or not)

Goliathus is way overrated. I went through a crapton of pads before I found one that could compare to the better hard surfaces out there.

How about the Qck Steelseries? I don't want to spend thirty dollars on a mousepad.
