I don't know if they ever changed it or not but that teflon tape didn't do shit either. I use an X-Trac Ripper XL (17" mouse pad). Link to comment
trakaill Posted June 19, 2009 Content Count: 3736 Joined: 11/30/07 Status: Offline Share Posted June 19, 2009 Meh, I usually play palm grip when I'm in shooters and I find that the best palm grip mouse is probably the Logitech G5. Thats the only thing that dispoints me about this mouse, like caution im a claw grip player and using this mouse takes a little getting used to! You should go with G9 if you can afford it I think it might feel better for you! and you can use it with or without the grip which will give you a little versatility for the size of your hand or grip! I think they have another even bigger grip you can buy with support for your thumb and pinky .. Link to comment

Shadowex3 Posted June 19, 2009 Content Count: 2959 Joined: 02/27/08 Status: Offline Share Posted June 19, 2009 It's just frosted glass, go to Home Depot and buy some for less than icemat costs. Plus lasers and optical mice tend to randomly lose it and hate glass. And the reason the teflon tape they give you doesn't do much is because mice have been using PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene=teflon) feet for a long damn time, so putting more teflon on a mouse just gives it a larger surface area and thus more friction. I use a generic wetsuit-material office depot mousepad that's longer than my forearm+hand and almost as wide and I still rape sideways. If you've just GOT to have a fancy mousepad though get something like These where the entire mousepad is basically one giant piece of teflon with a slight surface-area reducing texture and you'll pretty much be waving your mouse around in the air.

It's not the same as the frosted glass you buy at home depot. The teflon tape actually does make a big difference. I bought an entire roll off ebay so I can regularly change em out. But the mice feet they supply you with last forever too. And it's not nails on chalkboard. I've been using icemats with optical/laser mice since 2000. I've had friends come over and use it and proceed to buy one for themselves and have heard NOTHING bad about it from them. Garfield just got one for himself and he's been praising it. Link to comment

Bodybag Posted June 19, 2009 Content Count: 269 Joined: 11/02/07 Status: Offline Share Posted June 19, 2009 I have a Logitech MX518 mouse and Saitek Eclipse keyboard. I am a wireless mouse fanatic and have used just about every wireless mouse on the market but found this wired mouse supreme. It's spot-on and amazingly comfortable and light. I do miss my MX1000 and G7 wireless mice, but this is so much better. Logitech's new Revolution mouse looks retarded as does Microsoft's gaming mouse with the weights in it. Razer make great mice but it cannot compete with the MX518, it's night and day. This... i have the mx518 and its amazing.. they fit ur hand so well and last a long time. This is def the mouse u want to get. Link to comment
