QPAD XT-R Mouse Pad Review

Posted by ryuzaki0 on

Christian Bakke writes "QPAD is famous for their cloth mouse pads. But they are now producing hard surface mouse pads too. ClubFnatic looks at the brand new QPAD XT-R hard surface to see how well it performance. This mouse pad is supposed to be worth 47 which is of course a lot of money. The reviewer tries to see if the pad is worth this much money with cheaper alternatives available." I use a hard mouse pad from func.net on my living room chair arm, but given the 20 odd free mousepads in the office, it's hard to consider paying for one.

    It's worth 47 what? Dollars? Pounds? Yen?

    Seems a pointless purchase anyway, I use an optical mouse directly on the table.

    today we're demonstrating that adults are not just juvenile, but illiterate too.

    47, expensive? 47 what? Rupees? Pounds? Dollars?

    Two things...

    - If your desk is like mine and has a hard rough melamine finish, the teflon pads on the bottom of the mouse will last maybe 3-4 months before wearing off.
    - If the desk doesn't have a hard rough melamine finish, the desk itself will end up having the surface worn off it by the mouse.(I'm talking either real wood, or the paper veneer stuff)

    Now a granite desk... that's probably a different situation.

    But my experience has been using a mouse right on the desk is hard on the mouse.
