    3M Precise Mousing Surface where can I buy one in the UK??? need one bad my mouse mat is faling apart as I type :eeek:

    Also anyone seen any mouse skates for sale, everglide didn't include them in my delivery and I lost 5 pounds the bastards!!

    BTW don't tell me to get an everglide Mouse mat cos i have one already and it doesn't like my mouse.

    What mouse u using?

    I have a Everglide too (2 years), and only today noticed that its slight convexed! Not good when u have a flat bottom mouse like mine MS Intelli Optical, so it was gliding on the red bevel bit of the mouse. I have used the mouse skates too, and it is excellent! I got them from everglide.de before the uk store started stocking them. As for u paying for the good and not getting them !!!!!! Sort them out!

    Have u considered fUnc sUrface1030 instead of a 3M mat?

    I have a logitech dual optical mouseman, it has been great for awhile on my mouse mat but now it's getting to be a pain in the arse!

    I bought an everglide mousemat but when I use it with my mouse the pointer won't even move at all :sigh: I think it's due to it being too shiny or something?

    whats the fUnc sUrface1030 and where do I buy it in the UK also has anyone tried a mouse bungie?

    you can get the ratpad is sold at the ocs and according to many sources its the best mouse pad ever....sold and distributed by the guys from hardocp....so its gotta be pretty good...

    personally i use my blank desk surface with my logitech dual and its good enough for me....:D

    So far so good need to do more extensive testing in CS and quake 3 first. I does feel a less smooth and bumpy than the one I have, but the traction is apparent and seems to work well Although i do feel as if I'm fighting with the mouse some times.

    More info soon....

    I have the mouse-fighting problem with my ratpad, and it's not due to the pad. It's a by-product of the Ratpad being so low-friction that the mouse cable is stiff enough or heavy enough to move the mouse across the surface.
