You and your damn marketing!

Just bit :o

Hehe, yeah pretty good deal there. Sorry about that. ;)

[hity645]

Soon as I get some more monies in the bank, I will own one! muahahaha.

[LOCO LAPTOP]

I spend to much on computers it self to get a new mouse lol.. on that note I got my 8th computer in this house and it was a gift to my mom.

Btw the teflon slick pads are great I got them with my 8800gtx.

[Nobi125]

Gah, I bought one last month and it made me realize that the pads on the bottom of my MX510 needed to be replaced.

Btw, in case anyone that's reading this is still unsure, the Ratpadz XT is amazing.

[GJSNeptune]

Heh. I'll probably have the same reaction. Been using my MX700 Duo for about four and a half years, still with the original mouse feet.

[Oldie]

I got my 2nd pad in the mail yesterday with the free feet, and I love it. You guys really can't go wrong getting one of these, it's $25 well spent.

Thanks Kyle

[Spazilton]

Looks like a really good product. I just jumped in for 1.

[Kyle_Bennett]

We started shipping the free feet with XTs 5 days before we started advertising it. That way we hope nobody feels like they got screwed out of their free feet. :)

[codegrinder]

ill have to buy an XT. i bought a gs last time and I wore a smooth spot into it. :)

[GJSNeptune]

I'm not sure if Kyle still does this, but I think he was doing some kind of discount or deal if you already bought a GS. Might wanna PM him maybe.

[eggrock]

Alright, I'm too curious to resist, and free stuffs is good. I've always been an 1/8" clothpad kinda guy so we'll see how it goes.

I should inspect the box, kick it around a bit and RMA it a few times, call for technical support ("My pointer moves DOWN when I move the mouse UP!!!") and then write a review on the [H] main page.

It'll have to pass the static + hair test.. I have 3 cats. Heh, heh..

[.308 bthp]

Ordered a new XT to replace my trusty GS. Its like the Tootsiepop thing, how many licks does it take to get to the center?......only its how many frags to wear my ratpadz thin as a wafer. Its worn so smooth in some places you can see the outline of the strengthening grids molded into the bottomside. I think 2002 was when I originally picked it up. Long time!

I can't find the link, but one site shot the sucker, and it took it; so do your worst. :p

[Hallucinator]

Just ordered XT, since my paycheck arrives via direct deposit just hours away! :D

[Boshingtang]

I like the picture of the car tire running over the mouse pad lol, like a mouse pad is going to get damaged on a flat surface...

Kyle has also parked his H2 on top of one and taken a picture which can be seen right here (http://ratpadz.com/) at the bottom of the page.

Durable is actually its middle name. :D

[eth00]

Why not, in for 1. I have not bee using a mousepad ever since I went optical :)

lol that is awesome

[Spazilton]

Just got it in today and couldn't be more happy a very well made product.

[discochan]

i just got my XT and I love it. Sucks though I didnt get the teflon pads

[.308 bthp]

Got my new XT today. With the pads on the mouse it is very nice. I can really tell how worn my old GS was after using the new stuff.

[Nobi125]

i just got my XT and I love it. Sucks though I didnt get the teflon pads

Same here :p

[Hallucinator]

Just got it today and oh man, that XT pad felt like NOTHING when moving the optical mouse around!! Try blowing the mouse away like you did to those candles on a birthday cake - it will move! It's THAT slick. Totally Sick! The BEST $25 mouse pad EVER!

Thanks Kyle!

[DesertFox]

We started shipping the free feet with XTs 5 days before we started advertising it. That way we hope nobody feels like they got screwed out of their free feet. :)

so thats why I got those free pads without knowing I was going to early last week....

[kohan69]

It's still too small for me :( I hate picking up the mouse

You guys should make sometihng 12"x17" pads with no curve at bottom

[Fonix]

Ordered mine Saturday at 11pm.... and it showed up today! Wow that was fast, this is my second XT and the mouse feet just made the deal that much sweeter. Ratpadz is always a Hot deal

[ScYcS]

Ok, I bit as well. The site shows no deal with the teflon feet, but i hope i still get mine with the pad....

[Crosshairs]

mine showed up in 3 days..pretty damn fast...I am using it with my Razer Viper thats also brand new.....even without the mouse feet, I find myself spinning around in circles in my FPS games...damn near got sick the first day :)

This thing is a slick as ice..I need to get used to it..:)

[cfree1961]

Ordered mine Saturday got it Monday! pretty damn quick from Tx to Mi and it's a great pad and the BFG mouse feet work great! I wore out my GS this is a great replacement.:D

[ScYcS]

My Ratz also arrived yesterday after 3 days of order date, including the teflon feet.

Verdict:

"Pretty slick"

;)

[Arcade44]

Just got mine in yesterday with the foot pads.
I now find that my mouse is way less accurate then before the pad.
The cursor will constantly move up the screen without me even touching the mouse.
Maybe I just need to adjust the sensitivity settings as my desk is level with no shaking at all.

[ChuckLez]

i bit also. Very interested in a long lasting pad without breaking the bank. I have gone through 2 pads so far, both very slick at first but not lasting more than 8 months (less depending how slick you really like your pad).

Gaming on average about 30-60 hours a week, I hope to put the durability of this pad to a real test.

[Scroatdog]

I finally ordered the XT yesterday, after living with my worn-out GS for so long. I can't wait to get it!

Unfortunately the same for me. Tried it the last couple days and i never thought that a mouse pad could be too slick, but it seems so. Kind of strange because i use the "speed" side of my excatmat with teflon feet and the speed of my mouse is virtually the same as on the Ratz. However, accuracy is way higher on my exactmat it seems. Anyways, it's certainly a well built mousepad and my son loves it now :)

[Scroatdog]

Just got mine in today! Boy, what a DIFFERENCE over the old, worn-out GS. Glad they fixed it. Now I'm going to have to re-calibrate my mouse settings to account for the super-slickness. Thanks, Kyle. Very happy here!

[ChuckLez]

i just got mine today with the teflon feet.

The slickness does not surprise me as im used to new mousepads (gone through 2 already that worn out). The thing that does surprise me is that concave cutout. I just dont like it at all because it always feels im gonna go off the pad with my mx518. I turn it around and everything is cool....sort of. With that concave there, in the exact center, the useable space comes out to be a little under 7.5 inches. The mx518 comes in at about 5.5 inches. I know with a certain degree of sensitivity, 2 inches is enough but it does make me wish they just gave me a regular rectangle instead. Their description of the pad as huge is a gross overstatement.

Now onto the teflon feet. They seem to reduce the grinding noise my mouse makes a bit. Worst part is getting them off the plastic sheet. I hope you dont chew your nails otherwise you are screwed. After getting one off, they tend to roll in on itself making it harder. Once on though, they can be proven useful for mice with worn out feet. I do worry though that they will peel off easily. I can already see the edges start to roll after a quick 30 min. gaming section of COD2. It didnt make a speed difference with mine and my mouse has seen better days.

As mentioned above, you may actually need to recalibrate your mouse settings as this is a pretty slick surface.

[Scroatdog]

Hmm....

I've been using mine with the concave output to the left, so that it becomes a natural "pocket" for the right-half of my keyboard. So I'm essentially using the mousepad in the vertical position. Maybe give that a try? Different strokes for different folks I know.

[ChuckLez]

actually, that was a part i left out. I use a slide out tray and with it vertical instead leaves one of those stick feet on the bottom off the tray, letting the pad tilt back and forth which can get annoying.

Otherwise, having it vertical does fix the problem.

Also, I have seen some other reviews complaining about the thickness of this pad. Trust me when I say it does not matter unless your wrist is really does sensitive.

[homerjr43]

Just ordered 3....One for me, one as a bday gift and one for a friend(to save on shipping) I hope i will love it...and its nice to give money to Hard its been there for all my computer needs...

[ChuckLez]

after a few gaming sessions. I have concluded that this pad is defiantly bad for me. With a medium sensitivity and a 5-inch mouse (Logitech Mx518). I cant stand the mouse going off the track again and again and again. The tracking and surface slides smooth but with that concave there, I keep running off edges. Even when the pad is turned vertical, it becomes too narrow. The size of it is just too small for my basic playing style.

Get with Ratpadz@ratpadz.com, give them your reasons, and they will buy the pad back from you and pay freight.

How sweet is that..:)

Although, once I got used to mine, I don't think I could EVER use anything else.

They would have to come here and steal it if they wanted mine back....

[Kyle_Bennett]

No unhappy customers is our goal.

[GJSNeptune]

Has anyone used the teflon pads yet? I'm using an MX700 and two of the feet are very close to the metal recharging plates. They're also pretty close to the battery cover. Do the pads have adhesive all over or just the outer parts? I'd have to trim some of them if I want to put them on.

I have used them for about a year now. Love'em. They are made big enough to trim down if you need to.

They're nice in combo with the pad. I have the same mouse here as a spare, and looking at it I believe you will have to trim them, but it's really easy. I would recommend using an exacto or something similar, but scissors could even do it if you're careful not to get the pad stuck to itself.

[GJSNeptune]

Heh. I just used scissors. Only had to cut up two pads to cover the five mouse feet.

Very nice. :cool: Now I just need a slick computer.

[_G_]

any chance of making a larger "XTX" model? :D

[GJSNeptune]

Kyle, maybe you should give Ikea a call.

The Ratpadz Jerker! :D Revived and made entirely out of Ratpadz material.

Wouldn't be good to do work on, but no more mousepad size complaints. :p

[ChuckLez]

well, I got in touch with the ratpadz people and they gave me a full refund for the mousepad. Thank you kyle for letting me know this.

In the end, I decided to just get a cloth pad so it should last for the rest of my gaming days.

Great mousepad ratpadz but it is very small for any mouse that has a compareable size to the MX518.

[Lupine]

Well, considering that my original RatPadz must be pushing 8yrs old I'm finally in for a replacement. :p

Hope it does well w/ the Logitech Revolution. My old Padz isn't so hot w/ it, but that could be due to it being pretty worn out.

Not a problem. Yours is the first return we have had since we started making the XT. Good luck with that everlasting cloth pad. :)

Wow. 8 Years! I guess you feel as though you got your money's worth? ;) I just got rid of my revolution. It worked fine with the XT, but their were times when the mouse would lag out due to a connection issue. I never figued it out. Put it back in the box, went back to my old MX laser mouse.

Well, it was either a buy 1 get 1 free or maybe I got an extra one when I built my first Athlon box back in 2000 (if so 8 years is an overestimate). Either way I have two of them, but only one in regular use most of the time. Did you guys ever run a deal w/ PCNut?

I should post a pic just for giggles. :p

Yeah, on my 2nd Revolution. Logitech sent me a replacement after the wheel on the first one failed. Now the second one is really laggy. Most annoying so probably won't be around long. Maybe I'll give Logitech another RMA shot but this is pretty annoying. :(

[Kyle_Bennett]

Did you guys ever run a deal w/ PCNut?

Sure did! Have not thought of him for a long time...Henry Chen IIRC.

[Lupine]

Sure did! Have not thought of him for a long time...Henry Chen IIRC.
:D

That's when I got them then. That means they went into service in 2000 lol. So either they're bulletproof or I don't game nearly enough. :p

Thanks again.

[eggrock]

The Ratpadz got the only '10' score on that 21-pad 'roundup' you have on the front page and also had the 'fastest' surface. Nicely done...

http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=getarticle&articID=560

[Lupine]

Mine came in the mail today. Exactly the same design as my original ones minus the logo on the front. Well, and the bald spot from ~7yrs of wear & tear lol. :p

Thanks!

[lessthanjakejohn]

I got mine after ordering it the day before! pretty sweet... I am in Dallas

Haven't tried out the teflon yet but the pad is sweet.

[GJSNeptune]

I am in Dallas

Kyle could've just brought it over. :p

[lessthanjakejohn]

Kyle could've just brought it over. :p

it would have cost more in Gas, car use, and time than the pad was worth... dallas traffic sucks

[GJSNeptune]

Highly doubt it would cost more for Kyle to drive over than to pay a courier to deliver it, since their charges likely include fuel as well.

[Puterguru]

Ordering two of them now. I still own and use daily the original Ratpadz. It must be going on 6 years now. Would be damn nice if everything lasted that long.

[boscogne]

ordered mine yesterday, looking forward to it

[Puterguru]

Ordered mine Friday, received today!:eek:

Damn, only if everyone could be that fast at shipping.

[K3Fallout]

Darn. I can't choose between this or a Steelpad 5L.

[Kyle_Bennett]

Mad Shrimps just did a really big group of tests and Ratpadz XT came back with the highest scores in gaming and the overall cumulative.

http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=getarticle&number=13&artpage=2472&articID=560

[K3Fallout]

I'm pretty sold now. Expect to see my 25 bucks come to you sooner or later ;)

[Ub3rn00b]

I have a new GS. Is there really any advantage to getting an XT?

[mZimm]

Is there any place where I can buy the slick pads alone? I've used some teflon stuff on my G7 of a different brand in the past, but it's mostly worn out now. I already have an Icemat (bought before I found this thing, and can't rationalize another mousepad), but I can't find these alone at the egg or the other places. Any suggestions? Will these work fine with a G7?

[K3Fallout]

I just placed the order. Lets hope I get it soon and I get the mouse feet.

[nilepez]

Bought one a few months ago (no teflon feet for me, you bastards you ;)). I'm now thinking I'll get one for work. I've already replaced the mouse and keyboard, might as well replace the mouse pad, eh?

[GJSNeptune]

Get work to pay for it?

Or, better yet, tell work to order one for everyone. Kyle would probably give you a special title, too. :D

[K3Fallout]

How long does it usually take to ship(I'm in California)? I can't wait for it.

[dolphumous]

I don't notice anything special with the Teflon feet.
It slides all the same w/ my mouse. *shrug*

It's nice of Ratpadz to toss them in for free though.

[Kyle_Bennett]

2 to 5 days depending on your mail service. they come Express Mail USPS.

Some people do, some people don't. If you don't, this is actually a testament to your mouse having quality feet to start with. Go ahead and use the Slick Pads though, as they will protect those mice tootsies from wear. ;)

[Kyle_Bennett]

I have a new GS. Is there really any advantage to getting an XT?


It really depends if your GS is worn or not. The GS and the XT are almost indistinguishable when they are new. The XT's surface is a lot more durable than the GS. Short answer; if you like the GS stick with it.

[bandit390]

Is there more than just those circle mouse feet? What if you have a mouse with different shape of feet. Like the razer deathadder?

http://www.razerblueprints.net/index.php?option=com_gallery2&Itemid=79&g2_itemId=9431&g2_GALLERYSID=5934585042f2ea2ff38d6f3060c4bfe9

[GJSNeptune]

The teflon pads are large. You can cut what you need from each circle. For the bottom foot, you can use two of them. I'd cut two halves for it. You can place the pads on the feet and trace with a pen or a fine-tip permanent marker.

[K3Fallout]

I just received my ratpadz. My brother and I are comparing this with his Steelpad 5L and to me they seem pretty even but he says that the ratpadz is a little smoother. Only thing I don't really like is the noise I make since I pick up my mouse a lot :P

[oplin]

Just just got 2 of these, shipped in 2 days not bad. The feet work great on my mouse at the office which is pretty crappy. Mouse glides alot better on this than the wood surface i was using and alot more accurate. All in all i'd say it's a pretty good deal, the first mouse pad i've ever bought.

[bandit390]

I got mine today. The surface is a little rougher than my func1030 (rough side). Its also alot slicker than my func pad, but then again its brand new.

Pros:
Slick
durable
Grippy pad feet to keep it from sliding on your desk.

Cons:
No smooth side
Might be small for some.


Overall, its a decent pad at a decent price. Plus, mouse feet are included (around a $5 value)

[Kirika]

Is this really worth it? Is there a noticable difference? Never actually bought a mousepad been using freebie mousepads for years. I still have a mx518. I like it and I didn't feel like spending on any of the newer mice.

[GJSNeptune]

Depends on if your freebies are cloth or the harder surface ones. With cloth, the difference is definitely noticeable, especially with the teflon feet. Much smoother. Cloth pads have a lot of friction. I don't know about the harder ones.

[PlaneCrazy]

I almost bit till I read the guys complaining about the size.. I too like to use a BIG area for my mouse. Usually I just use my whole desk, but I'm starting to wear parts of the desk away :D

If it was bigger, I'd grab one. Are there any plans for a future XL size?

In other news - the Razer Mantis pad looks decent - 17"x14" and no cutouts. About the same price too..

If there's nothing planned for the future for a larger pad, I'm going to go with the Mantis..

Let me knwo
tthanks

[GJSNeptune]

I don't fully understand why a bigger mousepad would be necessary. Is your mouse sensitivity really low? You should be able to move your cursor from one side to the opposite without lifting your palm.

[PlaneCrazy]

No, I just don't like lifting the mouse..

Picture this - you're in a tank, and you gotta swing the turret 360°. But the turret doesn't move very fast, and a guy is running around to the back..

With a small mouse pad you'll mover the turret a few feet then have to lift, few more feet, lift, etc.

Catch my drift?

that's just one example.

Catch my drift?

Yep. Your mouse sensitivity is too low.

[PlaneCrazy]

Yeah, but if I turn the sensitivity up more, then when I jump out of the tank, my guy twists and turns like he's hopped up on crack.

I have the MX518 which has selectable sensitivities - but still - I just need a bigger area to move the mouse in.. Just my preference and style! :)

All I can say is it's bigger than most (if not all) mouse pads I've ever owned. When I first got it, I was taken back by how large it was. But if you're using your entire desktop, then I'd suggest you contact Kyle and find out how much they'd charge to make you a desk ;)

[crispyb]

Received the Ratpadz XT last week. I'll agree with nilepez that this is bigger than many mouse pads most people use. As for the pad I think its great. I didn't like the feel of the mouse at first, but soon as I put on the slick pads its smooth as butter.

[Viper2004]

Just ordered one, can't wait to receive it. This will be my first "real" mousepad, and a huge upgrade from my tattered generic brand rubber-ish pad. My MX1000 will love me for this.

Edit: Well, after a day of use, I just can't see myself using this mousepad anymore. I used the "contact" button on the ratpadz site to setup a return.

[ashmedai]

Mine just came...and I'm never using a cloth mousepad again. They made such nice swag too...:( Oh well, more room in the bag for t-shirts.

It wasn't completely flat after USPS got done with it, causing some rocking since it's so rigid, but it was easy to fix with a bit of flexing as shown on the product site. It worked very nicely even with the severely scratched state of the feet of my mouse, even better after using the teflon pads. Time for some...umm...extended testing...:D

[Valkhorn]

I just ordered one too. This is a killer deal, thx!

[SX2233]

Hehe, yeah pretty good deal there. Sorry about that. ;)

meh I've used ratapadz before, they wore out after a while and starts to hurt my hand, I think I'll stick with Ice Mat 2 thank you..

[Valkhorn]

I got mine in today.I have enough teflon pads to do about 4 mice. It's stable and sturdy and it has enough traction and glide.

I'll see how it works for a while but for now I'm happy.

[nilepez]

anyone else unable to order on the ratpadz page? I've tried 2 browser on 2 different computers, and I see no way to actually select a mouse pad to add to the cart.

[arnemetis]

I noticed the same thing earlier today, but as of this post the main page seems to have been fixed, and you can order once again. Maybe that part of the site was swallowed up with the recent forum problems?

[Gaiden133]

Just got the XT ! Hoping it'll do my DeathAdder justice :D Can't wait.

Just a quick question, the slick pads are bundled with the Ratpadz I assume right? And since they don't have a tracking ETA, I'm assuming priority shipping is a few days ? (to WA if it matters)

[m3ta1head]

Just thought I'd drop in to say that my new XT+slick pads are doing fantastic with my G5...killer combination.

If you're feeling dangerous, try spraying a nominal amount of the pledge onto your ratpadz. Warning-your mouse may fly off into the wall :D

Pledge is the secret weapon of the ultra-sensitive setting gamer. Its teh bomb!!1

[mrwhitethc]

Is there a specific type of pledge to use on the ratpadz? I noticed they have that new pledge multi-surface in a spray bottle that lists electronics on it? Or are you guys talking about the pledge with the wax in it?

I use the wood cleaner pledge that comes in a yellow can.

How do the RatPadz XT fair with a Razer Deathadder? I read problems about them wearing out the skates?

I would like to see where you read that? I have never seen that said about the XT.

I personally have never been a Razer fan and do not test with their mice.

Kyle, Wanna send me a free pack of teflons? :P

I read that DeathAdders had a problem with hard pads itself, but Gaiden told me it's fine with the XT.

I suggest a bit of testing for Razer mice maybe? They have some nice mice out now.

I bought my RatPadz XT back in January and have been fragging away with my DeathAdder since March and have not had a problem with skates wearing away.

Kyle has also parked his H2 on top of one and taken a picture which can be seen right here (http://ratpadz.com/) at the bottom of the page.

Durable is actually its middle name. :D

durable yeh..? but cant almost every mouse pad take that weight onto it since its so small

How can I get my BFG teflon pads? They were not in the box my ratzpad just came in?!?!
I would love to have them because 2 of the feet on my MX1000 are wore off and it makes the mouse uneven.

There is like 9 pads that hold the mousepad in place, it does not move at all during gaming sessions.

I am not sure as I didnt get any in my package. I assume they are little circle or oval shape things that go onto your mousepads bottom where the original pads that came on the mouse were.
