HOW TO CHOOSE BEST GAMING MOUSE PAD?

How to choose the best mouse pad

Why should we buy a gaming mouse pad

  • A BEST MOUSE PAD will help to care for your mouse and increase life.
  • Pad provides you with a proper grip on it.
  • A good mouse needs a good surface that should neither be too rough nor too slippery.
  • If you have a gaming mouse and you spend a lot of time playing computer games, a proper mouse pad can enhance your gaming skill.
  • If you are using your mouse without any mouse pad, I would recommend you to buy one and compare the difference yourself.

Which mouse pad is best to use

The market, there are full of different types of Mouse Pads some of which are made to just fool you and they are completely useless for you and your money and hence it becomes very hard for people to choose the best mouse pad according to their need.

What is the thing you consider first to buy a mouse?

**

Consider Thickness Of The Base

This part is often neglected by many buyers but this factor creates a big difference between cheap mouse pads and the best mouse pads.

  • Slim base (2 mm) – it is recommended for the ones who need a solid feel with their gaming mouse pad and the experience is related to using the mouse on a hard surface but with comfort.
  • Heavy base (5 mm) – this one is for the ones demanding a more comfortable and soft surface which in turn gives a very comfortable feel while using it. The added thickness enables you to play on a flat surface even if there is an uneven surface beneath it due to the depression in the pad from the back that it might create but you will be having the flattest mouse swiping surface possible with this base.
  • Standard base (3 mm) – it has the sweetness of both the heavy base and the thin base and is considered the one to treat a person who loves either of the above and to recommend easily to anyone.

Consider RGB

Of course, how can we forget this gamer bullshit that every person is demanding and popularizing very quickly? Some believe this adds to the performance but it is subjective. It is prioritized subjectively, some may buy a pad only if it has RGB lights and some may avoid them. Although this RGB lighting comes at a cost which is, it makes the pad wired which can be an issue for many of you.

Consider Waterproof And Washable

Although it does not make any sense as if you spill something on your table it may first splash on your keyboard and mouse before the pad. But it is mentioned very boldly by the brands and companies to market their product and it does impact the sales. Most of the mousepads which are not RGB ones can be washed easily to renew them and this is obvious as it is just a piece of cloth only. so always buy waterproof mouse pad
