    Destructor is pretty good, what I use. The texture takes some getting used to, but it's very "fast" and easy to control, although a bit noisy. It's a good size, not too big, and the included case is nice as well.

    Oh.. i see, so how simple is to move around a g9 on it? I have heard many gamers tell me it is a little too smooth for your own good.

    I use a diamondback 3g, so I can't really say. I think the feet on this mouse has a lot to do with the noise. Should replace them lol

    Not at all. The size is perfect for me. I have only owned two mouse pads in my life. Other than my QcK, I used to have a cheap $3 Allsop fabric mousepad from Best Buy that was about the same size, but it caught on fire.

    I first tried the large version of the QcK at a monthly LAN here at the university. My god, it was bliss. The QcK had the perfect amount of resistance and consistence. Then I found out that there are different sizes for the pad, saving me the effort of buying a larger one and putting it to the razor. After a few days of FPS gaming, I was convinced that no other mouse pad in the world would ever stop me from loving my QcK.

    well idk where u got 57$ from but i paid 30bucks shipped for my new one and its awesome just so you know. Really the best pad to go for. The Steelseries SX was my original choice but the aluminum can get cold in winter so it will be cold to lay ur hands on it. Thats y i didnt get it. But srsly, the Destructor FTW!!!

    i'm not 100% sure about the destructor and the steelseries sx, but the exactmat is a solid (can't roll it up) pad. so u might want to take that into consideration.

    with that bein said, i personally use the exactmat + exactpad and i love it. it's size is perfect for me, a low sensitivity player. it also has a speed and control (textured) size, so u can choose which type of control u want with yur mouse. portability isn't an issue either cuz u can just slide it in yur bag, right next to yur laptop.
