I rate this mouse pad very highly, it is my favorite out of all the cloth pads i have tried. It has a very nice texture feel, looks great and has the best tracking out of all the cloth pads i have owned. The only down side is the surface is somewhat fragile and can be easily torn by sharpish objects. There was no loss of tracking when using modern laser mouse (mionix naos 5000) on pretty low sensitivity no matter how fast the swipe. Deathadder and mx518 also had very good tracking on this pad.
Mouse pads i have tried.....
Steelseries QCK - decent pad, not the nicest texture but good glide, decent but not great tracking.
Everglide Titan - very tough long lasting pad, no longer available, decent texture, decent tracking.
Mionix Sargas - very nice plain cloth pad, nice texture and glide but tracking not as good as others.
Qpad CT - very slick gloss coating makes for a very slippery surface but wears fast and not that consistent glide, tracking good.
