So that's cypher, ? , czm, rapha , ZeRo4, chance, dahang.

Who is the guy in the second picture? FienD?

dunno :D

yep, they're pretty damn good

goliathus > qck

omg the ql forums resident retard is coming to esr?

Which one works well for the mx518? The Mousepad SteelSeries Qck+ ? Does it have more friction?

Get a g400 and forget these pads if you're looking for friction ;)

i want friction. not the opposite.

I've understood that, yes. Unless we have a totally different notion of what a pad with friction is (which is possible), I'm afraid that you'll be disappointed with these pads (which are pretty much frictionless for me).

if u want rough glide try qck np+. it had more friction than any other steelseries mousepads.
i'm using it with zowie am.
before this i tried qck+: fast as shit, hard to control.
before try qck+ i used to mass/heavy for a years.

"The SteelSeries NP+ is created from high density compressed textile fibers, resulting in a unique rough glide and feeling of the surface."

looks neat, thank you. I will check it out.

Yea my fav is the np+ too and I have also tried a load of other ones.

thank you for this! been using qck+ ever since they came out, but more friction is nice so i might pick this one up :)
though i must say imho qck+ has friction, pretty much tbh, compared to several other cloth mousepads i've tried at friends etc :p

i like dahangs mouse cable :)

standard steelseries kana cord, tho
(white edition)

Are all qck surfaces the same? Just different thickness and size?

no, the ones which are printed with team logos(fnatic etc.) feel different.

seems like qck is the way to go. but which one? there is:

qck
qck+
qck heavy
qck mass

can't figure out the differences at all, steelseries.com is quite vague on that. especially mass vs. heavy?!?! and qck+ vs. qck?

mass is small version from the heavy, qck is small version from the qck+.

get mass/heavy, the others are to thin and feel different to what you most probably expect. not so much cloth but thin layer of rubber that lets you "feel" your table, you want the thicker versions.

There is also a Qck Mini. People compare this to the Razer Goliathus. Which one is better?

qck have no longevity , my razor mantis speed is still better after 5 years of use and abuse (the qck has lasted just on 6 months before becoming non-smooth)

Mantis tends to tear on sides

Steelseries Qck pads and Razer Goliathus pads are the best I've used. Both are good for anything.

Im comparing the old logo heavy vs the newly purchasd one. The old logo heavy used a more solid anti-friction rubber material at the bottom than new one. The logo is some sort of annoying sticker whick makes the logo area unuseable, it feels like you can remove the logo by scratching with your nails a couple of times, the old one is printed within the texture of the pad. Finally the feel feels too damn smooth for my taste, but that's probably because I dont remember how the brand new old logo one felt.

In any case for 2 reasons I mentioned seems like Steelseries is now reducing costs of their products by using materials of less quality.

QCK+ Heavy is fucking godlike. I will never own another brand/style. I have 2 more in the package in case I ever happen to eat or smoke mine when i'm drunk.

I've thought of the same. If it wasn't for the logo (which is nitpicking on a thing this size) I'd have bought several already because it's the wmo of mousepads.

Bought a mass too but somehow lost it in like a week rofl.

whats the difference between mass and heavy?

size. Same height etc.

one does not simply lose a steelseries mousepad

Goliathus vs Qck?

The only reason to get a Goliathus is if you own an Abyssus, otherwise it's poor quality like most razer products. QCK is not top quality either (e.g., just look at how much friction changes after the first 1-2 months of usage..), compared to for example the Puretrak Talent it's clearly inferior. But fanboys keep hyping it..

Puretrak Talents are expensive though.

.. and extremely hyped.

You are saying puretrak talents are hyped?

It would appear he is.

are you saying it would appear he is?

It would appear I am.
