Full Tilt's mousepad

gurgeh · #1 12-07-2006, 01:52 AM

This is the only surface I've ever used that has made my mouse pointer jump all over the place. I have no explanation as to why, but I'm using a Logitech MX300 (in other words, a damn good optical mouse) and if you move it over the house or the faces of Team Full Tilt, it jumps all over the place.

They even sent me a second mouse pad to see if that one "worked." Same deal. Nice response from support, but man this pad stinks. Has anyone ever had a similar problem?

I have to use a mousepad on my desk but it's clear glass.

It's probably trying to avoid Matusow's face.

It guarantees a smooth surface. My desk is kind of old and crappy, so yeah I still need a mouse pad.

I have Party's too, but it's way too small.

why not buy a mousepad from a store with correct size and stop taking up space at this forum with such a off topic post. Just my opinion.

If you're going to be a troll and then end with the most idiotic sentence ever devised by thirteen year-olds, please at least act like you passed your high school English class.

I'm going to take this to the Psychology forum and see if they can explain why people who have nothing to add nevertheless insist on trying. In the meantime, enjoy being ignored.

I had the same problem with the mousepad Full Tilt gave out at the WSOP (don't know if it's the same one). And yes, I'm another one of those people who for whatever reason prefers to use a mousepad with an optical mouse. Maybe I'm just used to it. My current mousepad has a built-in gel wrist support, so that's nicer than just the desk.

My desk at home has a glossy finish and I have the same problem with the jumping pointer if I do not use a mousepad. I've never seen the mousepad from fulltilt in person, but I would assume that its reflecting the beam in certain places.
