Oh Gee! Just What I Wanted… Another
Review
(But, with a twist...)
The Performance Factor:
Okay… It’s nice and all, but
how does it Quake? I’m using a
Microsoft Intellimouse Pro with my Ratpad and as I’ve said above it is an
extremely smooth surface. I notice
hardly any friction at all and it took me a little time to get used to
precision of the movement. Speaking of
movement… The Ratpad is not going anywhere… They’ve taken into consideration
the possibility of sliding and strategically placed nine rubber feet on the
bottom of it to keep it stationary. I
was also able to react a hell of a lot faster in Q3 now and it was extremely
responsive. The mouse actually felt
like a natural extension of my hand and added extra depth to my gaming
experience. It’s somewhat difficult to
explain. But, trust me… It’s definitely
a good thing. People who work with
graphics and CAD programs can definitely benefit from the huge surface
area and precision of the Ratpad.
Conclusions:
In my opinion… The Ratpad is
the ultimate in mousing surfaces. The
“FragMaster” has definitely done his homework on this one… You can definitely tell that it’s a product
made by gamers for gamers. I absolutely
recommend the Ratpad to anyone who’s serious about their gaming
experience. Also, if you spill your
beer (or Coke) or get your Dorito crumbs all over it, simply spray it down with
some Windex and wipe it off with a paper towel and you’ll be ready to go again
in less than a minute. For the mere
$18.95 price tag on this baby, you can’t go wrong and you won’t be sorry…
Now, on to the fun stuff:
Since we’ve already covered
the official stuff I can have a little fun.
Okay, so your eyes are all tweaked out and bloodshot from hours of
non-stop fraggin’ and you need to do something during your recovery time. And you think about it a bit and realize
that your Ratpad will be lonely if you step away from the computer. Here’s a few things to make it useful in
those situations:
