So I really need a new mousepad becuase my borther and his friend cut up my mantis. I glued it together but it doesnt work. So now I have to choose if I should go for something like a Qpad CT or a custom NOIDpad. Can someone tell me which is better in your opinion and why?

I Use Qck Heavy but i like the NOIDpad but how much are they and are they in the US?

the qpad ct is a thinner version of the qck heavy imo. it all depends on what youre looking for, if you want more glide than id definitely go with the noidpad. the noidpad is the best plastic coated cloth pad in comparison to the razer speed-control-everglide titan in terms of quality, intelligent design as well as a custom look. btw i suggest you get a light colored noidpad if you decide to go with a noidpad because i have heard that the darker pads tend to lose color after time.

yeah i haven't tried out a noidpad for myself but i've heard great things about them

So would NOIDpad beat the everglide titan?? and how do you choose how light of color you want your pad to be?

5-i would say theyre pretty close, both are cloth pads that use a plastic like cover which they refer to as fibertek or something. in terms of quality theyre also very close aside from the noidpad having better edges. i dont think color is such a huge issue just make sure the center or bottom center of the pad where youre going to be using the mouse the most isnt black or as ive been told it might wear out. my noidpad has orange, white, black and red colors in it and they havent faded yet.

ive had both noid and everglide. using everglide at the moment. NEVER GET THE THIN ONE the colours wear out so easily after a while of use and the fact thats thin means it moves about alot

i would get a thicker pad but i had a mate giving away his titan so im now using it. Best mousemat i have ever used.

7-brings up a really good point i completely forgot, get the thick version of the noidpad. the thick version actually isnt that thick but in comparison to the thin version of the noidpad the thick one is more quality in almost every aspect.
