What is the best low friction cloth mousemat? I used to have a hard one but it scratched my mouse feet, and would make a scratching feeling whenever I moved the mouse on the pad. I need an extended, speed, cloth mousemat preferably under £20
 
Solution
This is the one I use (I didnt buy it, Kingston send it to me because of issues with my Cloud IIs), very slick and high quality: http://www.amazon.co.uk/HyperX-Extended-FURY-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B00TY6A2D6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1456166224&sr=8-1&keywords=kingston+mousepad

I would like to say there is no real benefit for using one unless you need it. If you have a level, smooth surface (top of a desk) that isnt clear (glass) you really dont need a mousepad.
I use it because it was free, and the keyboard tray in my dorm desk is not smooth. Back home the desk I built has a smooth finish, so I use the desk.
I use a track ball so I haven't seen a mousepad in 20 years, but the phrasing of your comment got my brain working.
the slickest (lowest friction) cloth I know of is silk. you could wrap your mousepad in a low friction cloth like silk and use that.
you could get a teflon sheet, cut to the size you need and go with that.
searching low friction cloth brings up a multitude of options.

I'm not sure if there's anything you can really do to prevent your mouse feet from wearing away over time. I have a smooth finished desk (smoother than any mouse pad) and my mouse feet also wore away, I had to buy replacements for them, but it worked.
