I dont know the english word for it but my corpad xxxxl mousepad dosn't have any Anti-fraying stitched frame like razer Goliathus (i have read it literally stinks, so that's one mousepad i don't want)

Are there any mousepads in 450x900mm with Anti-fraying stitched frame like the razer Goliathus

My mouse is a mionix naos 7000
 
You want my honest opinion? Stitched edging is equally as much a gimmick as their coarse weave surface that is supposed to add the right amount of friction to aid precision.

Bullocks, any halfway well made laminated pad will not fray around the edges, unless you're in the habit of using it to play fetch with your dog. I've had my inexpensive Allsop pad for several years and the only wear on it is the area that gets the most mouse activity is a bit blurred on the printed surface. The edges are not frayed at all.

Furthermore, the precision can be controlled by mouse DPI settings and/or mouse sensitivity in game. Aside from that, All mouse glides get less slick over time, which in itself adds a bit of friction. If you don't want that friction, you just dab them with a bit of ArmorAll or furniture polish, and they're slick as new.

Razer is one of the most overrated, overpriced brands in gaming. Don't be fooled by their silly gimmicks. Mouse pad edge stiching is more a feature of unnecessary style than durability. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised given some of Razer's poor QC, that it could end up looking uglier if that stitching starts unraveling.
 


LOL, whatever floats your boat man.

Personally I've gotten very comfortable with a heavy duty tilt/swivel pullout tray on my desk that has a full length padded wrist rest which I can adjust height wise to use in conjunction with my task chair arms. Plus I tend to lift the mouse during aggressive boss battles and/or games that aren't all that well adapted to mouse and require lots of pad swipes, so a surface with padding helps. Other than that, it's so nice to have a surface that glides easy and is softer than your mouse feet. Over time, not long for some surfaces, your mouse feet will start showing considerable wear on hard surfaces (less so on something like HPL or Melamine), and then it becomes a drag, literally.

The best part is, I only spent $25 for my desk and pullout combo, which was used but in great condition at Boeing Surplus (now closed). It has a 1.25" thick MDF top with durable HPL walnut finish and tubular square steel legs. The only slight issue was I had to buy a piece of 2"x2" ash, which I had cut in half to use as spacers between the legs and top, as the desk height was not tall enough for my legs. I topped the ash off with a coat of walnut stain and you can hardly even tell it's been modified. Didn't cost more than $10 for the wood, stain, and hardware.

The funny part was, between the desk and task chair I bought for $15, both of which I had to disassemble to fit in my '79 Corolla, it had my car sagging from the weight all the way home, and it had truck type leaf springs on the rear. Them were the good old days. I really miss Boeing Surplus, great store.

 


i've just been using my flaccid p____ as a mouse pad. it's big enough to let me mouse around on my 7-screen desktop. the 8th screen might be "stretching it" though....
