Logitech G440 Hard Gaming Mouse Pad for High DPI Gaming

I used to be a competitive gamer (back in 1999-2002) and have relied on cloth mouse pads since then. For the past 4+ years I've been all about League of Legends. I am a platinum elo player (nothing to brag about but not entirely a noob either). You can only gather so much information online about hard surface vs cloth, and the only way you'll know if a hard surface mouse pad works for you is to try it in person. This mouse pad works wonders. This pad is perfect. Took me less than an hour to adjust to it. Major complaint people have about hard surfaces is the difficulty with which sudden mouse stops you may want to make because the surfaces are so smooth that mice tend to glide on them too much. On this surface the mouse glides smoothly but the surface also a grainy texture to it at the same time so if you ever want to make those twitch movements and sudden changes in direction, you can without over extending the movement. I am also an active photographer and do spend a healthy amount of time editing photos. The fact that this surface presents less friction vs cloth helps me out for extended editing or gaming sessions. My wrists and arms don't get tired as often and the size is ideal. I really wish I had purchased this years ago. 5 stars all the way! Well worth the $30.

TL;DR, It's bigger than standard and works really well. Before the G440, I've only ever had the cliche cloth mouse pads that we all used in the rollerball days. Since then I always just ran directly on the desktop. I recently got a Logitech G502 for my desktop and G604 for my laptop and I could feel the desk surface was holding me back when gaming. I wanted a mouse pad that would offer the most space in conjunction with my TKL keyboard (which is the same width as my laptop), and arrived at this pad. First impressions is that it's thick and slick! I like the harder surface and how easy it allows the mouse to move. It actually took some adjustment on my part for the first few days, as I've had a surface anything like this! I absolutely love it.

I got this to replace my old "Steel Series" mousepad, which was slightly bigger than this one (It was huge; this one is very big as well) but over the last 10 years or so lost its "frictionless" feel. This Logitech mousepad has returned the joy of silky-smooth mouse control to my gaming experience. If you are thinking about buying one of these, I can tell you that this type of mousepad feels great and lasts for a long, long time. The only downside is that if you have a smaller desk the mousepad may make your keyboard placement awkward, but this will not be a problem for most people. This is a great mousepad.

Let me start off by saying, I love Logitech products and their approach to their gaming series. I own a great deal of Logitech products, but this is the first to let me down a bit. The greatest flaw on this mouse pad is the rough cut edges! They practically cut into your flesh if you are a lazy mouse wielder like me. I generally wear a T-shirt exposing my wrist when gaming and this mouse pad just leaves me looking like a cutter. The only way I could work around this is to tape the bottom edge so that it was not sharp anymore. I seriously cannot recommend this to any serious gamer out there. Here are my quick PROS/CONS: +Great surface texture for the mouse +Doesn't budge even when flailing your mouse around in madness +Elegant looks and a perfect gaming size, not too big or small -Rough edges cut into flesh -No smooth surface option My alternate pick for a mouse pad would be one from Func. I personally use a sUrface 1030 Archetype Mouse Pad and love it. They are a bit harder to find, but if you look hard enough you can find them. UPDATE 10/28/14: I have been using this mouse pad at work for quite some time now and I must say the rough edges are less noticeable now. I actually added a star back to this review because over time this pad still looks rather new despite being used rigorously for more than 7 hours a day. Thanks for the comments about how to file down the edges as well, that should help people on the fence about this pad.

I've had many mousepads over the years and they were all cloth. Most of them suffered the same fate as the cloth began to slow down or the grip on the pads failed but this one is the best one I've ever had for gaming. It's super fast and large and holds a great grip. What the picture doesn't show is that it's actually the newer "models" or version of the pad with the white logitech logo instead of the blue one which is what I wanted. The only thing about the pad which I don't like, and many others say as well is that its edges are sharp. But it's no problem as you just get some sandpaper or a nail file and smooth it down and its perfect afterwards.
