Of those who use a computer

Do you use a mousepad? Ive been noticing my 2 “mice”(one corded and one cordless) both have a bit of “drag”. Meaning that the sensor doesnt always pick up the movement and the on screen movement isnt always steady.

Does a mousepad help? I dont use one. Dont know whether to buy a new mouse, mousepad or both.

Anyone?

I currently dont use a mousepad but i think it helps with gaming…i play counter strike without a mousepad though and dont seem to have any problems

I would definitely get a mousepad if I were you. They are generally pretty cheap, especially if you don’t get a fancy gaming one.

What you described sounds like an issue with the sensor having a bit of a disconnect with the surface.

I’m thinking you are right

I use gaming mice and they don’t drag. Their sensors are pretty good and accurate but they do cost some. You pay for what you get with most computer peripherals. I have used Corsair M65’s for years now. Have weights in them and you can tune the weight to get a good feel. Great for gaming but they are heavy which I like…I don’t do well with light mouses.

My favorite model of mouse is so old that I can’t find any online that don’t break within a few months of buying them. They haven’t been produced for 20 years. Original Microsoft Optical Mouse lol.

I use the trackpad as long as I’m not gaming. I use a controller with most games, just plug in a mouse if I am playing a game that needs it.
