Can someone please remind me the name of the long rectangular mouse mats you guys use at the LAN?

Thanks.

Aye pretty much but which brand / make is best. I know some have tried a few. Don't want it to 'foamy'

Was it Steel Series?

my daughter has this and loves it:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk-mega-mat-xxl-premium-elite-tactical-gaming-surface-gs-001-oe.html

this is the big steel series one:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/steelseries-qck-xxl-mouse-pad-67500-gs-056-st.html

4mm thick might feel a little spongy but the Steel series mats are good. I have both a QCK+ (3mm) and a QCK heavy (6mm) I use the heavy one as the main it's a really nice surface.

Gotta say these Steelseries suit me as well. I have a medium Silicone one for my desk and place a heavy foam one on top for comfort. Very good value.

I went for another one (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00QN3L4ZI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) as I have a raspberry pi running Linux on my desk and I sometimes need to use the keyboard and mouse with it.  According to the spec that one doesn't support it:

"Platform: [FONT="]Windows 8, Mac OS X, Windows 7, Windows 2000"[/FONT][FONT="]

Can we get some pics chaps? My problem with all of these mats is they are usually too small in the Y dimension. I game on fairly low sensitivities, which means large mouse movements. When I have to look up quickly, I soon run out of real estate.

Here you go. I showed the whole desk for perspective...............

I don't think the Y is too bad.

Ty Pen. Looks about standard, which is to say too small (Y axis) for me :( I'd like to find one about double that size, pretty much the depth of your whole desk would be good!

Cheers. The desks were from a designer called John Lewis of Hungerford https://www.john-lewis.co.uk

We got his 'n' hers matching ones made which are in the same style as the other stuff - dining room table and chairs in the room. The beams came with the house :thumbsup2:

Only a true man can cope with pink walls :lmfao:

Strangely enough, my gaming room is a similar colour, though I'm sure the paint was called "Manly salmon; for manly men", definitely not pink.. :D
