So that's cypher, ? , czm, rapha , ZeRo4, chance, dahang.

Who is the guy in the second picture? FienD?

dunno :D

yep, they're pretty damn good

goliathus > qck

omg the ql forums resident retard is coming to esr?

Which one works well for the mx518? The Mousepad SteelSeries Qck+ ? Does it have more friction?

Get a g400 and forget these pads if you're looking for friction ;)

i want friction. not the opposite.

I've understood that, yes. Unless we have a totally different notion of what a pad with friction is (which is possible), I'm afraid that you'll be disappointed with these pads (which are pretty much frictionless for me).

if u want rough glide try qck np+. it had more friction than any other steelseries mousepads.
i'm using it with zowie am.
before this i tried qck+: fast as shit, hard to control.
before try qck+ i used to mass/heavy for a years.

"The SteelSeries NP+ is created from high density compressed textile fibers, resulting in a unique rough glide and feeling of the surface."
http://steelseries.com/products/surfaces/steelseries-np

looks neat, thank you. I will check it out.

Yea my fav is the np+ too and I have also tried a load of other ones.

thank you for this! been using qck+ ever since they came out, but more friction is nice so i might pick this one up :)
though i must say imho qck+ has friction, pretty much tbh, compared to several other cloth mousepads i've tried at friends etc :p

i like dahangs mouse cable :)

standard steelseries kana cord, tho
(white edition)

Are all qck surfaces the same? Just different thickness and size?

no, the ones which are printed with team logos(fnatic etc.) feel different.

seems like qck is the way to go. but which one? there is:

qck
qck+
qck heavy
qck mass

can't figure out the differences at all, steelseries.com is quite vague on that. especially mass vs. heavy?!?! and qck+ vs. qck?

mass is small version from the heavy, qck is small version from the qck+.

get mass/heavy, the others are to thin and feel different to what you most probably expect. not so much cloth but thin layer of rubber that lets you "feel" your table, you want the thicker versions.

There is also a Qck Mini. People compare this to the Razer Goliathus. Which one is better?

qck have no longevity , my razor mantis speed is still better after 5 years of use and abuse (the qck has lasted just on 6 months before becoming non-smooth)

Mantis tends to tear on sides

Steelseries Qck pads and Razer Goliathus pads are the best I've used. Both are good for anything.

Im comparing the old logo heavy vs the newly purchasd one. The old logo heavy used a more solid anti-friction rubber material at the bottom than new one. The logo is some sort of annoying sticker whick makes the logo area unuseable, it feels like you can remove the logo by scratching with your nails a couple of times, the old one is printed within the texture of the pad. Finally the feel feels too damn smooth for my taste, but that's probably because I dont remember how the brand new old logo one felt.

In any case for 2 reasons I mentioned seems like Steelseries is now reducing costs of their products by using materials of less quality.

QCK+ Heavy is fucking godlike. I will never own another brand/style. I have 2 more in the package in case I ever happen to eat or smoke mine when i'm drunk.

I've thought of the same. If it wasn't for the logo (which is nitpicking on a thing this size) I'd have bought several already because it's the wmo of mousepads.

Bought a mass too but somehow lost it in like a week rofl.

whats the difference between mass and heavy?

size. Same height etc.

one does not simply lose a steelseries mousepad

Goliathus vs Qck?

The only reason to get a Goliathus is if you own an Abyssus, otherwise it's poor quality like most razer products. QCK is not top quality either (e.g., just look at how much friction changes after the first 1-2 months of usage..), compared to for example the Puretrak Talent it's clearly inferior. But fanboys keep hyping it..

Puretrak Talents are expensive though.

.. and extremely hyped.

You are saying puretrak talents are hyped?

It would appear he is.

are you saying it would appear he is?

It would appear I am.

where are they extremely hyped? I rather see SS pads and razer crap being hyped everywhere...

The talent is compared only to the qck heavy and they're the same price, 24.99US

Talent will last you way longer and has a much better surface that stays consistent. I went through 2 qcks in a year vs almost 2 years on my talent now

go on their Facebook page cause they just.posted 40% off codes which make them really cheap

You cannot buy them in Canadian Stores though. Only online.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/PureTrak-Talent-19x14...3a7a6419af

$22 + 8 = $30 for canada mates

only comparable when living in the US, otherwise the qck beats the talent on price (shipping) :/

After 2 years and 1 machine wash (+ cleaning once a month with a wet rag) my puretrak still feels as new. QCK instead is supersmooth when you get it but gets sticky after a couple of weeks/months (depends on how much you play). So unless you want a lot of friction I wouldn't recommend the QCK.

I got a new QCK and I hate how smooth it is. I like the "used" feeling better. I cant get used to the new feeling and still using the same old one.

The Puretrack is good, too bad the logo is so ugly I couldn't get one.

I assume that you use high sens (+accel) then?

sens 3.41 accel 0.22

i like the used feeling of the qck's too, they turn pro after about 2 months of usage!

To the QCK userS:

How are you washng your pads?

Washing machine?

Ah ffs not again! This question is like in every QCK topic

toothbrush and some soap

I lay it on the edge of the bathtub, rubber facing down and just rinse it, srub it gently with a towel and let it dry. Adding soap is recommended but only if you know the substances in it.
I know lorfa makes his own.

I know lorfa makes his own.

rofl

lol. i just used a random smooth soap
there is no way to make it black-new again

I clear it with this which makes it as close as black-new..
Too bad my thin QCK's sides are teared(due to soap washing) before I discovered this. However still makes it as good as new for me.

that doesn't get rid of all the dirt/sweat/old skin from the hand tho, which is sucked into the pad after some time.

I don't lol. It's a good idea though to make sure you could use a soap that didn't have chemicals in it that would mess up the surface.

For now I just put it in the bath tub and use a pressurized type shower head on it with hot water and then stick it in the dryer.

a brush and a bit of washing powder did the trick.
was only little bit of water needed too, so it was dry after an hour or so again.
i just lay it in the sink and put a bit washing powder on it, then a bit water and scrubbing all that dirt out.
took 2mins or so.
it's deep black again everywhere but is not even a year old tho.

warm water, then i wipe it of with a towel and let it dry for some hours, i do this circa 4 times/year
