Another mousepad thread

Been reading around about mousepads and the puretrak talent has come up a lot as being really good. However, I'm using the deathadder 2013 at a high sens(3"/360) so would that be good with the talent? According to some reviews/forums it's supposed to be smooth and good for low sensitivity but harder to control.
Basically I'm just looking for a good mousepad for my high sens that won't break on me in 1 month.

Edit: puretrak talent, qck and goliathus are the main ones I'm considering. Anything else to look at?

I use a g400s on a qck+ at the moment. I just bought a puretrak talent because I needed a thicker mousepad (there's a gap where I put my mousepad on my desk, so I need a thicker pad to keep me from getting hung up on it). I don't think you'll have an issue with high sens on it, anymore so than you would on a qck+ or a goliathus. The goliathus was the first mousepad I bought, and I used a pretty high sens (5'/360) on it without issue.

Also fyi, puretrak is having a sale right now.

Aside from being thicker how would you compare the qck to the talent?
edit: Thanks jacky ha
Think I'll go with the talent then

I use the same mouse and almost the same sense, and I already made a thread about the same mousepad, thought this might be helpful.

Best mousepad I've ever owned, I've owned qck plus but nothing beats this mousepad in my opinion. Very good for tracking.

i'm going to help you out and open your eyes

the differences in various mousepads are 99% placebo. sure, there is a very real difference between the feel of a hard pad and the feel of a soft pad. there are also some mousepads that just don't work well for certain types of sensors, but are you going to notice the difference between a puretrak and a $5 supermat from staples in terms of playing? possible, but very doubtful.

there are some things that will definitely help improve your game. 120hz monitors, computers capable of getting 120 fps, etc. then there are things that are purely preferential and placebo at best, like configs, mouse sensitivities, high dpi mice, mousepads, keyboards, etc., etc., etc.

I can say good things for the goliathus. I had a qck+ but this defiantly has a better surface for tracking, much smoother and my mouse doesn't stick on small movements. HOWEVER... It also looks like absolute ass and I don't like to have it on my desk when friends come over.

I have a high sensitivity as well (5.1"/360, slightly slower than yours) and I do about 99% of my mouse movements with my wrist so I could never use all the space of a huge pad like the Talent (19" x 14"), especially not the vertical space because I plant my wrist pretty hard and it doesn't move up and down all that much. Instead I went with the Puretrak Stealth, (15" x 10") which has plenty of horizontal space for a fast sens and enough vertical space without being enormous. It is also the exact same material, and obviously a little cheaper. The other thing is I like having my monitor a bit closer to the edge of my desk so it fits perfectly. Shoutout to mackey for showing me the Stealth all those years ago.
