So I'm watching this video of Marco Arment's setup and he mentions this teflon pad for the mouse.

That looks so fucking cool! Where do I get one? Anyone know? Pic related.

Also, what do you think of his setup for programming???

well, I don't have one either (I just use the surface of my desk) but this is a cool fucking mousepad. it doesn't look it was meant to be a mousepad either... just some kind of a sheet of teflon.

where do I get one?

also, this marco dude sounds like a nice, chill guy. i'd like to be like him some day.
>>
>>58025088
enjoy your rough surface
>>
>>58025134
what do you mean? my desk is pretty smooth, plus, I barely use the mouse.
>>
>>58025155
if you did some gaming or precision work for 3D modeling, art etc, you'd want one.

buying a precision mouse and then not having a slick surface to glide it on is a waste of your dollars.
>>
>>58025163
sounds like snake oil to me, anyway, that doesn't even look like teflon, looks like some weird mylar type sheet, probably a combination of the two.
>>
>>58025186
what exactly is snake oil here? are you saying that teflon doesn't glide things better?
>>
>>58025200
your accuracy crap talk.
>>
>>58025206
it's true. when you move your mouse, friction makes it jump around by small amounts. eliminate small jumps = smoother mouse movement.

come on, are you 12 or something? this is like basic HS physics.
>>
>>58025218
its not noticeable you sperglord.
>>
>>58025226
can you prove it?

what's then the fucking point of getting a high PPI mouse then? yet ppl swear by them and win thousands upon thousands of dollars in matches due to them?
>>
>>58025218
burden of proof falls onto the person making the positive affirmation. Now let's assume you're right, if you want accuracy you should be using a trackball not a mouse, I'm done with this conversation.
>>
>>58025163
>>58025266
the fuck are you talking about? people play on 800 dpi and use cloth over hard pads exactly because they have more friction and give more control.
>>
>>58025293
>if you want accuracy you should be using a trackball not a mouse
Do you have any proof that a trackball is more accurate than a mouse? I'm not even the person you're replying to, but you sound like a 10 year old who's trying to argue and doesn't want to actually hear any other idea so you instantly shut down a discussion with a blanket "I'm done with this, i'm taking my toys and I'm leaving".

If trackballs were more accurate you'd imagine a lot more people who play things like FPS games using them. This is of course anecdotal, but I certainly have to question the validity of your claim.

People may win millions of dollars on mice that support high dpi, but none of them actually make use of it
>>
>>58025065
Your mouse has teflon feet already.

>I'm done with this discussion

Trust me, it's pointless trying to reason with manchilds on /g/. It's like the same idiots making threads to convince people to buy Mac's or that SSD's are snakeoil.

ya lost anon, go to your mechanical keyboard threads.

>if you want accuracy you should be using a trackball not a mouse
lol, you're aware that the most precise people on mice aim with their arm, not their fingers, right?
>>
>>58025536
you're wrong, people use trackballs for accuracy and ergonomics, there's more out there than gaming, and even clever gamers use trackballs.
>>
>>58025545
>you're wrong
aiming with your arm improves your accuracy and lowers wrist injuries
>and even clever gamers use trackballs
you're funny
>>
>>58025557
nope
>>
>>58025560
Find me somebody known for their precision that uses a trackball or aims with their wrist. I'm waiting.

Make sure you get a teflon tampon for your vagina you fucking fag

Can't find one, huh?

I don't go on /v/

>>58025569
>aims with their wrist
I do and I won several counter strike and battle field tournaments.
Do you really aim with your arm? Sounds not very comfortable.
wrist+fingers=best
>>
>>58025620
>Sounds not very comfortable.
It's the only way to aim for high precision, wrist aiming doesn't use much surface area so you need higher sensitivity. You can aim with your wrist if you raise your sensitivity but you become less accurate and have more wrist issues.
also, this guy has a pretty gr8 blog for ergonomic tips

I doubt mine does. It's cheapo Microsoft Sculpt one. It has some plastic on the bottom but it's not that slippery.

not him but holy shit was this hard for me. I think it's because my screen res was so huge.

MS Sculpt mouse, no mouse pad of any kind.

is your score in normal mode?

Epic+tiny,you probably can not get as many clicks in normal mode [did not test tho]

razer goliathus speed mat,tyrant mouse[13$] wrist+fingers Tyrant is cheap mouse with bad software but good sensor and acceleration , my main mouse broke

naahh you went too far, breh. 67 hits would be ~4.5hits/sec. calling bullshit.
>>
>teflon pad
For what purpose? Preventing your mouse from overheating?
>>
>>58025826
Teflon is non-stick stuff on pans. It rejects grease and stuff and is generally very low-friction
>>
>>58025874
for sensor to measure accurately you need rought dark surface .
>>
>>58025898
That pad in OP has a pattern on it.

Op evidently can't use google:

Feel free to link a single reputable ABX study of mouse pads vs “gaming performance”
>>
>>58025310
cloth pads and low dpi does not mean a mouse is less accurate
accuracy is independent of sensitivity and the material of the mouse pad is not as important as how uniform the surface is
friction is not bad when it is consistant
>>
>>58026013

Do the test above. Post your scores.
>>
>>58025293
Precision is consistency retard. If you have inconsistent and unpredictable friction your mouse movement is going to less consistent and good performance will be less reproducible. That's deductive reasoning. What kind of proof did you want? How would you test this claim?

Also "crap talk" implies a positive claim to the contrary, in which you would also have a burden of proof.

>Now let's assume you're right, if you want accuracy you should be using a trackball not a mouse

No because there's a multitude of other factors that could make trackballs inferior, but I'm not going to claim to know if that's the case. I've seen very good trackball play.
