Customer Review: Awesome Mouse Pad.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're having second thoughts about purchasing this pad then don't. I bought mine with the Razer Copperhead and haven't had it skip or jump once during play time. I would recommend this mouse pad to any one. Buy it!Customer Review: Good, but has compatiblity issues.
Summary: 4 Stars
The icemat is a very nice surface, it's smooth, solid, good looking, easy to clean and long lasting. It's nice and thin, so it has a low profile (making the pad a little more comfortable), however over very long periods of time it can begin to hurt your wrist. The rubber pegs on the bottom of the pad do a very good job keeping it static on a desk; not once have I had the pad move accidentally. As a gamer, this is probably the best thing you can get due to the fact that it won't wear out or bend. If you use something like the func surface 1030 then in a short period of time you'll need to start adjusting to the rapidly changing mouse surface. In other words, it's good to have something that you know will always react the same given a certain movement (this is one reason why good gamers always turn off mouse acceleration; it creates unpredictable results). However, the major flaw of the surface, which also happens to be its major advantage, is that it's glass. Many mice don't work with the surface and you might not realize it right away. The easiest way to tell is to move the mouse very rapidly from one side of the surface to the other, incompatible mice will just freeze and make some erratic movement (like my MS laser mouse 6000). From what I hear, the new blue logitech g5 with upgraded firmware works perfectly on this surface, and given that my laser mouse 6000 is fairly old, that's probably what I'll be getting next. Anyways, the reason the icemat got a 4 is because of these compatibility issues with mice, I think the easiest thing for icemat to do would be to create a list of mice that are 100% compatible with the surface, it's the least they could do given the amount of money being spent of these things.Customer Review: Icemat 2nd Edition

If you want consistency and accuracy, get this item. There is no other product that can give you this. I've tried quite a few mouse pads already... Steelpad 5L, Razer Mantis (Control and Speed), but none of them gives consistendy and accuracy like the Icemat does. The only downside is that the mouse is too small to play FPS. My mouse is set to low sensitivity that I'll have to move my mouse to do a 360 degree turn. And that pretty much takes more than 3/4 of the mouse pad.Customer Review: Best mouse "pad" yet...
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros: Looks good, heavy and solid, STAYS PUT, cleans/rinses easily, works.
Cons: Nails-on-chalkboard mousing action if not cleaned frequently.
We've tried and thrown away several junk "high-end" mouse pads. We finally settled on Icemats (3 of them). They need to be kept clean, but otherwise they just sit there and do their job.
Customer Review: Not good for dusty rooms
Summary: 3 Stars
The Icemat 2nd Edition is large, sleek, and surprisingly sturdy, considering it's glass. When the included teflon mouse feet are applied, the mouse glides effortlessly across the frosted glass surface. In theory, at least. Because the surface is so smooth, one speck of dust caught between the mouse and the pad makes a terrible nails-on-chalkboard scraping sound that can be heard and felt. I used it in a small 10' x 12' room, and was having to wipe off the pad every 5 minutes in order to comfortably use the mouse pad. I'd only recommend the Icemat if you have your computer in a large, well-ventilated room. I ended up going with the Func Industries Surface1030, a more textured plastic pad.
