I think I’m gonna go for the qck/qck+ then. What’s the real difference between the Goliathus and Qck?

Move it vertically and notice the jitter.

Just don’t buy a Qck and you’ll be fine.

I don’t get this at all.

I’m planning to buy the Goliathus Control edition for fun to test it.
Right now I’m using the Qck.
One difference is that the Qck has higher friction. It is also much “softer”.
The Goliathus control has a more rough surface.

I like to buy and test stuff so I have lot of mouse pads. The Qck is my first pure cloth pad however.
I have read about people having tracking issues with many laser mice on the Qck, but I have not experiened any problems so far (using Mionix naos 5000). The tracking quality gets the score 5/10 in my surface analyzer, which is worse than the plastic mats which get between 7 and 10, but it still seems sufficently good.

A big problem with many mouse pads, and especially plastic ones (in fact all plastic ones I believe), is that the surface gets a bit worn out after a short period of time. The surface gets a bit more glossy and the friction on those parts increase.
This is a disaster for your muscle memory.

Since imo consistency is more important than anything else for a mouse pad I now tried cloth. And I am positively surprised. The Qck is not that “fast”, but on the other hand it helps you get better control.
Personally I would like a cloth mat with a bit less friction and will therefore try the Goliathus control ed.
What I really would like however is a cloth pad which gets the same tracking score as the plastic ones, i.e a cloth pad adapted for laser mice.

Edit : By the way, I have heard that the Goliathus speed edition has the same problem as the plastic pads, i.e that the worn out parts of the pad gets higher friction.

Roccat Taito or Razer Goliathus Speed

Don’t get the exact mat. It’s cold and your DA stops tracking as soon as you start to sweat a little. And it’s also very noisy

You must be really fat if you start to sweat by just moving your mouse…

Do not go for the QcK, it is bad for the deathadder respawn (I recently got a DA and had a QcK lying around, tried to use it but it sucked for this mouse). Get a Mionix Alioth 400, or there are loads of others which are similarly good.

That Mionix pad seems to have very positive reviews.
I think I try that tomorrow instead of the Goliathus control.

Using DA and qck for 2 years now. Never had a
problem and still it works fine.
