Sorry to say buddy, but you're the first to complaint about logitech, especially on their built. I have used, and much more heard mostly (or should I say 'only') good things about them.
Any reasons for your such comments on Razer mousepad?
But that does not mean my opinion is any less valuable about logitech. Their 400-500 rs regular stuff is usually good and lasts. But not their "gaming" peripherals. I talked about problems with my equipment and dont deny that any of these were reasonably high end. My cousin got himself a G400 a few months ago, and it has already started to disappoint him. He had a G5 v2 before that which also suffered from the problems I mentioned above. My mouse and his mouse were purchased in different countries, so it could not have been an issue with the batch of shipments.
OP, get the G400 and see how it holds in the long term. I really hope it is still good after 9 months. Or you could get roccat, which is also good. The Taito costs 1.8k IIRC.
About the mousepad, i have tried a few from razer, like the goliathus , sphex, and kabuto. To compare, I tried SS Qck. Much better but still not good enough (for me) so I ended up with an HD series pad (which is out of range for the OP).
I would really suggest the Qck to the OP.
d3p, this is the first time I've heard that small mice cause fatigue and are good for palm grips. As a claw grip user, I found that an ultra small mouse from Xpress (cheap Rs. 200 stuff) which was my staple mouse in 2006-2007 (when I had a 6 year old cheap PC haha), did not fatigue my hand I still believe that it's grip (due to the size) was the best fit for me (mouse was ambidextrous).
