1. QcK Hard size medium ($30): three stars
The tracking on this “pad” is phenomenal, but the glide makes tracking very hard to control. It feels like I’m playing air hockey. Maybe it’s a combination of my DeathAdder mouse with very smooth feet on this pad but the glide is too much. In FPS games I couldn't keep my crosshairs still when doing nothing and it made it hard to snap back and forth with precision. Also my quick mouse movements in FPS games were too noisy with this pad (most noticeable when in the company of others).
The pad itself is of quality build and very durable and probably worth the price if your mouse doesn’t glide as much as mine did.
2. I returned the QcK Hard for a QcK Limited (cloth type with stitched edge), also size medium ($20): five stars.
This one tracks just as well as the Hard version but I don’t feel like I’m playing air hockey in a pistol fight. I recommend this model over the Hard model. The build is great and the stitching feels like it won’t peal apart after rigorous FPS combat. Cheaper too.
It’s pretty stupid that the lot of product styles all live under one product item thereby sharing reviews. The styles vary wildly enough that a review for one style (QcK Hard) no way represents a review for other (QcK Limited Cloth Stitched Edge). Also, most reviewers here do not identify which style they purchased so their reviews mostly not helpful.
