Everglide Mantaray for the kill! Used to have a Ratpadz but it had nothing on these contours.

Have to agree with Koe.. cloth is the way to go.. I use a fairly generic cloth mat and it's great 
- very smooth.

What, like an SS? it was like using sandpaper
My desk is perfectly smooth solid pine, the mouse glides if I polish the desk too

pad of A4 paper...
cheap easy and very good. write notes on it too. and when a layer gets dirty/crappy, rip the sheet out and u have 99 more to go

Flexible 'Non Stick' Teflon Baking Sheet.
Ultra cheap, lasts for ever, does not wear your mouse feet at all!. perfect response etc etc etc, and I've tried various mouse mats all claiming to be the holy grail of mouse mats / pads. ALL were rubbish compared to the baking sheet.

You've all got it wrong.
Can't fault my Icemat 2nd edition, it just loves my MX900! I'v tried teflon baking sheet, it was just unstable and creasable imo. The Icemat is just class.
I remember doing a descriptive review on it

Ive tried a few mousepads and I always go back to this old cloth one ive had for years. I went into my local pc shop once and the guys working there were dumbfounded because i wanted a mouse pad lol they all assumed optical mice didnt need them anymore. I cant use a mouse unless its on pad of some sort, optical or otherwise
and whats all this teflon baking sheet stuff? can i get that from a kitchen ware shop.. might have a go with one

This teflon sheet, you can get from some supermarkets, usually about £3.
Its, basically a teflon coated tightly woven fibreglass sheet and is black with flecks in it.
It is flexible so needs sticking down, I find that Scotch magi tape (The stuff thats supposed to be invisible on paper) works best.
The sheet is 40cm x 34cm in size, so plenty big enough for mouse use.
You just lay it out flat, stick the corners down first with a piece of tape, then stick the edges down with 4 long pieces of tape.
Don't worry, the magi tape can be removed without leaving a trace.
This results in an slippery surface which tracks 100% as fast as you can move that mouse, and I have been using this for years playing Unreal Tournament.
Believe it or not, you can improve things a bit by sticking some teflon feet to your mouse, but with the added advantage that they don't wear out!.
