Most of the forum discussion i've read about these has all been related to StarCraft play, since i've never played it I don't know how it would relate if it did to Tf2. Anyway I recently bought a plastic mousepad and my mouse makes a scraping noise when I move it around. Not exactly sure if it's the mouse feet or the pad itself.

Not sure if getting a cloth one would reduce/remove the scratchy noise but I do plan on getting a new mouse in the near future since mine is just some crappy Logitech wireless one.

lift your cord and see if the noise stops, it may just be that. And a plastic mouse pad will both wear out your mouse feet and the pad itself. If you're going to buy a new mouse, I would by a new cloth pad o go with it. imo

Current mouse is wireless since I don't have the funds to purchase a new one right away, I was at office depot and remembered I needed a mousepad, I got the a bigger one thinking that the plastic would be super smooth and not textured so it'd just provide a smooth spot to move around on. I'm actually really liking this wireless mouse so i'm somewhat looking at other ones that would be better suited for gaming. When/if I buy a new mouse I will most likely buy a new cloth pad to go with it but for now I guess this is better than the faux granite countertop i'm currently on.

Been playing with it for awhile and really dislike this pad, super slidey and I feel like I don't have any control over my movements. Good for strafing I guess cause my movements are super exaggerated but other than that it's a pain in the ass.

Pure Trak Talent.

I have used plastic, metal, and cloth pads. Overall, I think that cloth pads are the best, because they are more gentle on your mice feet. The only downside may be that if they start getting worn there may be more friction.

The puretrak talent looks very nice but if I were to spend $25 i'd rather put it towards a new mouse. Any recommendations for mice as well? I've heard lots of good things about the deathadder but cannot find one of the lower DPI ones for sale anymore. Only ones i've seen so far are like there 3500+ DPI ones and i've been told that is overkill for what i'd be doing.

just deal with the noise or replace your mouse feet; they're probably uneven somewhere
or
just get a cloth pad like the talent
or
get a qpad ct and it's the best of both worlds

Cloth pads are more comfortable for me, easier on your mice feet, but difficult to clean. Hard pads are very easy to clean, but they can really wear out your mice feet.

it ultimately comes down to preference. most people prefer cloth though. i'd listen to dave_ because he has a PhD in aiming and gaming hardware.

Was at office depot yesterday and couldnt find any mouse feet that looked like they'de work the ones they did have look like the things you put under legs of furniture. Around 1/4 inch thick or so.

My Zowie EC1 eVo and AM jitter with that mousepad. I would go with something solid black. Works best with most optical sensors.
What mouse do you have OP?

I have a Logitech M210 really not the best mouse but for right now it works just fine for me. Looking at getting a deathadder but currently not in a position to buy stuff I don't really need.

razer has bad build quality tbh, would recommend other mice over it.

I would recommend a zowie EC1 evo white or the Zowie AM with a puretrak stealth or other pure black mouse pad.
evo versions;
EC1 = same size as DA, maybe wider in middle. Awesome shape.
EC2 = bit smaller, same shape
black = soft felt like top of old DA but hard to grip for me
white = all glossy like old DA sides, very good grip for me.
The Zowie AM is ambidextrous but has the same sensor as the evo.

literally the best mouse on the market for the price right now. Just make sure you buy a later model that doesn't have prediction

Sorry i'm not really well versed in hardware terms, what exactly does prediction mean? Does it like guess where you're moving or something?

Razer calls it angle snapping, some call it prediction. It's basically software assisted line making. So if you can draw a straight line in paint every time without trying, you have it.

Ah, are there any somewhat cheap wireless mouses worth getting? I actually am starting to like the whole wireless thing quite a bit.

Benroadswireless mouses worth getting
No
Your options for flawless mice with no issues is relatively limited.
Logitech g400
Zowie AM, FK, EC 1/2 eVo
All other mice have major problems with build quality, flawed sensors, bad firmware, high LOD, our just piss poor drivers.

Everybody i've asked has told me either Deathadder or G400 what exactly is wrong with Razers build? People have said it's poor but what aspects of it?

The side buttons on my Deathadder went out after like a year. I loved the mouse but now I have a G400(although I should mention this is my second G400, Logitech sent me another for free when I started having intermittent issues with the cable). They both have their own issues with build quality, but you'll still be getting one of the best mice on the market regardless of which one you choose. The only major difference is how you like to hold your mouse.

Buttons break fast
Rubber coatings peel off
I have had ALLOT of mice and so far my best experience was with the Zowie AM
