Pulled the trigger.

It would be really good if it was flat, but like several users reported, mine was received slightly bended and there's no way to flatten it back.
Plus the sticky pads at the bottom use a very poor quality glue or it's their curved design that's flawed, I don't know, but I lost 2 of the front pads already and a third one is on the move, so I guess I'll be losing that one too.
It's molded plastic, for Pete's sake, why can't they include the pads in the mold and let it cool flat?
If that's what "made in USA" mean, then I'd rather have the Chinese version of it, RatPadz manufacturing QA sucks, the XT is not such a good deal as the continuous ads on [H] mislead users into thinking. I can't even bend it flat, as this would require heat, which would melt the grainy surface. Not happy with my XT at all, and it's too late to return it, I didn't notice the slight bend on the edge at first, but my mouse would frequently slide on its own from the pad to the desk when it's resting too close to the edge, and from there to the floor.
Can the OP or admin update the price on the OP because it shows $24.99 when I click the link, unless theres a coupon code I don't know about.
thanks
Oh god no! After almost 3 1/2 years my Ratpad is starting to warp, and pretty bad too. I was wondering why my mouse has begun to slide off the surface on it's own. Having trouble bending it back completely flat. Any tips?
I'm paranoid about spraying any liquid on there like Windexing it. Dusting it has worked well for me so far.
Kyle, what's the recommended way of cleaning a Ratpadz? I've just been dusting mine w/ a feather duster. I'm paranoid about spraying any liquid on there like Windexing it. Dusting it has worked well for me so far.
I hope a Ratpadz isn't flammable.
I use clorox wipes on it all the time with no issues.
Except for the rubber pads. I've replaced the pads on my parents' XT a year or so ago and will be needing to do it again. They come off way too easily. I'm thinking about buying a rubber neoprene mat and using that instead.
Just ordered my first Ratpadz.
The ordering website is annoying. I copied my CC# into that field, so it didn't like it when I submitted it. So I fixed that and submitted it again, but a bunch of the fields reset to their default values. It would be nice if they would keep the user entered values if there is an error. The fields that reset were all drop-down fields and included: Expiration year on CC and State. Can't remember if any others did that.
They are the replacement feet from you guys. I think the problem lies when there is a dust buildup underneath the mat that causes the rubber pads to loose grip. Sometimes the dust will find its way into the adhesive backing which, of course, causes the pads to unstick. I think drilling 2mm round holes into the RatPadz and then getting slightly larger rubber feet to place in that might prevent them from coming off as easily.
More mouse feet than I can remember.. 3 mice. I'm so f'n [H]ard. Smooth as a baby's ass on the bottom hahahahaaaaaa
I'm glad you guys compared Func, because that's what I have. I have to clean it about every six months (not complaining). I have used both sides depending on the mouse. Some felt better on the smooth side and some felt better on the textured side. I use the textured side with my G5 currently. I like the Func but always wonder, "Is there something better?" Sounds like Ratpadz isn't an upgrade. By the way, I've had my Func pad since Summer, 2004. It came with an Alienware laptop. Considering it has been nine years, I wonder if it will ever wear out.IMO...For outright feel....FUNC>Ratpadz...BUT..like you stated...FUNC<Ratpadz in wear characteristics. My 1st 1030 lasted a bit less than a year. 2nd one tad bit longer. Doubt I will buy another FUNC. due to wear issues. (BTW, BOTH sides of my FUNC were worn out in that time.) I'd like to get the RAT, but I think it may be a bit too small for my taste. As for other good pads....my son uses a Rocketfish http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Rocketf...lack/8240405.p?id=1168044601670&skuId=8240405 I really like it. He won it at a LAN party a little over a year ago, and it has held up quite well with little to no wear. It is priced about the same as the Rat and FUNC.
Ordered on the 13th. Haven't received any tracking info, or receipt of any kind. Is this typical?
