I use a HYTE CNVS deskpad and a Razer Firefly hard surface mousemat. I’ve found I prefer hard surface mats over cloth ones. I also really like the Razer Mamba Hyperflux, but they don’t make it anymore. It’s a Firefly mouse mat that wirelessly powers the included mouse and it’s a really neat design, though doesn’t work well if your desk has metal supports under where the mousemat goes. For that reason I use it at work, not at my gaming setup.

My first thought is that there might be some Kind of DRM involved, early access and dev versions might not have it but the full releases might.

MoLoPoLY OP ,

Maybe… If I use the stable version, it works also sometimes with PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1, but has only 2fps. I can remove this parameter with the dev version and have 45fps.

ogeist , in LAVD Kernel Scheduler Shows Promising Results For Linux Gaming

For those interested, the AUR package is

scx-scheds

It appears you can change the scheduler on the fly so I will definitely try it. There are more schedulers available as well.

There’s a comment in the article that says you can improve performance drastically, hard to believe but we will see.

(e)BPF’s sched_ext allows dynamically loading schedulers from user space, yes.

ogeist ,

You do need a kernel with the sched-ext kernel option. Trying to install it right now.

Which version was that introduced in? 6.9?

ogeist ,

It’s not in the mainline, you need to either install the cachyos repo or compile the kernel with patches.

because we all use linux and can hopefully make fun if ourselves…

I have used a Logitech G440 Hard Gaming Mouse Mat for the last 20 something years.

It’s gotten a bit battered and starting to de-laminate on one edge but it’s still perfectly usable even after all these years.

I used a HyperX Fury S XXL for 4+ years with no issues before switching to a glass mousepad. I’ve heard Artisan mousepads are really good, or Artisan clones like the LGG Saturn Pro

I used to have a hard mousepad, because I thought it was “cool”, but in retrospect it was basically no different than just using my desk would have been. They’re noisy, and 99% of them just give off edgy gamer vibes.

Cheap neoprene (or similar) mousepads are all about the same in terms of performance, but pricier ones typically look better and may last a little bit longer.

Recently I’ve upgraded my setup to a wool one from here: grovemade.com/desk-and-mouse-pads/

Its been about a year and I still love it, but I will note that I can see how the slightly rougher texture could be a turnoff for some people. They do have other options with different natural materials you may be interested in. IMO, all of their options look classy AF, and I like the use of more natural materials

Sunny OP ,

wow wow wow! Seriously, thanks for sharing this one! These look like great quality and exactly the kind of pad I was looking for. Love the variety they have as well.

Have a splendid day 🌻

I personally use a very thin hard plastic mousepad that sticks to the table, the Razer Sphex v3: www.razer.com/gaming-mouse-mats/razer-sphex-v3

It can be very loud to move your mouse on at first (also depending on the skates on your mouse), but once the texture wears off it’s very, very smooth.

It’s not very durable, take it off a few times and it’ll probably not stick well to the desk anymore (it doesn’t ruin your desk though). I still like it the most though.

Sunny OP ,

thanks for sharing!

I have a metal one I got for father's day a few years ago that I like pretty well but most of the time I just use my desk unless I'm traveling.

MakePorkGreatAgain , in Recommendations for an authentic mousepad?

i got an amazonbasics one for really cheap - wont link it but it’s held up really well and is very comfortable.

I personally use a glass pad but they aren’t for everyone.

Damn, some people love their mousepads!

Mazoku ,

Does attaching that license work?

onlinepersona ,

Dunno, we’ll see. I hope it will.

There’s a lawsuit against microsoft for using copyrighted code to train their coding LLM and it’s being decided.

I’ve used an A2 Olfa cutting mat for a long time (those dark green ones with the grid)

It was really beat up but the underside was pristine. Mice glided a lot. after getting a new mouse I decided to get a traditional cheapo deskmat because I didn’t want to wear the mouse skate pads.

CaptDust , in Recommendations for an authentic mousepad?

I didn’t think about it too much but the Steelseries QcK has done me well for years. It’s a thin, soft mat with a nice sliding not too rough surface. Comes in different sizes.

Sunny OP ,

Just had a look at these actually, good reviews across the board it seems. Looks promising!

wfh ,

I concur with the person above. I have a 4yo QcK Edge mat that still looks and feels almost new. If you thoroughly soak and clean them when they start to get grimy they’ll keep their properties for a very long time.

wiLD0 ,

I’ve been using QcK mousepads for over 2 decades now. Still happy with them.
