dont have much experience with this problem. but looks like the problem is that the sweat from ur hand is getting spread out on the pad. and since its a hard pad, its probly also water resitant. which means ur moisture wont be absorbed and will stay on the surface playing havoc with the sensing.

possible solutions that come to mind. umm with my grip the way sweat gets transferred to the pad is at the sides of the hand near the wrist. where u hold the mouse-base. so if it's reaaaally a problem, getting one of those wrist pads mite help. it reduces friction between ur hand and the pad dramatically. (or so i've heard).

i recently got a qck+ and it was initially a little (very little) bit of a problem. but the cloth surface seems to absorb the moisture pretty fast and it didnt result in any appreciable decrease in mouse performance. but then again i have an mx518. how a laser mouse reacts mite be different.

also im not completely sure why, but the majority of reviews seem to indicate that cloth mouse-pads are better than hard ones. im guessing this has something to do with the surface patterns.

steelpad 5l is good for sweaty hands never had a problem with it, but its so damn expensive.

ratz said if the 5l would be bigger he would give it a try, so it isnt that good if ur sense is low like hell.(never got a problem with lowsens if the accel is big enough ;>)

if u dont wanna change mousepad i would suggest a piece of rags for making the mousepad and the hands dry.

if u wanna chance qck+ or another mousepad.

They say qpad is made to resist sweat,it shouldnt have a problem with sweaty hands,cause of the material (cloth combined with something else,dont remmember),I use qck+ and after a while sweat sticks to the pad,so u need to wash it.But u also need to be very careful and use middle temperature water,a mild shampoo and then wash it with your hand.Water should be not hot and not cold,it should be right in the middle.I didnt know this untill hq told me so I deformed my qck+ in hot water.Now the feeling is terrible,but I still claim its the best pad ever,I tried almost all cloth pads on the market xcept corepad eyepad and some hard ones like everglide giganta.Qck+ beats them all.Maybe hq wants to add some details concerning what exactly happens if u wash it in hot water .... :]

wtf, do u know about what r u talking? All mouse based on Avago ADNS-6010 sensor (logitech: g3 g5 g7 and razer copperhead, microsoft habu) has prob with icemat pad.

Back to topic. KX its normal prob with icemat, its very sensitivity on dirt. Tips: huh just wash very offen hands ;] and clean nostop pad;]

mmmh, i have also a prob with sweaty hands.

i use Qpad since arround 8 months now. and its the best pad i ever had.

kk, it becomes brighter and brighter in the area i use the mouse, but it sill rocks. I never had any sens-props, and its pretty resitable against a bit bigger pieces of dirt. I washed it 1 time with cold water and a bit of cleaning stuff, because some beer dropped on it, but it still rocks.

I dont feel any unsual friction on that pad.

(using razor copperhead).

I just have sometimes prob with the copperhead itself, sometimes it changes dpi just in game while a joinlag.

(btw, THE NAME ICEMAT dont come from nowhere not sweaty hands have low probs on it )
