| X-Ray Technology X-Ray Pads - Page 3 of 3 |
Conclusion:
All of the X-Ray Technology mouse pads discussed in this review worked very well with both the Logitech MX1000 laser mouse and a standard optical mouse. While gaming, I felt best using the Thunder 8 pad on the rough surface, mainly because of the size and texture of the pad. The Thunder 9 would have been on the top of my list if it would have fit my desk without rearranging things. The Aqua 3 pad also would have rated higher on my list if I was into drafting and had a large work area. All of these pads should hold up to years of torture from gamers and the average pc user.
