Guys, how many of you still have the DUKE mousepad? (Not many id assume) I dont have an original one, but I slapped in some high res art from GOG into that free mousepad thing.

This mousepad even shows up IN max payne. HOW META

Still using mine. Even after the Pillars of Eternity one came in the mail haven't switched.

The only thing is that the bottom right corner is flatter and looks more worn probably because of my hand. I should really rotate it.

Still rocking mine! This thing has seen some shit

I also just realized, that mouse is about the same age.

The fraying isn't too bad. You should clean it though, just water and like some shampoo will make it look good as new. I've washed mine two or three times through the years, once because I spilled a can of coke on it.
 
Mousepad thread?

Still rocking my fUnc Surface 1030 which I got in 2002(?)

Mine is not as clean as this image :p

I can't use any other mousepad, the surfaces are all wrong.
Ooo I had one of these, it was amazing. But the rubber frame at the bottom got all nasty, presumably from my sweaty wrist, so then the surface wouldn't sit properly. :(

Yeah, my rubber pad is a little warped, but regular cleanings help. It is definitely warped the most where my sweaty wrist sits :p

Haven't thought about cleaning it! I'm going to take a before and after picture just for you guys. Get HYPED.
 
Seems like the max payne mousepad is quite the legacy peripheral to have.

The original artwork is still very cool. I wish this series goes back to the black/white/red aesthetic and we get a sin city esque visual style for max payne 4.
 
I threw my max payne one out when I got my reaper of souls mousepad. It was more than a little gross by the time it saw it's end.

Haha, I used to have that mouse, it was great.

Every time I think of max Payne I think of the Fringing remix with Noreaga, shit is funny what he says at the end.
 
They were all dead. The final click was an exclamation mark on everything that had led to this point. I released my finger from the scroll wheel, and it was over.
 
End of an era. I know a friend of mine was using one a few years ago, not sure if he still does. It was looking pretty grimey when I last saw it.

I use mine everyday since 2003. Still in mint condition. Truly amazing.
 
Probably my favorite mousepad it is super thing and just attach to your desk surface. I don't own a lot or razer but this pad is amazing been using it for 3 years now so fucking good.

I still got this as my mousepad forever! Cheers to you, it's such a long time that the game came out.

And it'll always be my favorite!

Something is on your desk for 14 years and it never occurred to clean it, alrighty. I clean my mouse pad in the sink with some hand soap once a year or so. My prior mouse would have it's movement messed up by a stained pad, so otherwise I would have been buying new mouse pads all the time.

Granted I guess if it was cheaply made it could theoretically mess up the image.

Wow, weird timing. Mine just came in the mail today.

I had to finally replace my BFG Ratpadz GS. I had that thing for about 10 years!

Shit this is what I'm replacing mine with! Does it suck? It has excellent reviews on Newegg!

I really have nothing good to say about it. It comes rolled up so getting it flat takes time. Then it just feels like a thin mousepad. Then it falls apart.

It gets good reviews because fifteen year-olds see it used in CS:GO tournaments.
