The last two gaming pads I've used have both been the Ratpadz GS. They're not too big, not too small, have a great surface with non-slip pads underneath but the problem is that they wear out quite quickly, and I don't even game that much. I want to upgrade to something better but have no idea which surface and/or which product is the best out right now.

What is the best surface for gaming pads?

For me, cloth just because you can't break your mouse pad lol/
i play on a vinyl surface i think, its not to glossy. It works fine with a laser mouse
i use a jumbo cloth pad (http://www.xtracpads.com/hybrid.htm) ... primarily because it is quiet.
mate try buying Teflon. you can buy sheets of it from most places. And stick it to say a plastic cover and its perfect.
I use an S&S SteelPad (dont let the name fool you it's textured plastic lol)my mouse has Teflon gliders, theres little to no friction, makes for faster movements, I hate cloth pads now, they put me off no end.

Comes with replacement gliders for those of you with cheapo mice.

Ya the S&S are great. A lil pricy perhaps but if you want quality they are for you.
i use my desk. its brown like wood. it reflects my laser really well.
I use:

The K-Mart nearby has them on clearance for $1.50, so I picked up 4 of them.

I use a QcK mini Steelpad. It's a mousepad made of fiberglass fabric stuff thingy and anti slip layer on the bottom. You can also roll it up . Check it out:

What's a good site to get teflon mouse feet on? If they're on Newegg or TigerDirect then I can't find them for some reason, and Zimzoomfly and xoxide.com doesn't have any either. Thanks for the help so far.
aluminium,
its coated in crystals on one side for control
other side its coated in teflon like material for speed
this mat is the Razer eXactMat
its ultimate for laser mice

hard plastic all the way.. i recommend the 1 from CyberSnipa
I have an S&S steelpad but it's very, very worn out. so far it's eaten through 4 sets of S&S G5 teflon feet in about 3 months. I'll probably replace it with a 5L, those look good
How about a chopping board from the kitchen? It's hard, smooth and great for smashing stuff on if you have a tantrum
I, on the other hand, started using a simple icemat recently - before that it wos the surface of the table as most simple mouse mats are just too small while cloth ones have a nasty habit of getting messed up by spilled drinks or sweat after some intense gaming.
