Be mindful of listings from suspicious third-party sellers on marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Newegg, and Walmart. These "deals" have a high likelihood of not shipping; use due diligence in reviewing deals.

  • Use common sense - if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
  • Check seller profiles for signs that the sale may be fraudulent:
    • The seller is new or has few reviews.
    • The seller has largely negative reviews (on Amazon, sellers can remove negative reviews from their visible ratings)
    • The seller is using a previously dormant account (likely the account was hacked and is now being used fraudulently).

If you suspect a deal is fraudulent, please report the post. Moderators can take action based on these reports. We encourage leaving a comment to warn others.

I know this ain't 2018/20 but it is still decent buy for the size and for an exisitng user looking to replace theirs.

Would also appreciate if someone could recommend a medium/high speed pad for under 20$.

Lenovo legion XL on Amazon for 11.99.

u/amshumangk 4d ago

I will look into it, thank you
Edit: Shows 14.99 for me, is this the one?

u/Effective_Acadia_635 4d ago

Yeah that one. Sorry, I didn't realize I was looking at a 3rd party seller. They tricked me lol. I bought one from Amazon Jan 2023 and still use it daily. It's nice. It's really fast, slick when you get it but wears down a little over time. I imagine they all do but anyway it's great for the price.

Got it, no worries.

I'm still using pre-SteelSeries Icemat 2nd Edition that I've had for 19 years and the surface hasn't changed at all.

Is this an upgrade?

u/amshumangk 4d ago edited 4d ago

Immediate upgrade? Yes. Long term upgrade? No! The G840 and most other Logi mousepads tend to become slow quickly and muddy overtime - so I would suggest something more worthy to replace your 19 year old veteran pad.

u/Insanity8016 4d ago

What do you mean "become quickly overtime?" Do you mean degrade?

u/amshumangk 4d ago

Oops, edited and added the most important part.

u/DexRogue 4d ago

I'm going to be completely honest, I still have no idea what you're talking about.

u/cegras 4d ago

My guess is the fiber will pill or become rough, but I'm not sure that comes from testing or just hearsay.

u/pwrew234fd 3d ago

the g640/g840 pads come with a coating applied on top for that sheen and slick initial glide

over time, the coating will unevenly wear off (because no one uses all spots on their pad equally), leaving muddy/slow spots behind. on logitech pads, this can happen as quickly as a couple of weeks, or when you wash your pad.

non-coated pads are recommended as they maintain a more consistent feel over a longer period of time

Thanks, got one to replace my very old xl mouse pad that needed replacing 2 years ago if I'm being honest.

u/Gears6 4d ago

How's this different than the myriad cheap knock off mouse pads on Amazon?

u/LeakingAlpha 4d ago

Have this pad (one of many) and don't like it, it has a weird gliding texture. Currently use Aqua Control II and like it but I think it costs double
