Ordered a func 1030 from Xoxide.com too see what the hype was all about but they sent me a X-ray Thunder 8 by mistake. I'll probably keep it. It is pretty much the same as the func but has a hard solid plastic housing that holds the surface you can flip over. A bunch of small grip pads on the bottom keep it from moving on your desktop. If you like hard surface mouse pad it is really well made. I like the coarse side for optical mouse use.

func was 19.00 and the thunder 8 24.00 so I came out ahead. I have since seen it for same price as the func.

what makes a mouse pad so great? what's wrong with just using a mouse on your desk? not trying to be mean, just wondering...

I don't have a digital camera but you can check out Xoxides website. They sent me the all black one in the upper right.

I had the exact same attitude, until I upgraded to a Logitech MX510 and a Ratpadz GS. At first it was weird, but after a while it was so nice, I hate using normal mice and mousepads now. I haven't heard of these mousepads, but I'm sure they're just as good if not better than the Ratpadz.
