How to clean QCK Heavy mouse mat (31 comments)

So you see my shit there started to look like a jungle because how awesome new games are and there is nobody left to play them. Besides that I got tired reading the same god damn question how to clean mouse pads! It's like replying to monkey_business thread. Well here is a quick how to.

Get that nice and wet, get a brush and start removing that pussy hair.

Look at that black awesome goodness

Next you dry it (outside if not cold, or inside on the radiator). It's a sponge so it dries pretty quick but preferably leave it over night.

Now ok, once it gets wet you can't see the stains anymore so make sure you brush all areas well, because as you see I missed the bottom part and realized that once it started drying. Guess I will fix that mistake in another 3 months.
Voila!

I've had the QCK Heavy for 3-4 years and I plan on using it for another 10. I never should have switched to hard surface few years ago. I guess that was the trend back then.

Now you are probably asking yourself what did I use to clean the mat, what's that green gooey shit? Well listen up bitches and you might learn something because my nigger Billy Mays hooked me up

Brushing a pad is a great way to ruin the texture.

I hate to be the first one to tell you but you've been buying the wrong kind of brush all these years. Look for a domestic instead of hardware shop next time!

ffs there is a penguin inside my brush, how can that ruin anything apart from make it more awesome!? Penguins love pro gaming surfaces

Because sweat cannot be vacuumed.
Neither can be sperm or vaginal discharges.
or 100% organic lube for anal play.

It feels like the first time you bought it. No imperfections or stuck bits that you normally feel when you move slowly (got to stop eating in front of the pc). Also the density of the surface (sliding) hasn't changed over the years. I know because a friend recently bought one and I gave it a try and I couldn't tell any difference when I fired up CPMA. He was also surprised how well it's held.
I mean christ I had one of those shitty Razer Exact Mat plastic surfaces and within two years I worn out the plastic. The Control side no longer felt like 80 grit sand paper but it dropped to more like 180 grit. Same story with the Speed side, the surface just glazed and this suppose to be something that should last a long long time.

as long as it has that consistent glide across, why bother with washing, just vacuum it if its dusty?

1) go to kitchen
2) put washing liquid on soft side of sponge
3) rinse it through
4) wet your mousepad from the faucet (lukewarm temperature preferred. Hi Luke btw, haven't seen him for some time)
5) TITS ARE AWESOME
6) clean both sides as you would a dish, then rinse the motherfucker then dry it for approx 6-9 hours on any utensil you'd dry clothes on.

Follow that guide and gg no re)

Or you can just skip all the hassle and put it in the washing machine at 30c. If you have a net for 'fine' clothes you can use that, minimizes mechanical tear. I

Or you could skip that hassle as well and just order a new one.

Just saying its less work and more effective. Probably less damaging to the mat as well.

OP made me laugh :') I also have a QCK heavy, I don't need to wash it yet, but I think you can also use these products that allow you to just let the pad wet for a few minutes, and you won't need to use a brush. If it works well with clothes I guess it can with the pad?

Any suggestions about the brush? Which wont damage it? Concrete examples and brands appreciated:)

Best to buy a new pad and not overpriced qck that lasts a month in perfectly clean conditions, not OP's cat seducing lair.

After cleaning It will always glide uber shitty, unless you got some magic housemaid skills so the mats texture regenerates.
