I heard the regular PureTrak Talent increases your LOD (lift off distance) quite a bit.

Does the white version lower it, and if so, how much?

I don't really want to use the tape trick.

Currently I'm using a G400 on an Artisan Shidenkai (strawberry/milk color) and the LOD on it is very low, but the G400 has tracking issues on it for extremely fast movements (flick shots).

So now I need a super slick, fast, and frictionless mousepad with a very low LOD.

Do you guys recommend the PureTrak Talent WHITE Special Edition Soft Cloth Mouse Pad or should I be looking for something else?

Are there any good hybrid pads out there, similar to the Shidenkai but with no tracking issues? How about the Xtrac Hybrid, anyone know anything about it?
