I also own a fUnc 1030 mousepad. It does kick a lot of ass. It is amazingly smooth and seems to last forever. I've had mine for 5 years and it looks pretty much the same as the day I got it. As for mice, I was told by someone while playing counterstrike about the ultimate mouse: the Logitec Mouseman Dual Optical Mouse. It was only 30 dollars and let me tell you, it's ridiculous. It came out during a time when 800 dpi were top of the line. In fact, it was the only mouse that had 2 of them! It was also about 20 bucks cheaper than most other mice with a single 800dpi sensor. It was discountinued not long after I purchased it, and there doesn't seem to be many of these mice floating around. It's shape is also really nice and seems perfect for most hands. It also has a conveniently located but hard to accidental actuate thumb button too. This mousepad/mouse combo has given me optimum performance ever since my high school gaming days. It has honestly spoiled me which explains my disdain for using any other computer for web browsing. I am getting better at using the keyboard for a lot of things, but web browsing seems to be designed around the concept of a mouse. I have tried vimperator, and it just didn't seem natural (not to mention certain mode-change oddities).
