The Ozone TRACE definitely gave a sensation of faster movement. With such a smooth texture, my Razer DeathAdder slid almost too freely on the surface of the pad. Having commonly used standard cloth pads, it took a bit of adjustment to get used to the difference in surface texture, though it was a very nice change nonetheless - moving the mouse just seemed so effortless on the TRACE. The Skaggs in Borderlands didn't see what was coming to them.
