Mouse Pads / Mouse

I currently own a Roccat Sota mouse pad and a Razer Deathadder, now i am perfectly happy with the Deathadder, although at some point, i will have to upgrade to the new 2013 version as it seems to address the one and only issue i had with the old one, no side grips, plus it has a new more powerful sensor of i think 8200dpi.

Although lately i was lowering my dpi gradually for a smoother feel as suggested by a pro gamer, felt like it was working when i was lowering it bit by bit, but am quite happy atmo with 3000dpi, down from 3500, but yea, the new mouse will be something i will try out, though the led's are green, but meh, my hand will cover that anyway, so i am looking forward to testing that out, but this isnt why i posted, my current mouse pad has had its wear from a few year of use and its bubbled and apart from that, the surface is fine, u can see dust on it from a mile away, but its fine, its granular so its somewhat hard and easy to slide across, which i like, i have never liked clothed mouse matts as they always felt, restrictive to me moving quickly, but in an attempt to improve consistancy with accuracy i decided to buy a steel series qck+, now its bigger than i need but its apparently one of the best cloth matts out there, so if that fails then i will just rebuy a new roccat sota.

So i was wondering, what do the people of extremus own themselfs as far as mouse matts and mice go, and what would they recommend out of their own experience in regards to the products as well as my believed knowledged of lower dpi/high sense to be a better choice for mouse accuracy, instead of high dpi/low sense, which is what i used to have, though in source i had high dpi and high sense, so its gone from 3500dpi @ 8 sense to 3000 @ 2.5, so quite a dramatic change.

All the pro's seem to use around 1000dpi and between 1-3 sense, so i always wondered why, when i always used high dpi and higher sense, until now, so if anyone has an actual educated answer, would love to clarify that.
