Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Razer Exactmat with Exactrest Gaming Mouse Pad & Wrist Rest--Black
Customer Review: Smooth and accurate
Summary: 5 Stars
My experience with precision mouse pads designed for gaming is limited, but this is so far the best that I've used. Previously I used a RatPadz GS which was wearing out after several years of service. It was a great mouse pad, and I debated just buying another one, but I decided to try something else as the technology had advanced somewhat since I bought it. After reading the reviews, and especially after learning that the Exactmat is anodized aluminum instead of plastic and thus probably more durable, I made the decision to get one. I bought the package that also comes with the wrist rest. I purchased a Logitech G5 mouse at the same time, the new one with two thumb buttons. The combination of the two is excellent.
So far I've preferred to use the smoother side. I can't really tell the difference in accuracy between the two sides and the smoother side is quieter and easier to move the mouse on. It makes little noise. I've used a wrist rest for many years and the one that comes with the package is a good one. I especially like that the wrist rest is part of a larger neoprene pad that fits under the Exactmat so you don't have to worry about the wrist rest moving around. With my RatPadz, I used a small separate wrist rest and often had to move it back into place. The printed Razer logo is wearing off the wrist rest but it isn't affecting comfort. The trick with a wrist rest is to rest the heel of your palm on it, not your actual wrist as that can potentially damage the nerves and tendons. People with smaller hands, or those that like to use a lower mouse sensitivity and thus need to move the mouse further across the pad will probably want to use it without the wrist rest, at least when gaming.
This certainly isn't the least expensive mouse pad, and there are less expensive alternatives that will certainly serve you well. But if you are willing to spend a bit extra, I think the Exactmat is worth the price.

If you don't know this product or if you haven't try this mouse pad, maybe you all think that for 30 bucks you might want to get something more than just a mouse pad..
NO !! For $30 I would say that the mouse pad is NOT OVERPRICED!! I am very pleased with this product; this thing change my gaming habit completely and paired together with any kind of gaming mouse(or even a standard 800dpi mouse), this mouse pad will ease up your mouse movement especially in the game.
There are 2 sides that you can use with the mouse pad, the speed and the control side..I still prefer the control side and use higher DPI or sensitivity on your mouse, but sometimes people also found that the speed side is also very useful to play RTS or MMO games to gain more speed for the cursor and get to your target faster. The special coating makes your mouse moves smoothly across the mouse pad with full control and relatively higher speed. The feel that I get from this pad is very different compared to other gaming surfaces; this one really gives you full control and stable feeling. I've tried some other mouse pad but so far this one is still the best.
The wrist rest is also very useful if your mouse is positioned lower than standard(i.e. if your desk is too low). Some people found the wrist rest is useless, but not for me; I would say that this thing gives more comfort to your wrist and keep your hand from feeling tired after hours of intense mouse movements.
The only problem for me is the size; this thing is gigantic and it will eat your desk space...but that is also what makes this pad rocks, it has a very gigantic size and surely you get the freedom to move your mouse around easily without having to worry about reaching the edge of the mouse pad.
Overall, I am very pleased with this product and I hope that if you are going to buy this item, you could feel the same as well.
Hope this helps you! :p

I was pleasantly surprised when I unboxed my new Razer eXactMat, I originally ordered this this mouse "pad" because I received a $50 gift certificate for Amazon.com and the only thing that my gaming rig was lacking was an exceptional mouse pad. I didn't really see the point of using a mouse pad with a laser mouse, but since I needed to use my gift card, I thought I'd give it a shot. This mat is a beautifully crafted piece of aluminum with two anodized surfaces (front and back) for speed or control and it works exceptionally well for intense FPS gaming as well as casual web surfing, etc...
I have used this mat with a Logitech G5, MX1100, and VX Nano and it is a pleasure to use, not to mention the fact that it allows my G5 to really get the most out of the 2000dpi laser engine.
My only gripe is that the wrist rest that is included is, in my opinion, all but useless and it is far more comfortable to use to the mat w/o it.
(but the good news is that the rest is removable and throwaway-able)
In the end, this mat is unparalleled in its performance and the pros definitely out way the cons!

Customer Review: Great mousepad!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had to upgrade my mousepad to match my new g9x (wired laser mouse), and there are alot of options to choose from. I wasn't to sure on what to look for in a mousepad. But I was looking for a mousepad with a smooth/rough side and a durable one. I checked out quite a few of the mousepads here at amazon and got a few friends opinion on the mousepads I was interested in. So yeah I decided to give this pad a try.
So far so good, works great with my logitech mouse laser g9x (wired laser mouse), reads it well and registers. never had a problem with this combo yet. I use the smooth side the most.. for shooting games and for daily tasks. The rough side works well for precision but I can get as good precision with the smooth side as well. It comes with a rubber like wrist rest, which also keeps the mousepad in place. The wrist rest is like gel and is comfortable. It is metal which makes it loud if you drop it but seems to be durable for now. This mouse pad has plenty of room to work with compared to a standard size pad.
pros- great registry with g9x, plenty of space to work with, durable, both sides work great for its purpose (rough/smooth), comfortable wrist rest/useful to keep mouse pad in place( but not needed, optional), nice style.
cons- a little to big for my desk, misjudge the mousepad size... but not really a con since it gives me alot of mouse space.
Overall a great mousepad from my experience, if you plan on buying this mouse pad make sure your desk/area is big enough for it by checking the specs size/add a few extra inches to it if you want to use the wrist rest. A pretty good price for a great product.
Customer Review: Very Pleased w/Performance

I must admit I am not an avid gamer; I use a mouse primarily for photographic and office application. I prefer a comfortable accurate adjustable mouse interface. I found my newer Hi-Res Logitech MX1100 laser mouse suited my needs, but had far too much friction for my taste using the freebie cloth mouse pads I had been using. I tried the plastic variety and found them more pleasant.
My downfall was accepting the Amazon invitation of the Ricochet Xtreme game download. I found I was constantly losing the game when I ran off the edge of my normal size plastic mouse pad (even at high dpi resolution). I was therefore interested in a mouse pad with a bit more real estate than usual, as well as a low friction surface. The Razer Exactmat met the requirement, and the performance and comfort exceeded my expectations. My preference so far is the "Control" surface side which has just the right amount of friction for my taste and needs.
The gel wrist rest "Exactrest" is oversized and a comfort plus as well; it is not attached so can easily be removed if desired.
I was somewhat reluctant to order the Exactmat after reading several reviews where the aluminum interfered with wireless mice, and many even experienced problems with wired "laser" mice. I must admit I have experienced no problem in this regard, whatsoever. The MX1100 is a wireless laser mouse and performs perfectly with the Exactmat mouse pad.
