Customer Review: Expensive but true-to-description
Summary: 5 Stars
This is expensive but works as advertised. The coated aluminum surface provides a low-noise, low-friction surface that works beautifully with my cordless Logitech MX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse (Black). The mousing surface is a single piece of metal, with no joints.
The removable gel wrist-rest is cushy for long sessions, I found the level of support with it just right.
The speed surface does seem to facilitate rapid movement and the control side feels "crisp" to use. Now I can only blame my lack of reflexes (or the latency lag!) when I do poorly in COD4. :-)
I noticed several reviewers saying this mousepad doesn't work with cordless mice; it is true that a solid piece of aluminum will block RF very effectively (no surprise!), but this only matters if the mousepad sits between your mouse and its receiver. My USB Logitech receiver is plugged into a USB hub at the same level as the mouse (ie, on the desk), and with this configuration I didn't notice any problems at all during several hours of intense usage.
This is the most expensive mousepad I've ever bought, but it's a nice boost for those of us who game regularly. Recommended.
Customer Review: Great Mouse Pad (at a discount)!
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is great for a gamer or anyone who does a lot of digital editing. Being dual sided, the speed side is good for quick movements over large fields, such as in FPS games, and the control side is good for minute detail, like pixel work in photoshop.
There are some drawbacks though. I have found that a few of my mice are not compatible with the pad. My logitech G7 cordless was not compatible with the speed side, it would not register movement at all. It worked on the control side though. My logitech VX and MX mice do work well on both sides though, and I prefer the speed side.
The large size makes it take a lot of desk space, so plan ahead. Also, since the size is so large, it makes flipping the pad over constantly a chore. So most of the time you will choose a side and stick with it until you have to use the other side. It does have rubber feet on all corners of the pad which raise it a centimeter off of the desk, so you can run headphone wires and such below the pad.
At the suggested retail price, I would not recommend purchasing it. There are other pads (by razer) that are single sided- and have different size configurations- for a lower price. But, if you can get it at a discount like I did from Amazon, then it is well worth it.
Customer Review: GAMING mousepad?! ...wow!
Summary: 5 Stars
So I've owned this thing for almost a year now... and I have to say, I would never have thought I would buy one of these in the first place, much less appreciate it greatly. I prefer the smooth side over the rough side of the thing, simply because I like the glide of my mouse over it. It's sturdy and doesn't wear down because your hand is resting on it and the oils and sweat are attacking it. I did not like the gel wrist-rest that came with it though, it felt like it was promoting carpal tunnel syndrome. It is easily cast aside and stored away in a drawer for later use if you want it though! It sits very flat against the desk, even thinner than your standard foamy rubber mousepad, which makes it almost seem like it's not there! Once in a while I get some weird gunk built up on top of it, which is easily cleaned off with a warm cloth, or your fingernail if you want... and it doesn't even scratch it! It has small rubber feet on both sides, so if you're not using the wrist-rest, it shouldn't slide around on whatever surface it's on unless it's really dusty. Will it increase your gaming performance? Probably not to a scientifically measureable degree, but it sure is comfortable and gives you plenty of space to move your mouse around!Customer Review: A bit Pricey But Worth It
Summary: 5 Stars
The Razer ExactMat is huge. It's just over 1' x 1' (16'' x 13'' if I am correct), normal pads run around 6'' x 1'. Apart from being huge this pad comes with the feature of dual sides. At first I thought this gimmicky at the least. After I flipped the pad over and tried the other side that feeling left me. Both sides are constructed to the same degree of quality. The small four rubber feet, something I thought would never have a chance to stop this beast from moving did it flawlessly. In heavy gaming (53-man Free-For-All at Shipment in COD4)it stood up to me shoving mouse around quickly and jamming my palm into the bottom of the pad with no movement. The speed pad is very smooth and will allow slightly quicker mousing. The control side has small rough dimples that don't ruin your mouse's feet but do slow it up a bit. The ExactRest that comes packaged with the pad can get somewhat annoying. I like to have my hand close to my desk, so that I click with my fingertips. The rest doesn't really collapse with your hand but it is somewhat comfortable and it's very sturdy. Overall the construction of this pad, from the plastic/metal surfaces to the rubber feet was worth every cent I paid and I feel I am getting what I wanted. Recommended.Customer Review: Best mouse pad ever...
Summary: 5 Stars
Not to go too heavy, after all, it is just a mouse pad, but....
I bought both my new mouse (Logitech MX Revolution) and this mouse pad about a month ago and absolutely love them both. Historically, I had just used any generic mousepad and that was that. But having read so many wonderful things about this one, I thought, why not, it's just money, right? As it says, this is a metal mouse pad, not your normal "padded" one. It also is reversible, with a speed side and a control side. I found the speed side a little too fast for my liking, so therefore, I haven't used that side much. It's very smooth and the mouse just cruises over it, smooth as butter. The control side has more of a textured feel to it and while it has more of a rough surface, it's not 'rough' nor do you feel it while moving your mouse around. It also comes with a wrist wrest whose base sits under the mousepad itself and is firm, but comfortable.
For anyone who has ever used just 'any old mousepad' in the past, I challenge you to try this and, imo, you'll find that it's well worth the money. I highly recommend this product.
