Glorious Mouse Mat/Pad - Large, Wide (XXL Extended) Black Cloth Mousepad, Stitched Edges | 18inx36in (G-XXL)

Introduction Everyone has heard of SteelSeries, Razer, Puretrak, Thermaltake, etc. Not many people have heard of Glorious PC Gaming Race. I know I never did until I stumbled upon a mouse pad I thought would be perfect for myself. It was ginormous, stitched edges, all black, and super cheap. I ordered one. It turned out to be epic, and I don't mean better-than-the-rest epic, I mean better-than-the-rest-and-I-won't-buy-another-mouse-pad epic. The best part of the whole deal was being able to talk to them and communicate my thoughts and expressions directly, it was something I've never been able to do, except with ZOWIE for a short period of time. Anyway, back to the mouse pad, it comes in five different sizes Large (13x11"), Extra Large (18x16" 3mm), Extra Large Heavy (18x16" 6mm), Extended (36x11"), and XXL Extended (36x18"). So many options. Review I'll be honest, when I ordered one of their mouse pads, I wasn't expecting much. I ordered a XL Heavy, since I loved using a QcK+ Heavy. I've used almost every mouse pad on the market, and I usually always go back to a QcK. However, I can assure you that is not the case anymore. With the Glorious PC Gaming Race mouse pads you get a medium-low friction with a semi smooth surface. It's fantastic for all sensitivities, but probably favors low and medium over high. If you used a high sensitivity, you probably wouldn't have much control over your mouse. For this review I've used a SteelSeries Kinzu v1, Kinzu v2, and Logitech G302. I do not test mouse pads with laser sensors, they are not nearly as picky as optical. I can say with 100% confidence that the fabric used for these mouse pads does not affect the performance or hinder an optical sensor in any way. The G302 has a great sensor, so I expected that to be good. However, with my SteelSeries Kinzu v3 it had trouble tracking on a QcK at high speeds, and another one as well. Both were all black, so I thought it was the sensor. I tried it on the Glorious PC Gaming Race mouse pads and it seemed to have improved a lot. Another fantastic thing about these mouse pads is the rubber backing. It's thick, but not too thick. It does not slide at all, though I have a standard desk with no anomalies. Overall, the Glorious PC Gaming Race mouse pads have been amazing to me. I have used them for nearly two weeks and have not once had a single defect or issue yet. I've went between many different sizes and options, and I seemed to have fell in love with the XXL Extended version. It's big enough for my monitor, keyboard, and mouse. I will never run out of space, and it allows me to play the way I need to and feel the most comfortable at the same time. Conclusion If you're looking for a mouse pad, and need a specific size, or want to try something totally new, get one of these Glorious PC Gaming Race mouse pads. They have a size for everyone, and they perform as good, if not better, than the competition. I can't think of a single cloth mouse pad that performs better than these, especially a QcK or a Razer Goliath. The kicker to all of this is their price, it's completely insane for the quality that you're getting. As of this article, the most expensive option is $22. A similarly spec'd mouse pad from another company would be $30-40 easily, and you wouldn't get stitched edges. Pick one of these up today!

Perfect. Beautiful. Glorious. The XXL Extended version is VERY large. This fits my Razer Blackwidow and Death Adder very well (the 36" in (horizontal) -length give me a solid 7" or more extra to move both my mouse and keyboard around to fit where I need them, horizontally). Now the vertical length is quite a lot. With 18" vertically, I put my keyboard and mouse near the top 2", and use the rest as work room/resting space for my arms. It does feel a LOT different than your desk will, and it'll take about an hour to get used to, but once you do you'll realize what you've been missing out on. If you use your desk to write on often or don't want to change the surface of your desk, I would not recommend getting the XXL Extended, but rather the standard Extended version, as it is 7" shorter on that vertical length, and will solely fit your keyboard and mouse on there without interfering with your whole desk space. Other than that, the material is very soft and seems durable, and the grip of the mat itself stays to the desk quite well. Even though it is shipped in a roll, it rolls out onto the desk and barely has an issue staying flat on my desk. There are no traction issues with my mouse, and this mat just looks sleek af on your desk. http://i.imgur.com/S31dNaU.jpg (You can slightly see the roll on the left side, this only lasted two days) OVERALL: 9.5/10 Not perfect, but goddammit it's as close as you're gonna get. No matter what.

Serious part - HUGE mouse pad covering both my keyboard with 10 Key, leaving plenty of room for my mouse to glide. Keeps stuff from slipping on a hardwood desktop, and add some nice cushioning to the overall experience. Not too thick, just right. I would purchase another one if someone were to take this one, and it seems very durable and should do well for quite a while. Very nice small silk screened logo on the pad. Obviously good customer support and desire to do the right thing. Always a positive. Strongly recommend. Not quite so serious part - Not only did this mouse pad improve my life, by being very big and mousepaddy. I suddenly regrew all of my hair, and it's very wavy (Fabio like almost). It seems to have improved my very computer with it's epic coolness and the Glorious PC logo. My frame rates have increased as if I added 2, maybe 3 Titans in SLI, and overclocked them Easily 300 FPS in ultra mode. My proc temperatures have plummeted, and I can actually get 8.9 GHz out of my 4970K. After logging in to Battlefield, every single shot I took resulted in 3 kills, at least. Lastly, Bethesda called and said they were sorry, but my free early release copy of Fallout 4 was late, and even though it would arrive tomorrow, would I accept a fully functional PipBoy 3000 as an apology? I accepted when they added in a NukaCola Quantum. As an aside, I'm not quite sure it's related, but really pretty girls have started randomly walking up to me and kissing me, saying something about how sexy a Glorious Gamer is... My Fiance is not so happy about that. I suppose there are always give and takes in life. Praise GabeN
