Mouse pads are a serious part of professional gaming these days. Some people spend up to $50US just on a mouse pad. I have tired many mouse pads ranging from the famous ‘Func' to white A4 pieces of paper. Today I have Glidetape's Glidepads in both sizes, Big and Small.
Features:
Big Glide Pad
Length = 30.5 cm
Width = 24 cm
Thickness = 1.5 mm
Small Glide Pad
Length = 23cm
Width = 19 cm
Thickness = 1.5mm
First I'll start off with the bottom of the pad. It's a nice soft "sticky" plastic-rubber combination that once laid down and applied a little pressure to sticks its self to the surface and doesn't move unless you lift it.
The top surface is made from a soft but rigid plastic in conjunction with Glidetapes (Glidetapes are a product manufactured by Glidetapes, which are stuck on the mouse's base to reduce friction), "Glidetapes" are a perfect match for the smoothest gliding from left to right or doing quick flicks in games for the perfect headshot.
I tested this pad using my Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical with the Glidetape's "Glidetapes" using both the big and small mouse pads. I first attached the glidetaps to the feet of my mouse and reconfigured the sensitivity in windows and games. I then went and had some fun playing some multiplayer games. I noticed after a few days I have become used to the new surface and improved in my gaming drastically.
While playing with this big pad, the only bad aspect that I noticed was that it starting to fray around the edges. While using the small one I noticed that the pad was a bit too small for my sensitivity and my mouse was getting caught on the edges. Apart from those two problems, these mouse pads are excellent.
The mouse pads are a great addition to your PC and for the professional hardcore gamer.
Pros:
- Quiet
- Big pad has large surfaces
- Smooth surface
Cons:
- Small pad too small
