Glorious Extended Gaming Mouse Pad - Large Black Cloth Mouse Mat with Stitched Edges | 11x36 Inches | Perfect for PC, Laptop & Office Setup | Smooth Tracking for Gaming & Work

It's a nice high quality Matt. Thick and with it's large size will do a good job of protecting my new desk, however, it is not white. Not even really close to white, I'd describe it as a light grey. Attached is a photo of it against an actual white desk.It is a mouse pad. It's beneath my mouse and has done a great job of obviating a scene in my desk that had been annoying, which is the reason I got it.Its a solid mat. If you want a massive white mat this is the way.I do not normally leave product reviews, but this mouse pad and the company that makes it are so awesome that I felt it was my obligation to add to their small review count at the time of this post (17 reviews not including mine).Before I get into why I gave this product 5 stars anyone who is reading this review and is thinking "I don't know if I should buy this because I haven't heard of this company before" or "It looks good, but it only has a few reviews that is not statistically significant" then stop reading this or any other review, scroll up the page and buy this mouse pad. The quality for the price is just fantastic you can see quality stitching and the materials used to make the pad are not cheap knock offs like you would think. In fact I have used many other "gaming mouse pads" that claim to have superior fabrics, but all of them have fallen short of the quality of the material used to make this pad be it for gaming or just regular use. Oh and lets not forget that the other "gaming mouse pads" cost $10-15 more.I will start my review with a little about myself and what I use this mouse pad for to give you the idea of the punishment I put these things through in my quest to have fun. I play a lot of twitch shooters in fact I do it competitively with a clan (for those that do not know a clan in video games today is a collection of players who befriend one another and play team games together in a coordinated setting). Twitch shooters require constant fast motions with the mouse as I am pulling and pushing the mouse all over the pad extremely quickly in a very short period of time. As you can imagine that kind of repetitive motion creates a lot of friction and most mouse pads I have used become worn down rather quickly (within 2 weeks at best) which decreases the "glide" of the surface. The "glide" is very important to my aim in these games as if it changes or the surface becomes rougher my aim is then off by a bit which translates to me not twitching (twitching in a video game is the act of aiming and killing a target extremely quickly) as fast or hard as I would like because the surface has lost some of its "glide". This mouse pad has yet to lose its "glide" and in fact it hasn't even shown any signs of abuse despite the fact that I have abused it every night for the past 3 weeks which means it has lasted longer than any other mouse pad I have ever owned as far as maintaining its "glide" is concerned.For reference I have owned 3 Corsair mouse pads, 2 Razer mouse pads (including the Goliathus extended) and 5 cheap knockoffs (I tried to see if they were more cost effective, but they were not). An interesting fact about this mouse pad is that Corsair's mouse software for their M series mice actually rates this mouse pad surface a whole bar above their own pads. Meaning that Corsair software has openly admitted that this mouse pad has a better surface for their sensor then their own mouse pads! Having owned 3 Corsair mouse pads I agree with the software. Not to say that Corsair sells bad mouse pads, but that the equivalent mouse pad sold by them costs ~$17 more at the time of this review and yet preforms worse in every category when compared to this mouse pad.Here is a Pro's and Con's list because I love it when reviewers break it down into these they are easy to read and often very concise.Pro's1.) The logo is awesome.2.) The "glide" and surface quality is excellent and I dare say the best I have ever used.3.) The quality of the material and stitching is above and beyond what $20 will normally get you in today's market. I have used mouse pads that cost upwards of $40 and this mouse pad blows them out of the water.4.) It is washing machine friendly. Side note don't stick a mouse pad in the dryer its a terrible idea, just let it dry out in the sun or on a rack.5.) The seller contacted me after purchase to collect some data, make sure the product came on time and was not defective.6.) Seriously if you are reading this just go buy the mouse pad and stop worrying about your purchase you are in good hands.Con's1.) No real Con's other than the urge to buy more things from this company as soon as they are available.2.) The sudden and unexplainable urge to buy 2-4 more of their mouse pads just to stock up for the next 10 years.tl;dr- This product is of amazing quality and deserves your money. Trust.Quality and gliding feel Ara amazingI work in appliance repair in customer homes. The mouse pad makes a perfect tool Matt to keep customer countertops protected. Way better than any actual tool Matt out there. Nearly everyone at my company uses oversized mouse pads for this purpose.Some mousepads can be too slick, not allowing enough control. Others are too textured and rough, but this is that nice middle! So glad it’s extraordinary as buying an Artisan was my next move, but won’t be opting for that anymore! Thank you Glorious.Very good Mouse pad, I like the braid at the edge which helps with the corner of my desk to feel much better! Great purchase, I just purchased another as I felt I got my value out of it!It kept messing up my edits in fortnite1. This Is Not WhiteQuote from there online Help desk" Glorious Axe6:09 PM. Glorious Axe says:Hi, Thanks for reaching out.We do apologize for the inconvenience. Please note that Our white mousepad is more of an ash-gray it is more different in person than you can see on the screen."So they know its Ash Grey but still Sell it as WHITE theres the first issue2. Sold as 609mm x 355mm x 3mm (Box Sates 610mm x 356mm x 3mm) yet Phsically its 596mm wich is over a 1cm (13mm) now a 1 to 2 mm discrepency is acceptable but this simple is so far out its unreal.3. It may have a Rubber Base but its definatley is NOT as none slip as my older (cheap gaming matt) even after adding my Heavy Keyboard and Mouse.The quality of the surface is pretty good buts as you can see from my Picture it clashes so much with my setup its a Joke (FYI there own customer services as you can see did not even offer a refund or anything that was the extent of the conversation).Not worth it if you want a wrong sized, wrong colour Gaming Mouse mat if you need an Ash Grey one however with the dimensions i mentioned then your in Luck but please please dont buy it expecting it to be WHITE !!!!!!!!!!!For years I used a basic mouse pad by a brand I've never heard of because I thought it didn't make a difference. I then tried the steelseries QcK thick desk mat and very quickly the quality let me down, and I didn't notice a difference in tracking/speed. I use a glorious mouse already so I thought I'd try this mouse pad. Very pleased with my decision.I'm using the XL Heavy and it feels great. It's quite soft and spongy so good for tracking and control, but the material of the cloth is so smooth I can still get great speed. The stitching is soft and less irretating on my arm than the non-stitched QcK.Only negative point is that I find the rubber grip on the bottom to be a little slippy. It's yet to get in the way of my gaming but it is noticeable. Also it needs a bit of help laying perfectly flat after taking out the box, but it comes with tips on how to achieve this (place heavy books in top or use an iron etc)For the price, it's an absolute steal.I got this product to play video games at a higher level with friends etc. Let me be the first to say its absolutely perfect for what I want and the tracking is good. Its high quality and very big which is what I needed (in order to surf on csgo).This would be a 5 star review but the product I got sent firstly was the wrong product. I'm guessing this was just a genuine mistake but would have saved a lot of headache if I was sent the correct item in the first place. Customer support was very quick and thorough. After an investigation they sent me the correct item which arrived fine and in good condition.This is a really nice mat, for those of us who prefer mattress-sized models. It replaced a QcK Heavy which was also nice, but has a raw edge, which tends to get a bit curly and frayed- so the stitched edge on this is a nice little upgrade.The surface works well, I'm running a Glorious Model I on it (as it's one of the nicest options right now) and everything is smooth, fast and accurate.It's a nice mat, I'd buy another if I needed to.
