Razer Strider - Hybrid Mouse Mat with a Soft Base and Smooth Glide (Hybrid Soft/Hard Mat , Anti-slip Base, Anti-fraying Stitched Edges, Water-resistant) L | Black

I got this to replace my extremely old mousemat which was falling apart. I have the Razer Monitor and Speakers and love the subtle RGB look so this felt like it would fit in nicely, and it does.Some things I like about it include: The Razer software means you can have all your Razer product's lighting work in sync with one another. The mat feels like it's not going to move while on the desk, but is easy to lift up and clean. The attached cord is long enough (with room to spare) for my setup. The mouse sliding across the mat feels great. The matte black finish is pleasingly deep, like your keyboard and mouse are sitting on a black hole. It's generally a high quality finish and product, as you'd expect from Razer.My only downsides are the real life logistics, but might be worth considering before you purchase. First, as with any lighting effects that sit on your desk, they are essentially shining a spotlight on any dust that may accrue in the area - so adding this mat to your setup will increase the surface area of dust being noticeable. Secondly, if you have pets their fur is very obvious on the matte black finish. Both basically mean I'm doing more frequent little spot-cleans then I ordinarily would - so if that sort of thing will bug you, maybe it's worth considering before you commit to purchase. I've also got a different mouse and keyboard with RGB lighting, so these are out of sync with the Razer products. The lighting on them is subtle enough so it doesn't feel too out of place, but if you're obsessed with it being perfect, one more thing to consider if you have products from different manufacturers.Another minor issue is that the lighting effects default to a faster setting than the "Spectrum Cycling" that all my Razer products are set to. This means the the mat will be on a faster lighting setting until I've signed into Windows and the Razer software kicks in. For some reason this only happens on the mat, not my monitor and speakers - so perhaps some setting I haven't discovered yet.Aside from those minor gripes (most not the fault of the product itself) I'm loving it. It is expensive, but if you have the money and like this sort of thing, it's great.

Generously padded. Wipe this this with a micro fibre cloth and its as good as new - so easy to keep clean.Edge stitching is excellent and lays flat straight from the box.The quality is obvious.The only downside is there is some friction using a mouse but as I dont use a seperate mouse mat its proven to be good enough for most tasks.

Finally i've found a mousepad that doesn't get as dirty as regular fabric mats, this one is exactly what i needed after going through HyperX mats and other off brand ones. This hybrid razer thing they claim to have on this mat is exactly how a mouse mat is supposed to be, in my opinion. Having a high speed and low friction is what you should look for in a mouse mat, Tournament players are moving towards these specs, with some of them even going for Glass mouse pads. On fabric mats, if your hand meets the surface, it will break your movement. in competitive situations, having that happen is a lost match.There is a review on this product in italian that says the opposite, but i'd wager that person has never played an fps game competitively. He said "the mouse slides far too much over it" and "it is better to go on mats already known in the competitive field" and this "advice" is outrageous. Not only this exact type of mouse mat is well known in the competitive field, but nowadays tourney players are starting to use Glass mouse mats, and hard mouse mats as well.In any case, this mat fulfils my needs for both a soft and hard mouse mad, having a hydrophobic and low friction surface perfect for, yes indeed, High CONTROL and Speed.If you think it's weird you haven't actually tried it for an extended period of time, i recommend using this for longer than a day and getting used to it will yield great results.I mean, not to even mention it's, again, hydrophobic! which instantly beats other mouse mats that get dirty easily...My only gripe is it's not big enough from top to bottom, even the extra large one is not tall enough for me. but i can manage anyway, since it has improved my mouse performance and control by a mile.

The mat is great, comfort is nice and it’s a great large size.The only slight down side and it’s not too bad, the RGB lighting isn’t very visible during the day.The 19 lighting zones is a great feature as my previous Steel Series mat had 2 lighting zones and after about 18months the lighting was bearly visible, hence me buying this one..The cost is a bit steep for a mat.

Ultra nice quality mouse pad, feels great and works awesome with my mouse. It covers the majority of my desk too which was the main aim when buying a mouse pad for me.If on the edge about XXL mouse pads I’d say pay the extra for the razer strider, you won’t be disappointed (if you are you can blame me!)

This may be quite expensive, but you get what you pay for. I have the Deathadder V3 Pro and this thing makes it glide effortlessly. Great for FPS and for everyday working. It's easy to keep clean and doesn't move on the desk. Wish I'd bought one instead of a cheaper one in the past! Highly recommended...
