Top 5 best gaming mousepads

Experienced gamers know that no matter how cool and expensive a mouse is, the whole game can be ruined by the wrong - unsuitable for the style of play or a particular mouse pad. First of all we need to talk briefly about what gaming mats should be and what they are.

Mousepad for gaming must be fabric on a thick enough (3-4 mm) non-slip rubber base. The bigger is its size, the more comfortable is the mat, because it will not hinder the mouse movements. Covering, which prevents fraying of edges, should be made of soft silk thread, so as not to chafe your wrist.

Besides, there are two main types of surface: Speed and Control. Speed type mats are smoother and more slippery, they are suitable for most common players who play on medium and high sensitivity (800 DPI and more) and mice with Teflon feet.

Control pads are rougher, the mouse moves on them with more force, they are more suitable for gamers who like to play online shooters on low sensitivity (400-600 DPI), and mice with slippery aluminum feet, for which A4Tech Bloody gaming pads are ideal. Next, we'll take a look at the most successful and popular gaming pads from expensive to cheaper.

The unusual green rubber backing has no extraneous odors. There is a large selection of mouse pads in different sizes, with surfaces like Speed and Control. All in all, it's the best choice on the market, but it's also one of the highest priced. Some people may also not like the lack of color choices - they are all manufactured in black and green.

To be fair, Razer has other, but less successful and more expensive mats. For example, the Gigantus series has only large models.
