10 Best Gaming Mouse Pads

The main difference of the SteelSeries QcK Prism mat from others is the presence of RGB backlighting in a circle, which has 12 control zones with individual settings. Also, the mat supports GameSense technology, due to which the backlight can play the role of an indicator of game events. For example, display the level of health, the amount of money and ammo, and so on. The rug has a fabric working pad measuring 270x320 mm, the thickness does not exceed 4 mm. The backing is made of rubberized material that fits snugly on the table and does not allow the mat to move during the game. The base is quite rigid, so the model will be comfortable on uneven surfaces.Of the noticeable shortcomings noted in the reviews, we highlight the claims to the increased roughness of the working surface of the mat, which reduces the quality of the mouse glide.

The thinnest gaming mat from the titans in the production of gaming accessories. Designed for those who prefer speed in driving. The surface of the plastic mat deserves all the praise: it is so smooth that the sliding becomes almost perfect, fast and comfortable. At the same time, the quality of tracking will not suffer: laser and optical mice will behave adequately and respond to the slightest movement. But without phantom movements or cursor jumps when changing colors. In the reviews, gamers note: the mat is perfect, but wears out over time, which causes the speed to drop by a few percent. This is the thinnest of all professional esports mats in our ranking. Its thickness is only half a millimeter! So it will feel almost like a piece of paper.In no case should the rug be bent or folded: the thinnest polycarbonate surface will not survive this. Fastens on a table thanks to a reusable adhesive layer. Because of this, you will have to thoroughly wash and dry the table before placing the mat on it, otherwise the layer will be damaged.

This is both a mouse pad and a wireless inductive charging system, which allows you to forget about recharging the manipulator forever, since it will be charged even during the game. The kit includes a special PowerCore device in the form of a small round pancake, which must be inserted into the mouse instead of the load inside. Alas, so far this charging system is only suitable for some models of Logitech mice: G703 and G903. But it is possible that new mice with support for this technology will appear in the near future. Manipulators of third-party firms, of course, are not supported. The pad itself is quite suitable for professional gamers. The kit includes two surfaces for the inductive base: fabric and plastic.Each performs its own function: fabric is better for control, and plastic is better for high-speed movements. In addition to wireless charging, the pad boasts the Lightspeed system: this technology allows you to connect wireless mice to your computer without installing a special radio connector, as if connecting them through the pad. There is only one drawback: the carpet is only suitable for use with specific mouse models. For everyone else, it is unreasonable to buy it: just throw money away.

A gaming mat designed for those who love precise control and comfort when playing. It is suitable for any mouse as it provides a smooth glide without any loss in reading quality. The fabric is woven from small "pigtails" that allow the mouse to glide evenly in all directions. The mouse pad is soft, porous, made of polyurethane foam. Its characteristics are such that it allows you to comfortably use the mat on any surface: it will not go anywhere, no matter how actively you play. The pad itself is very soft, so it is comfortable for the hand to lie on it.The model is ideal for shooters like CS GO, but requires considerable skill. Not suitable for every gamer, because it does not provide high speed of movement, like the classic "high-speed" rugs. On the other hand, with this model, you can really control every pixel, so no opponent will leave without a headshot. Of the shortcomings, the most unpleasant is the rapid erasure of the surface (7-8 months) and increased soiling, so you have to regularly clean the rug, which only speeds up the process of damage to the work surface.

Quite an old model, not losing relevance to this day. The surface is fabric, but very smooth and somewhat reminiscent of soft plastic. Due to this, the mat can be attributed to the speed-option, since it is designed specifically for high-speed movements. However, with proper skill, the controllability of the mouse will not suffer. The model is more suitable for lovers of low dpi, and not at all because of the size (although the dimensions of 400x460x3 mm allow): the surface is designed for sweeping movements. The edges of the fabric rug are not stitched, and this has both pluses and minuses. The downside is that over time, the edges will begin to inexorably fray and exfoliate.On the other hand, until this happens, it is very pleasant to work on the mat: the hand does not feel the standard elevation. In the reviews, people praise the rug, although they write that for such money it should be somewhat better.

The model is able to cover the need of any gamer for a comfortable and high-quality mouse pad. Easily suitable for esports disciplines or everyday activities. The surface of the rug is moderately smooth, but at the same time quite fleecy. This improves the accuracy of each mouse movement without much drop in movement speed. The mouse does not stick, moves softly and smoothly, but fast enough and manageable. The rubber backing of the rug is non-standard: it is not solid, but consists of separate rough islands that fit snugly against the table surface and do not allow the model to move. There is a thin stitching along the edge of the rug, which does not allow the surface to fray. If you have delicate skin on your hands, then you will have to get used to it for a long time: the fabric is rough, and the firmware sticks out a little above the surface. In the reviews, gamers actively praise the mat for its convenience and quality.Many write that the model is ideal for shooters, especially in conjunction with a laser mouse.

The esports brand Razer offers a very interesting model for those who like to play with gadget lighting synchronization. This mat has the best options for fine-tuning the glow and various Razer Chroma effects available in proprietary software. Another important advantage is the unique working surface with a special microtexture similar to a hybrid of plastic and fabric, which ensures both the ease of sliding mice and the highest positioning accuracy of optical or laser sensors. As a bonus, a compact rodent cable clip is offered, but it is the most effective way to keep wires away from Razer's manipulators. In customer reviews, the high quality of the working surface, the ease of cleaning it and the reliable grip on the rubberized base table are noted.

This rug is unlikely to appeal to professionals, as it is not ideal, although it has a bunch of useful qualities. Firstly, the fabric surface is quite rough, which gives good controllability, but at the same time smooth enough to provide good mouse movement speed. We can say that this mat is a cross between control and speed. Secondly, a high-quality rubber backing does not slip at all during the game, but at the same time it does not firmly stick to the table and it is easy to move it if necessary. Thirdly, the mat has edges stitched with high quality red thread, which makes it durable. Such a cheap carpet was not without flaws. Firstly, it has a thickening around the edges, so you have to get used to it and possibly rub your wrist. The fabric surface itself is porous, which is why it gets very dirty. In general, the model is successful, but not ideal, and earns a high rating mainly due to accessibility.

This is not just some kind of mouse pad, it's a whole deskpad 90 centimeters long, which can accommodate a mouse, a keyboard, and something else if desired. The carpet covering is made of water-repellent Cordura Lite fabric: ASUS developers were the first to decide on a similar experiment with jacket fabric, which is used to sew clothes for travelers. The result pleased: it turned out to be an extremely strong and durable rug, resistant to dirt and abrasion. The peculiarity of the Cordura fabric is that, with a rather strong texture (which is typical for control carpets), it provides a high glide speed for the mouse. So you can call this pad something of a hybrid that suits a variety of games and gamers with different play styles. The dimensions of the rug are impressive: 900x400x3 mm. The model turned out to be thin and almost imperceptible to the hand: even stitching along the edge does not add discomfort. The rubber base is soft and high quality - thanks to it, the rug will not move even a millimeter. The model straightens up quickly after being boxed, so you don't have to put it under a press or wait until it's straight.

Stylish and affordable gaming mouse pad, made in medium size and with a special fabric with an increased smoothness of the surface. This ensures excellent glide without loss of positioning accuracy of any type of optical sensor. The basis of the rug is a rubberized composition that sticks to the table with high quality. A strong stitching has been added along the contour to prevent fraying of the edges, so there will be no problems with durability. As a result, we get an almost perfect price-quality ratio for the segment of gaming mats. The only tangible drawback identified by users is the seam of the edge stitching that protrudes slightly above the surface, which can contribute to chafing the wrist.
