Razer Atlas Tempered Glass Gaming Mouse Mat: Ultra-Smooth Micro-Etched Surface - Dirt and Scratch-Resistant - Anti-Slip Base - Quiet Mouse Movements - White

I'm not a huge Razer fan, but somehow I've wound up with several of their peripherals. I suppose they're one of the few companies making above average gear in white, which is basically its own looney tunes cult at this point. Of the items I own, the DAv3 mouse has a systemic build issue wherein the sides eventually loosen, and it makes a creaking noise like the ghost from The Grudge when you grip it. The Blackshark V2 Pro is held together by 5mm rods that will eventually snap on you, and you'll be sad. The Synapse software is clunky at best, and doesn't even warn you when items are running out of batteries when you're gaming, or when firmware upgrades exist. Their warranties are vague and intentionally difficult to redeem, despite inherent design and build deficiencies. That is to say, as a company, Razer hasn't been super great to me.Enter this beautiful beast. I have had a hard time finding a mouse pad I liked. I've gone through a dozen in the past 6 months. Either they track poorly, scuff easily, are nasty on the wrist, or there is some other disappointing feature. I am a mediocre gamer; certainly not a $100 mousepad e-sports athlete. But this thing makes me feel like a rank 1 super genius. That's not to say that it's improved my abilities or made me a better player, but it has made me FEEL like one.This elegant beauty is a sheet of white tempered glass. Despite Amazon's every attempt to shatter it during transport by placing it in the same box as a 30lb bag of dog food, this came "Used - Very Good" looking like the first marshmallow snowfall in Candyland in 340 years. When used, its pristine surface feels like you are ice skating right after the zamboni has rendered the surface crisp yet slightly tacky, even though you've never been ice skating before, and you normally have the balance of a drunken bonobo. It makes a swishing noise that resembles a young Brian Boitano hitting a triple jump, full of hope and wonder.The branding is subtle but not unappealing. It looks downright sexy next to the matching white Deathadder. Its behemoth footprint may seem unreasonable-- nay even gaudy, at first. But then you realize that real esports pads have been this large since the days of yore, when Artisan and Lethal Gaming Gear were still twinkles in their overpriced yet luxurious mousepad daddy's eyes. And, if you aren't talented enough to make use of the full surface, it can proffer a really nice place to store your bowl of cereal next to your mouse while you get "just one more capture in Palworld, Mom."Let's talk about the weight of this glorious thing for a second. It's heavy. You could probably bludgeon a burglar with it successfully, despite having not exercised since your sophomore year of high school, when you determined Fortnite was more important than hygiene or ever moving your body again. Even better, it won't move a millimeter as you flail your mouse hand around trying to emulate "Flash APM" in Starcraft. It also doesn't seem to show much of my transferred wrist sludge, which is really fortunate. When there is a bit of gunk, it's super easy to clean, unlike most cloth or alternative "not as cool" materials they use to make those other boring mouse pads out of.Overall, I am extremely happy with this purchase. I went in expecting about a 75% chance of returning it. That rate has plummeted to 0%, and I may just have to show it off and try to rationalize it to the 0-2 people in my life that would actually understand such a vanity purchase. This is a fair warning to all other mouse pads: you are on notice; either evolve, or die.

This is really nice, the perfect amount of grip/friction. Much smoother than the metal pad I've been using, but not so smooth my mouse twitches in FPS games. The size, weight and pad underneath keep it locked in place on the desk.

I’ve been using traditional mats / pads forever. Recently a buddy of mine switched to glass and absolutely raved about it. I decided to to see if there was really as much of a difference as claimed and I can say there 100% is. Tracking is amazing and the fluid motion is perfect. Whatever kind of micro coating Razer uses on the glass if absolutely fantastic. It’s super slick and allows for dead perfect aiming very easily in FPS games.The one thing I didn’t realize when I ordered it was house massive this mouse pad is. I guess I overlooked it but it is BIG and will take up a ton of real estate on your desk. I had to rearrange my whole setup to get it to fit. I wish they made this pad in exactly the same material but about 1/2 the size. I’m a wrist player so I literally only use about 1/4 of the area that this pad provides. But, that also means I have extra insurance that I’ll never be accidentally going off the pad while gaming.Glad I made this purchase, you will be too!

This is -the- end game mouse pad.I literally bought it as a joke with full intentions on returning it. No way I'd ever spend $100 on a mouse pad, that's ridiculous. It feels like I'm dancing with people when playing FPS.I saw how big it was and was taken back. Okay, maybe that's why it's so expensive.Once I started using it, I realized why it was that much.I also have a glass textured "mouse pad" that is quite big, but not as big, that was $45. Look up "Vance Industries Frosted Grand Elite Mousepad review" on Overclock.net that I bought in 2014. My point is I've been a mouse pad nerd for over a decade lol.I also have a Razer Destructor 2 ($60), Manticor ($60), as well as dozens of cloth pads and various plastic pads, including CS Hyde. Also have a few aluminum pads. Never got into any Artisan cloth pads, but I think I know my stuff.Alright. So this thing is massive--which I like. It's also very soft with a fine texture. It's obviously going to wear away at your mouse feet. What's weird is, as the feet break in, they get smoother. It's like a new set of brake pads mating to rotors. I mean, we're talking about subjective feeling too. What I might like, you may not. It has very good static friction where is doesn't feel like your mouse is sticking, but it also has decent dynamic friction where you don't feel like you're playing on an air hockey table. It's beautiful, has a nice anti-slide backing, and doesn't feel cold like some aluminum pads can.All I have to say is that as long as you don't break this thing, it's going to last the rest of your life and then some.

In terms of feel, this is the best mouse pad I own. I use one for my work PC, the other for gaming. Going from and cloth/plastic pad to the glass pad you feel the difference in terms of friction. It is almost like going from an old-ball mouse, to an optical mouse, or a wired mouse to wireless. It gives you a similar jump in responsiveness. Also tends to attract less debris. Enough so I would steal the pad from each PC when it came time to switch; so I bought two.The only downside (and the reason I knocked off a star) is the size. I thought other mouse pads were large. This one laughs at those. I use maybe one quarter of the pad. Not sure how someone would comfortably use the whole thing. It would be nice if Razer could offer the same concept at 60% of the height, width, and thickness -- roughly the same size as the Logitech PowerPlay mouse pad (cough no reason cough).
