Besides the size, the most important thing to consider when choosing a mousepad is the composition or material. Mousepads are primarily made of cloth or thin plastic, but they can also be soft or hard, the latter made out of a tough ABS plastic material. Soft mouse pads can be rolled up and stored away when they’re not in use, although you wouldn’t normally do this unless you use it with a laptop or on-the-go configuration. Hard mousepads are meant to be static but are also more durable which is preferable for hyper-fast and rough movements.
The surface texture plays a role in how well the mouse responds to your movements, especially in a low DPI setting. You want the surface to be smooth yet slightly textured to provide enough traction for the mouse, so it’s not sliding all over the place. At the same time, you want to be able to move the mouse freely and with ease, without it catching on the surface. The texture and material will also determine how easy the mousepad is to clean, if you spill a drink or crumbs on it, for example. Many plastic, PU leather, or hard cloth mouse pads offer liquid protection of some kind, preventing whatever the fluid is from soaking into the bottom layers of the pad.
Finally, consider the design of the mousepad. Does it have a cool logo or pattern on the surface that matches your office or room decor? Does it come with RGB lighting, and is it customizable? Is it in the shape of a large square, or an extended rectangle, and which do you prefer?
If you’re not sure what kind of design or style you want, we recommend taking a look at a few options before making a decision. See what resonates with your interests, and what would look good on your desk, or in your gaming area.
A: A large or standard mousepad is no different than one labeled a “gaming” mousepad. A mousepad is a mousepad. However, typically, gaming mousepads come with additional features or specifications that are tailored to hardcore gamers. For example, they’re larger to offer more freedom of movement for the mouse, and your mouse hand. They might also be made of a unique material, or have a unique surface texture, that improves accuracy and reduces slippage. Other times, gaming mousepads might include RGB lighting accents, or multicolored LED lighting, which is often customizable — meaning you can adjust lighting patterns, colors, and more.
A: The larger the mousepad the more surface area you have to move the mouse around. One of the best ways to decide the size of your mousepad is to consider how much space you have on your desk. But also, the DPI and sensitivity setting of your mouse, which is a big concern for gaming — especially in FPS games — can help you decide on mousepad size. A low DPI setting gives you better movement control and precision, which is important when you’re playing FPS games like Call of Duty, Fortnite, and Overwatch. It also means that you need to make larger, sweeping movements with your mouse to interact with the game controls, therefore you’ll need a larger mousepad and playing area. At a high DPI setting, even minuscule movements can move your cursor quickly, and across a great distance onscreen. These mouse settings tend to be preferred when playing MMOs, MOBAs, RTS titles, and sometimes action RPGs. You also don’t need as much room to work with, so a smaller mousepad is okay to use. In the end, it’s entirely up to you and what you prefer, but we certainly recommend going with a large or extra-large mousepad, just to have the extra room.
A: An RGB mousepad, or gaming mousepad, is one equipped with RGB and LED lighting accents. Sometimes, it’s in the form of a thin strip on the edges of the mousepad. For others, it’s an illuminated logo, pattern, or design. There are a few types of RGB, but most can be classified as either customizable or non-customizable. With the customizable kind, you can change various settings like the color, brightness, and patterns — with which they change or move. With non-customizable, you have less control over what the lights do and how they look, and they’re typically confined to a single color, pattern, or style.
