Remember a few generations ago when civilization thought it had arrived once there were flying cars and lasers all over the place? Well I’m still waiting on my H.P. Hovercraft, but laser technology is so common that it’s in just about everything, including computer mice. The use of a laser sensor (or two) is used [...]

Ulti-Mat Breathe F-X3 Oversized Cloth Mousepad Review
Nearly a decade ago, Tony Montana and computer mice had one thing in common: they were judged by the quality of their balls. Thicker, heavier balls were better at tracking on your desk, but most people had to use cloth mousepads to get the most grip out of their mice. Since the dawn of optical [...]
Nova Killer 2 Mousepad Review
I sometimes sit at my desk and think to myself, “I have way too much space here”. But what can I do about it? I guess I could stick a Tiki doll there for a little good luck. Set up a shrine to Carmen Electra? And then it came to me. A mousepad. But not [...]
Nova Microtech Mousepad Review
How smooth does your mouse move? Today, I get the pleasure of checking out the Nova MicroTech gaming mousepad. Compared to some of Nova’s other mousepads, the MicroTech is a bit smaller than others. For that reason, I decided to check this one out using my laptop and wireless mouse. As I mentioned in my previous Nova review, [...]
Nova Raider 6000dpi Mousepad Review
I hate mousepads. They slide all over the place, they stain, and they start to smell funny after a couple of keg parties. Mine usually sits on the opposite side of my keyboard, with a drink on top of it so I don’t ruin the finish on my desk. Frankly, I never even saw the [...]

Products from Razer and SteelSeries are common at these gatherings, where bragging rights are only as good as your equipment. More companies are getting in on this action, offering new products to keep the gamer in your [...]
QPAD CT Gaming Surface Review
Anyone living in Europe and is into gaming will most likely have heard of QPAD (especially if you live in cold-ass Sweden). I first came in contact with QPAD products on the local lanparties when I had a nice talk with them at Dreamhack 2007 Winter edition. I figured it would be nice to get some extra information to [...]
Razer Destructor Mousepad Review
Anyone really into PC gaming knows all about Razer products. Their products are so recognizable mainly because of their unique sense of style, and the fact that Razer names their products after deadly wildlife. Razer has themed their products after the world’s deadliest snakes, fish, and spiders… so what deadly animal can they slap on their [...]
SteelSeries SP Mousing Surface
If someone were to ask you “Who’s your favorite mousepad manufacturer?”, what would you say? This list is rather short, and not many companies are known for their pads alone. SteelSeries is one of those companies that many PC enthusiasts will mention, because they keep delivering innovative products to a category that many think of [...]
SteelSeries QcK Heavy Mousing Surface Review
Cloth mousepads were originally invented as a surface to “grab the mouse by the ball”, so to speak. Back in the days when mice were relatively new, they used small rubber balls that moved two rollers (for X and Y cursor position). The average desk didn’t provide enough traction (especially when the mouse ball got [...]
