TheAngryMudcrab Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Hey guys, Considering picking up a hard surface Mousepad such as the Razer Invicta. https://www.razerzone.com/ca-en/gaming-mouse-mats/razer-invicta At $70 I am just wondering what the pros are compared to a fabric Mousepad. Anyone out there use one? Got and Pros for or Cons against them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidzebra Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 It looks like a piece of aluminum glued to a piece of hard plastic. I'm just wondering why that would cost $70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit1251 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 It looks like it's designed to work and fit in with the rest of the Razor set up. If you don't own that I would just go with a regular type mouse pad. The Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualBlack Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I remember seeing the ad for the razer mouse pad when it first came out, I had to check if it was April 1st because I have never seen a video made for a computer accessory as insignificant as a mouse pad. $70 for a normal sized mouse pad is a lot when that money could go towards other components. I used to use a rigid mouse pad (soft plastic surface) but I would highly recommend a wide profile fabric mouse pad instead. The rigid ones are good at having dirt and stuff get stuck on them so cleaning was a regular event. On top of that the one I had would slowly wear down and get scratches. I am currently using a ducky flipper mouse pad but I know there are several other cloth brands. They run you about half the price and create a even surface for all desk peripherals. It is really nice having the keyboard and mouse on the same level and it provides a soft surface for your arms to rest on. Unless you are a die hard razer fan I would probably avoid it. That being said, maybe someone will comment on a more positive experience with a rigid mouse pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 70 bucks for a mouse pad just seems really outrageous to me....... I think I am still using the two dollar feller I got from work..... after retiring the one I got for free from my previous place of employment.......

TheAngryMudcrab Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 Thanks everyone for the feedback! $70 is steep for a Mouse lad which is why I wondered if there was any obvious benefit. I happen to have a Razer Mouse and Keyboard. But that was circumstance of a sale rather then being a fan of the brand lol. I’ll stick with my $10 fabric one from Best Buy for now.

FMod Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I'm using a similar mousepad now, aluminum+plastic, but a Thermaltake one. It sucks. (Hey, don't judge me for buying it, like much of my rig it was a review sample.) The TT pad is a little thinner, but adds rubber corners - they help a lot against wrist scrapes, but no glue seems to hold them steady! - and a rubber mouse cable holder. The latter works. The "control" side sucks donkey balls. The "speed" side is usable, but it's not as good as a cloth pad (80% vs 90% surface recognition on Avior), and it keeps collecting dirt. Once it gets dirty, it makes the mouse skip for real, and the mouse gets to collect that dirt itself. The only reasons I keep using it are the mouse cable holder and the ability to get it 25% or so off the table edge. If I don't mind getting my wrist scraped by its aluminum core, that is. A cloth mouse pad just absorbs the dirt, you have to throw it into the machine every couple months, but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 My cheapy mouse pad has a non-porous surface, so, if it gets dirty, wipe it off with a damp cloth, and it's good to go. I use a four-button MS mouse, and it works just fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted133263User Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) I got a Razer floppy mouse pad which was on sale, and has a very good surface for optical mice .. Then stuck it to a cheap wooden vegetable chopping board from a hardware store with EvoStick : Cost about 8 quid and its perfect for me :D Edit : One of these stuck to a board https://www.razerzone.com/ca-en/gaming-mouse-mats/razer-goliathusLocal game shop was having a clear out sale of stuff they had not sold, 5 quid.

0Theara Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Never heard of that thing before, until now. pretty expensive for a mouse pad, it like buying a full AAA game. still, I also like to hear some feedback from some of its owner. Is it worth $70 for this mouse pad or naah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
