WARNING: DUE TO THE TRANSPARENT NATURE OF THE GLASS, YOU MAY RUN INTO SOME TRACKING ISSUES WITH CERTAIN MICE SENSORS. The uniform surface ensures that the sensor of the mouse reads movement accurately, translating to more precise in-game actions. From in-depth reviews to news about trending tech and gadgets, we strive to make complex topics much easier to understand. Back in 2001 — when mice still had rollerballs on the bottom — the world’s first (according to the company) frosted glass mouse pad, aka the Icemat, debuted. In evaluating the best glass mouse pads, we focus on durability, user experience, and how they enhance the performance of different mouse sensors.You can also keep your keyboard on the pad, providing a consistent surface for both your keyboard and mouse as well as absorbing those keystrokes. The glass on SkyPAD's mouse pads is made with a special lace pattern, which is burned into the glass itself, and since it is glass, the mouse pad will not lose its properties even during excessive use. The durability of the mouse pad was put to the test across various surfaces — from desks to softer setups like a couch cushion — and it didn’t falter.

The Atlas’s oleophobic coating — and perhaps the cushioning from the full rubber lining on the back — made for a slightly more comfortable experience overall. Optimized for optical sensors and specially treated for quieter swipes, stay in the zone with an ultra-smooth surface that makes your mouse feel like there is zero resistance. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.I didn’t find the Atlas’s thickness to be uncomfortable — and I still don’t — but after having tested both, I prefer the slimness of the Mousepad 3. While the precision and speed was much better than the mechanical mice of the day (much less effort cleaning them, too), I quite remember being constantly irked by the metal's higher level of thermal conductivity: the right palm of my hand always felt a bit cold and that might have permanently biased me against anything pad underneath my mice. This might be partly due to the fact that my other mouse pad, which is currently under just my keyboard, is the Razer Strider Chroma, which is a hybrid pad that’s 0. Project Arctica being constructed from our special type glass allows for extremely high durability and will not wear out even with constant usage.

Having the right mousepad can be crucial for consistent gameplay and make a huge difference to your performance which can be especially important in fast-paced games where split-second decisions can make all the difference. I did consider taking it outside and dropping it on the street, but that didn’t seem very environmentally-friendly (even if I do live in downtown Los Angeles where the streets are full of broken glass anyway). did have a little more reverb from being perched on non-slip feet (and not entirely lined with rubber). But I still prefer a rougher hybrid (or cloth) mouse pad for that kind of detail or precision work, by a large margin — all hard mouse pads, glass or not, are much too slippery.These sizes should only be used as a guide, but we would love to hear your feedback on your own personal experience.
