With all these computers, keyboards, mice, and even chairs specially designed for the gaming industry, it is easy to overlook a small sheet of flexible plastic called a mouse pad. But it is precisely the rug, which you dubbed “unimportant,” that can play a cruel joke with you when you least expect it — you may not have enough space, or even worse. So do not let this “even worse” happen and learn how to correctly select mouse pads that will faithfully serve your gaming craft. We present you a step by step instructions for choosing a gaming mouse pad.
Size matters
Therefore, the first thing you notice in gaming mats is how huge they are. And this is no accident. In the midst of the battle, a mouse that went beyond the rug could turn into a disaster. At the best, a large rug will ensure a victory for you, at worst it will absorb a spilled drink. What is more important for you - winning the game or a cup of coffee? The answer should be obvious.
Thirst is nothing, style is everything!
All gaming mouse pads have their own individuality, and every gamer can find a mate for himself. Play mats differ not only in size, but also in design, color, texture, and even lighting effects. In order to minimize the “style differences” between your computer components, it is important that the style you chose is well suited not only to your personality, but also to the overall atmosphere of your playing space. Take care also that the style of the rug is combined with the keyboard and especially with the mouse, so that you do not regret the bad choice.
Texture texture
Textured surfaces of gaming rugs are divided into two types - for speed and for control. On surfaces for the speed of movement of the mouse, it accelerates and quickly reaches maximum speed. However, such a rug is unlikely to help you make short, precise movements. Acceleration is less on surfaces to control, and your movements over short distances will be sharp and precise.
Test the mat in action
The best way to make sure that you get what you need is to test the mat yourself. And preferably at several games. If this is not possible, buy both types of floor mats. If your finances do not allow you to buy an extra rug, then fortunately for you there are double-sided play mats that provide both speed and control.
Read reviews
Why waste time and energy on what has already been done for you? Look on the Internet, read forums and articles, until it becomes clear to you which mat is suitable for which game, and which one will be completely useless.
When you find your perfect gaming mouse pad, you will no longer be able to blame it for your failures. So make sure that you are ready to accept any consequences of your actions. And if so, get ready to win.
