6 best mouse pads
In theory, you can use a computer mouse on any surface. However, no one will argue with the fact that a special pad will allow for more comfortable work. And certainly gamers, who are trying to get the most accurate positioning and quick response, cannot do without a rug. At the same time, no mouse pad can be called eternal - the surface of the accessory gradually wears down, which is why the appearance ceases to cause aesthetic pleasure. That's why computer mouse pads remain a hot commodity. You can easily find a lot of such accessories on the counter of the nearest store selling peripherals and other similar products. However, not all rugs have an acceptable quality. If you want to get a convenient and cute accessory that has a long service life, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with our selection. It consists exclusively of the best rugs available in Russian retail.

Corsair MM800 RGB Polaris
Rating: 4.9
Very large and completely stiff mat. It is released by Corsair, famous for its game manipulators. Of course, the carpet can be used and paired with any other mouse, no matter what the manufacturer was involved in its manufacture. This mat differs from competitors by its edging consisting of RGB-LEDs. In a special application, you can customize its behavior - it can glow in one color or shimmer with all the colors of the rainbow. And if you use a Polaris mouse with a similar backlight, the colors of the two accessories can be synchronized.
At the top of the rug is a special block. From it comes a cable that should be connected to a free USB port of the computer. Interestingly, this unit has its own USB-socket - we can say that the carpet at the same time plays the role of extension. The only pity is that the connector belongs to the slow USB 2.0 standard, so connecting a USB flash drive to it is almost pointless (if your system unit is equipped with faster ports).
This rug is fabric. Customers note that any mouse recognizes its surface well, with the result that the positioning accuracy is very high. The base of the rug is made of rubber, due to which the product does not slip at all, even during the most exciting battles. The length and width of the accessory are 350 and 260 mm, respectively. Therefore, the rug turned out to be quite large.
Perhaps this is the most advanced mouse pad in our ranking. And this is a rare case when such an accessory offers an LED border, which consists of 15 separately adjustable zones. It remains to be regretted that the cost of the rug is prohibitive - many computer owners would not give that kind of money even for a mouse, not to mention an accessory for it! In this case, the manufacturer did not bother to modify the software in which the backlight is configured.Someone it does not start when the operating system starts, someone refuses to see the connected devices, someone suffers from other problems.
Virtues
- High-quality fabric coating;
- Rubber base;
- There is an RGB-backlight;
- There is a USB port for peripherals.
disadvantages
- Very high cost;
- The software is unstable.
Razer firefly
Rating: 4.8
If you recall the manufacturers of gaming peripherals, then first of all it comes to mind the company Razer. Its manipulators cost a lot of money, but they look impressive and offer a wide functionality. The range of the company is not limited to mice and keyboards. In many stores you can buy a Razer Firefly rug. Its main task is not to improve the positioning, but to decorate the table. The fact is that this accessory is also equipped with an RGB-backlit on its edge. Adjust the colors, the frequency of their change and the intensity of the glow can be through a special application. The product is connected to the computer via a USB cable. There is no own USB-connector on the carpet, so it is impossible to use it as an extension cord. The dimensions of the accessory are 355x255x3.5 mm. This rug can be safely called stationary. The fact is that it is made of plastic. It can not be minimized, which complicates transportation. However, it does not matter - gaming mouse pads are rarely taken out of the house.
The base of the accessory is rubber. Despite the small weight, the product practically does not slide on the table. To build quality, too, there are no complaints. It seems that such a rug is able to serve gamers for many years. The only drawback of this model is, of course, the price. Not everyone dares to pay 4500 rubles for a mouse pad. Namely, so much accessory from Razer is in Russian retail chains.
Virtues
- RGB-lights with a variety of options for the glow;
- The rug was the most stable;
- Clear positioning;
- Plenty of mouse space;
- Software works without any problems.
disadvantages
- Very high cost;
- The rug takes away one USB port from the user.
SteelSeries QcK Prism
Rating: 4.7
Another mouse pad in our ranking, which also has a multi-colored lights. In this case, it is inside the contour, and not outside, which makes the product externally a little more unique. Also immediately draws attention to the place of attachment of the USB cable - it is not on top, but on the left. However, this does not play a special role - a thin wire in any case should not interfere with the keyboard lying next to it. But its thickness inspires fear - will it break once?
Like other RGB mats, the SteelSeries QcK Prism is plastic. This means that it has a decent thickness. Even very large - it reaches 8.7 mm. If there is no place on the table for such a rug, then it is better not to buy it - you cannot place part of this accessory under the keyboard or something else. By the way, the width and length of the carpet are 357 and 292 mm, respectively.
As it should be, the product has a rubber base. The surface is more interesting. The user can put on it a special fabric that comes in the kit. It will significantly increase positioning accuracy. But you can leave a bare plastic surface - in this case, the gamer will get the best glide of the mouse.
The behavior of the LEDs is regulated in a special application. In some games, the backlight begins to behave in a special way. The drawback of the device lies only in the fact that it will not work on the computer on which Linux is installed. However, it is unlikely that at least one of the gamers uses this operating system. You can find fault and to the price - the cost of this model reaches 4100 rubles.
Virtues
- There is an RGB backlight with unique behavior in some games;
- You can use fabric or plastic;
- The rubber base makes the product steady;
- Plenty of mouse space;
- Software works without interruption.
disadvantages
- USB cable seems too thin;
- It takes away one USB port from the user;
- High price.
ASUS ROG Sheath
Rating: 4.6
As you know, ASUS every year releases new gaming devices included in the ROG series. Laptops are in the greatest demand - they have a nice appearance and impressive characteristics. The company also produces all kinds of accessories that can also be used by gamers. In particular, in the stores you can easily find a mouse pad, which has the name ASUS ROG Sheath. Unlike the previously mentioned models, this carpet has no LED backlight, and its fabric surface allows you to twist the accessory into a tube.
It would seem that the absence of any electronics should have affected the price tag. However, the rug turned out to be very expensive - you can hardly find a store that would ask for it for less than 3,100 rubles. Such money requires for large sizes, constituting 440x900x3 mm. On such a carpet you can place not only a mouse, but also a laptop, and even after that there will be free space! Also, the manufacturer decided to flash the edges, which made the product as durable as possible.
The base of this accessory is made of rubber. No sliding on the table is observed. Well, the fabric surface contributes to perfect positioning - the mouse sensor “sees” it well. The only serious drawback of the rug is its size. If you want to take the accessory with you to work, then you will not be able to do it - it will take up too much space in your backpack (although you can't say that it won't fit). In a word, it is recommended to lay this rug on the table, after which you will never move it from its place.
Virtues
- Huge sizes;
- The edges are stitched;
- Excellent fabric surface;
- The rubber base does not allow the product to slide;
- Long service life.
disadvantages
- High price;
- Take somewhere with a fail.
SteelSeries QcK +
Rating: 4.5
Another large enough rug in our rating, but already close to the square form. To be precise, the width and length of this carpet are 40 and 45 cm, respectively. A laptop on this accessory can not be placed, but the product can be easily taken with you, twisting it into a tube and throwing it into a laptop bag. As it is easy to guess, a fabric coating is applied here. From a distance, it seems that it has a solid black color. But in fact, the texture of the coating is easily recognized, especially by a high-quality mouse sensor.
Like all other members of our rating, the rug has a rubber base. On the table he does not crawl at all, no matter how quickly you drive your manipulator. It should be noted that there is no picture. The product is decorated only with a company logo, and that is located in the lower left corner, almost not attracting attention. This means that the mat is suitable for absolutely everyone. After all, it is known that if an image is applied to an accessory, then one of the potential buyers will certainly not like it.
Unfortunately, the cost of the product is still not adequate. 1500 rub. for a piece of cloth and rubber? Someone will surely smile by ordering an analog from a nameless company in some Chinese online store. And progadat, getting a product with a much shorter service life.
Virtues
- The rubber base does not allow the carpet to slide;
- Excellent fabric surface;
- Large enough;
- It is well cleared of dirt;
- Easy transportation.
disadvantages
- The cost will not please everyone;
- After a few years, it can become delaminated.
A4Tech Bloody B-070
Rating: 4.
This representative of our rating is for fans of World of Tanks or any other similar game. The fact is that a tank is depicted on the fabric surface of the rug. Also, the product differs from the models discussed above due to its red border. By the way, two versions of the accessory are on sale. The second is designed for fans of shooters, as its surface is decorated with a less clear pattern, supplemented with the inscription «Headshot».
Perhaps this is the case when many buyers will be cut off, as they are completely dissatisfied with the images here. It is a pity that you can not get rid of him. But the rubber base does not cause such a feeling. It will pleasantly please any user, since at the expense of him the product does not slide at all on the table. The dimensions of the accessory are 430x350x4 mm. That is, it is more than a sheet of A4 paper, but the keyboard or laptop on such a rug, of course, will not fit. The product is twisted into a straw, so it can easily be taken with you, for example, to work. Well, the cost of the rug is about 700 rubles. Completely acceptable, isn't it?
Virtues
- Easy transportation;
- Good fabric surface;
- Rubber base is used;
- Very large size;
- There are several options for drawing;
- Low cost.
disadvantages
- Images will not suit everyone;
- After a couple of years of use, the surface becomes less smooth.
Conclusion
The range of mouse pads is extremely large. However, many accessories are of low quality. The picture with them peels off after a month of use, and the texture is not recognized in the best way. Fortunately, there are better products, which were discussed in this article. They will suit both gamers and regular users. Some of the rugs have a fairly high price tag - you have to accept this. However, this does not apply to all instances - we tried to tell and accessible rugs. And now you know that even rugs can have LED backlighting today - the times have passed when only keyboards and mice boasted with a multicolored glow. However, do not forget, most of the functional role of the RGB-illumination does not often carry - you overpay only to make your table more beautiful and memorable.
