Thanks to Razer for the product sample.
Over the past few months I've had the opportunity to review a good dozen mouse pads. Although each had a uniqueness factor, none have stood out as "the best". Today we'll be taking a look at Razer's eXactMat. This performance package is labeled as "the official mousing surface of the world cyber games 2004 grand finals". A claim as such must amount to something. For those out of the loop, the company is primarily known for their high performance mice, a trend that began with their first ball mouse (the oversized Boomslang).
The pad comes extremely well packaged and presented, as shown above. The sides of the box open to allow for the sliding out of the plastic mold holding the pad. There are also three pre-cut holes in the package that let you feel both textures of the pad and that of the wrist rest.
That's right, in addition to the mouse pad you also get a custom wrist rest. Both are machined to fit one another precisely. Personally I've never been a fan of wrist rests. Every one I've tried has been a nuisance. For the most part, they get in the way and do more harm than good. We'll see if Razer's offering is any different.
The pad itself is extremely appealing as far as surfaces go. It has an elegant, smooth shape and is jet black with anodized aluminum trim. In the lower right corner you'll find the logo. It measures 10.4" x 13" x 0.1" (265 x 330 x 2.5mm) which I personally found to be ideal; not too large, not too small.
The aluminum trim isn't purely aesthetic. It helps prevent scratches and the eventual deterioration of the mouse pad's border, something that's all too common these days. You'll also find 4 rubber feet on each corner of the eXactMat to prevent slipping. Because of the pad's shape, they don't interfere with tracking and don't look out of place either. Once you see it, you'll come to the same conclusion I did: that this is a very well thought-out product.
