Conclusion

This is a fantastic mouse mat in many ways. It is one of the sexiest looking mouse mats I have ever seen. Its gorgeous glass finish is a real eye catcher, and its cold glass feel is very nice indeed. It works flawlessly throughout windows applications and surfing around online, however it does have some shortfalls. During high speed and especially high tense games, any fluids shed onto the pad render your mouse almost useless, and the mouse tends to not read and the most inopportune moments. Another problem with the pad I found at the conclusion of the testing was this:

The lovely finish that I had praised earlier was marred by my greasy fingers. Curse you Fear!

In slower games, such as CnC Generals and other RTS games, this mat performs brilliantly, and is flawlessly smooth in allowing your mouse to glide effortlessly over its surface.

All in all, this is a great mouse mat, one for perhaps the casual gamer and general windows user rather than the hardcore gamers, though perhaps the less leaky of the gaming world will find this mat much more easier to use than I.

I would like to thank Icemat for providing us with their Icemat 2nd Edition for us to review.
