Introduction

Gaming mice are all the rage, with the ability to crank up the accuracy to 4000DPI and beyond, it’s no surprise that hardened PC users are looking to grab one. However, the surface they glide over is as important as the mouse itself, not just in the realm of accurate tracking but friction and movement.

Today I have a SteelSeries mouse pad that follows in their hybrid range, this time with a fully hard top with soft rubber backing to grip your desk. Named the SP Pro Gaming mouse pad, lets see whether it lives up to its name…

SteelSeries SP is a macroscopic-textured, hard plastic mousepad designed for competitive gamers demanding precision, accuracy and stability from their mousing surface. The responsive gaming-grade surface of the SteelSeries SP offers minimal friction, even for gamers applying a high force of contact on their mice. The surface is compatible with optical and laser mouse technologies and was developed and finely-tuned in cooperation with professional Counter-strike players from mousesports, SK Gaming, Team 3D and complexity. A non-slip rubber base ensures that the mousepad doesn’t slide, even during the most frantic gaming sessions.
