SteelSeries QcK Gaming Surface - Medium Thick Cloth - Mouse Pad of All Time - Peak Tracking and Stability - Black

Been using hard mouse pads for 8+ years. Recently, I discovered a lot of people using soft, cloth pads. I did the usual research and the Steelseries QcK Heavy sounded like a safe bet. This has turned out to be one of the best purchases I have made, period. It has less friction than what Im used to. This allowed me turn down my sensitivity so I could fine-tune my precision. But at the same time, Im able to make wide turns with ease because of the reduced friction and also because of the large size of the pad itself. You will never run out of mousepad with the QcK Heavy. Along with the reduced friction, strangely enough, I have more control to. Ive found make very small mouse movements are much easier with this mouse pad. So all in all, its just better in every way. Comfort is obviously better because the pad is thick and cloth like. Is will not get cold if the temperature is cold in the room. The only possible downside is if you dont take care of it, it may get dirty. I usually wash my hands before using the computer so thats not really an issue so far. I also wipe it down after every use. Try covering it with a sheet of plastic so it doesnt attract dust when not in use.

This surface is like giving your mouse a field to frolick in, its massive. Obviously, you know the pad will be huge from the specifications, it reminds me of one of those huge remote controls in parody. Ive had this pad for a month and used it extensively. ~120+ hours of gaming thus far and the pad is indistinguishable from day 1 in wear and performance. Great for low sensitivity gaming and for dual-monitor set-ups. Very precise, using a G5 laser and hyperglide skates, great feel, the thickness is comfortable and provides a nice, resistive surface to apply pressure for those razor head-shots. Cleaning the pad is quick and easy. Given the size, as one could deduce, resting your arm on the pad will leave oil/residue, however, misting distilled water on a good quality cotton towel and wiping is very effective. I periodically roll the pad first with a lint roller and follow with DI water/cotton towel. I have had many pads, plastic/metal/cloth, from a variety of gaming brands. When this pad wears out in a year, I will replace it with another steelseries QCK without a second-thought.

I had high expectations for this mousepad considering it was the first one I saw and entirely an impulsive purchase. Although it’s a good mousepad and feels nice, I am still silver in CS:GO. Please explain?? I was under the impression the only thing holding me back from winning every match of wingman was a mousepad, why is this not the case?? pls help, thanks

The one and only. My final mousepad brand. I couldnt use anything else at this point! Ive been using these mousepads since 2006, virtually every day. Im on my third..? Younger me wanted it crisp, and milled thousands of hours on fps games such as cs, quake, cod, battlefield and even osu! as a mouse-only player. This thing has been placed on the right arm of a lazy boy, and it has done the lords work and dropped 30 bombs. If you know, you know. I love you, and Im out.

Does exactly what I need it to do much better than the thin one I purchased

Have had it for 1 year and 2 months now, still in the same shape as when I bought it. I hang it off my desk about 1/4 inch, and after 1 year 2 months it has not even begun to fray around any of the edges. It looks better in person than in the images provided. It is fully black, and does not have those white lines that you see in the preview images. One of my cats kneaded on it, and pulled some fibers up. I clipped them off with nail clippers and it was good as new, no visible defects and no imperfections to the touch either. The minimal about of wear this product has received is from ~5-600 hours of FPS and MOBA gameplay. Definitely recommend. Pros: No fraying after 1 year 2 months (I hang it off my desk about a quarter inch) If your cat kneads on it you can use nail clippers to clip the kneaded parts and its back to good as new Washed it twice, no wear and tear from either washing. One wash was by hand, one was in a washing machine. This thing is durable It looks better in person than in the preview images. It is fully black and does not have those white lines you see in the preview images. Still in new condition after ~5-600 hours of CSGO/MOBA gameplay. Cons: I wish there was a 6mm thick version of the QcK XXL. Maybe one day

I absolutely love this mouse pad. I looked at every mouse pad out there and went back and forth on what to buy. I kept coming back to this pad though. In the end I decided this was the one that I wanted to try. I have not regretted buying this pad once since receiving it. The thickness is perfect. Thick and soft this mouse pad provides excellent rest for my wrist while I hold the mouse. My biggest concern was how the mouse would move on the surface. As it turns out this concern was unwarranted. The mouse glides on the surface of this mouse pad at a perfect rate. The size of the mouse pad is a tremendous bonus. I have a tendency to put my mouse in different positions on my desk depending on what Im doing. This pad erases any issues I have had with that habit as its so big I have difficulty moving it all the way to the top of the pad! One word of warning, if you have a cat, be forewarned your cat will also fall in love with the pad and start to lay on it. My cat often takes up half my pad when Im at my computer. Just keep that in mind if you have a cat.

Nice product but it ships rolled up. So after unrolling it and leaving a stack of heavy books on it for 3 days it still wont lay flat. Because of this there are spots on the pad where the mouse wont respond since it wont lay perfectly flat. If it would lay flat I would give it 5 stars all around but mouse responsiveness is a pretty critical issue. Im hoping it will eventually lay flat but well see.

Pros: - Comfortable - Well made - Comes in various sizes - Easy to clean (I just use soap and water and then let it air dry) Cons: - Comes out of the box smelling kind of funky, but it will air out in a day or two.

Its a nice mouse pad. Its large, works well, and looks nice. One would assume something as simple as a mouse pad would be useable out of the box. Its essentially just a piece of cloth. However, SteelSeries packages this thing in a long narrow box by rolling it up. When you take it out of the box, its distorted into a mouse cylinder, not a mouse pad. I had to spend several hours weighing it down and trying other methods to flatten it out before it was useable. Only rating 3 stars for the fact that something as simple as a mouse pad is not ready to use out of the box. Would it have really been that much more expensive to package it in a way that would make it be flat? I would happily pay a few extra bucks for that. Especially since the warping made the logo look a little worn already.
