SteelSeries QcK Prism Cloth Gaming Mouse Pad - 2-zone RGB Illumination - Real-time Event Lighting - Optimized For Gaming Sensors - Size XL (900 x 300 x 2mm) - Black + RGB

It was between the SteelSeries QcK Prism cloth and cheaper XL alternatives. In the end I opted for the SS QcK Prism XL as after watching unboxing videos I saw the material was slightly different than even the other SteelSeries alternatives. It is thicker and smoother than their regular XL cloth and it is less smooth than their hard cloth. It is also thinner than their heavy duty alternative. So it actually was the perfect material that I was looking for in terms of smoothness.I didn't want something that was too cloth-like in feeling. I wanted a very smooth polyester feeling but not something that was too slippery like a hardcover material.The RGB lighting has a great range and in the SteelSeries software which I already use for their mouse and headset it was immediately recognised. You can either have them all go to the same colour scheme or you can customise it individually. It has two independent zones (top and bottom) and the light is of course brightest on the left side of the mousepad where the RGB lighting is situated but even during day time the colours reach the other end of the mousepad which is impressive.You can fully change the colour scheme and there are many possibilities here you can also change the general brightness level of the pad as well. This was especially great as the pad has an insanely good max brightness level. I was really surprised!In my pictures you can see the brightness level with it about halfway, I turned it down as I didn't want it to distract my eyes from the action going on my monitor in games. But you can find the perfect sweet spot that suits yourself by adjusting the brightness level in the SteelSeries software.In terms of the surface it has held up really well these past few months of constant use and cleaning it is quite easy you just need a slightly damp cleaning cloth - ideally a microfiber cloth that does not leave cloth residue after going over it with a damp one you can use a dry one.In terms of dust collection I notice my desk seems to collect more dust than the cloth, don't ask me how that works, but in any case cleaning it once per month was fine for where I live. If you live in an area with more dust in the air you might find you need to clean it more often.The cloth works well with my mouse and I noticed an immediate difference versus using the mouse on the table surface. I never get any tracking errors while using the mousepad and I would definitely recommend going XL as then you no longer have to fight the position of the mousepad when adjsuting your keyboard position. I use a different position of my mouse and keyboard for different games. Apex Legends - Call of Duty I put my keyboard at an angle and use the mouse quite close to the keyboard while strategy games like League - Minion Masters - StarCraft 2 I use the mouse further away from the keyboard and the keyboard straight.This is where the XL comes in handy as I just have so much room to move my mouse and keyboard around on the pad without ever having to move the pad itself.I have a very smooth table surface and the pad stays in its position. Though overtime I do notice it moves ever so slightly each day and I just have to re-position the entire pad a few times a month.A word of warning, you will probably need to get used to the pad the first week, as the RGB is wrapped in a plastic sewing for durability. But once you find the sweet spot in terms of how you want the pad to be positioned on your table (in my sitting position and on my table I found it best to have the pad overhanging the edge of the table). But in any case once you find that sweet spot the RGB sewing won't bother you anymore.Additionally just from daily use the sewing flattens down with the pad a bit so it gets more comfortable with usage.

A perfect mouse mat for large desks with gaming in mind, it stays nice and flat on my desk, no issues with the edges curling in on themselves which has been a big annoyance with mouse mats I've had in the past.It tends to pick up quite a bit of dirt if you tend to snack or eat around your desk, but it's really easy to clean.In terms of smoothness, it's perfect. My mouse glides smoothly over the mat, but it's also not too slippery allowing great control.Highly recommend.

Excellent product. Not much else to say.

Absolutely love this product! First of all the mat is made out of excellent quality fabric, it is robust and the rubber material underneath keeps the mat in place.The LED lights are a lot bigger and brighter than I expected and I love how you can customise through the Steelseries software. Additionally the stitching that holds the LED lights to the mat is strong, flush and complements the design.After testing out many games, I can safely say the mousemat safely meets your needs if you want to play fast paced competitive games.Overall although this product is pricey. You are getting an excellent quality product. I have used this for month prior to this review and there is no sign of wear.

Fast smooth glide with decent stopping power.Feels of good quality.

Used to own the smaller size but found it moved about whilst gaming, this larger size is perfect, covers most my desk and goes under both the keyboard and mouse whilst still providing a lot of room for low sens mouse flicking, good quality
