This is THE MOUSEPAD for today mousing technologies, January 24, 2006
This review is from: Razer eXactMat and eXactRest Bundle - Mouse Pad and Wrist Rest (Personal Computers)
I bought the RAZER ExactMat and been testing it for almost a month. I wanted to be absolutely sure on every aspect before I share any thoughts. I'm a gamer. No doubt about it. So, I got tired of using all the traditional mousing surfaces. I tried them all. From the traditional "freebie" to what I thought was the best I could find a t the time: the 3M Presicion Mousing Surface. Good stuff. Its only drawback is it starts showing degraded performance around a year of use.
After some research, I found the Razer ExacMat. It got the looks. But the real question is: Does it got the guts? How well does it performs?
I tested the ExactMat with a Logitech MX1000 laser mouse. My first impression wasn't that positive. My mouse showed some erratic behavior. So, I was starting to fell a little disapointed. Especially after reading a previous review pointing how this pad wasn't very laser technology friendly. Or so this reviewer thought.
Guess what,...The problem was not with the ExactMat by itself. After some more testing I discovered that the mousepad is SO BIG, the mouse wireless sensor wasn't able to send it's signal to the far corner of the ExactMat. Funny thing!
I repositioned the sensor. NO problems no more. The MX1000 really FLOATS over any of the two surfaces of the ExactMat. One for CONTROL. One for SPEED. Both surfaces gives you a very fine control over every movement.
Worth mentionning: you won't notice any performance difference between using the ExactMat and any "1 buck mousepad" if you don't try it with a optical or laser mouse.
In Conclusion:
- Highly recommended for FPS fans!! Recommended for any gamer.
- Works like a charm with my MX1000 laser mouse
- Be sure to have your wireless sensor positioned as close as you can to your mousepad. This thing is really big.

WARNING: No Razer mouse, you better test before you buy., January 20, 2007
This review is from: Razer eXactMat and eXactRest Bundle - Mouse Pad and Wrist Rest (Personal Computers)
I was looking at this mouse pad already at CompUSA where it was far higher prized but I wanted it. As soon as I came home I ordered in and waited at the door. As soon as I got it in my hand all kind of things started flying of my desk to make room for it, but well worth it!
The first mouse I tested was a Microsoft laser mouse and it miserably failed! I could not get it to work at all (PANIC) but once I tested my Razer Copperhead everything work fine and (no surprise here) my Logitech Mouse also worked great! WARNING: In case you do not plan to use a Razer mouse you may want to test your mouse before you buy.
Its wrist support and unique dual sided design works very well for me, one of the guys that sit thousands of hours a year in front of my computer. In addition I switched over to using my Razer Copperhead as my full time mouse for both gaming and my actual job writing code. Because of it size I never had to lift the mouse of the mouse pad, even while running dual 20" wide screen LCD monitors.
Looking at its price it may be overkill for a thin, stamped-out sheet of aluminum with two different surface codlings, 8 rubber feel and a wrist rest. Looking at the price maybe, but I love it and would buy it again!
