The new gaming surfaces provide twice the responsiveness of other mouse mats or gaming surfaces currently available. Consisting of four different surfaces, the new range is available in a variety of sizes and materials, and optimized for both optical and laser sensors.

The G.L.I.D.E.3 is optimized for mice which feature an optical sensor, ideal for high-sensitivity feedback and 38% larger than a standard mouse mat. The G.L.I.D.E.5 is also optimized for optical sensors, but is ideal for low sensitivity gaming as the surface is 317% larger than a standard mouse mat. The G.L.I.D.E.7 is manufactured from low-friction silicone, ideal for laser sensors, sized at 150% larger than a standard mouse mat and complete with a premium carry case for easy transport to tournaments. Lastly, the G.L.I.D.E.9 is manufactured from anodized aluminum, ideal once again for laser sensors, 140% larger than a standard mouse mat and again complete with a premium carry case.

i figured out the flexible/soft mouse pad tracks better than a glass/metal/plastic top model lol

None of those pads are guarded from dirt... on average any of them gets dirty from our hands an all the $$$ gimmick disappears comparing from a simple around 20$ worth elastic cover.

Unless you polish and clean your pad before each spawn/kill - gamer level - paranoid :D

heck ive washed the cloth/foam pads in soap and water, no problems there

Glass mats i find the best hoe ever they do have a flaw and that would you have to keep them ultra clean and that includes moisture on your hands in summer time..

To me it's the best thing SS ever made is a glass mouse mat.
