Sharkoon 1337 Gaming Mat

Gaming & Application Performance

Gaming Performance

Gaming with the pad is a joy using the Logitech MX1000, which is a laser mouse. There is no jumping or getting stuck. The mouse does not glide further than the user intends it to. This shows that there is a good balance between friction and smoothness on the mouse pad. The Logitech MX518 was used to test the mouse pad with an optical mouse. The optical sensor did not have any problems with the mouse pad. There was no skipping or unusual movements, no matter what sensitivity was used.

Playing fast paced first person shooters is very comfortable on the 1337 gaming mat.

Games that require precise moving of the mouse to specific locations, like real time strategy or point & click games is great, but may require some getting used to, as it is smoother than usual cloth or plastic pads.

Application Performance

Applications like Photoshop work well with the pad, as the mouse pointer does not jump at all or get stuck in any way, thus the user is not hindered in editing very specific parts of an image.

General use of Windows results in the same positive impression. Users of heavy mice will definitely appreciate the smoothness of the 1337 gaming mat.
