Introduction

SteelSeries is one of the most recognized companies when it comes to gaming grade mouse mats. The mat I will be taking a look at today is dubbed the SP and is the natural successor to the SteelSeries S&S mat. Much like the SteelSeries S&S the new SP is a hard plastic mat which offers quite a lot of new innovations, right from the surface to the rubber base. The surface technology employed by the SP is a market first. It's called a macroscopic surface which doesn't look anything like a mouse mat surface at first glance. Besides the all new surface SteelSeries has made a wise choice when it came to deciding on the base of the pad. Instead of the art stucco sprayed rubber that we saw on the S&S, the SP features the same solid rubber bottom that was first introduced with the SteelSeries SX metal mouse mat.
