This mat performs really good under any given circumstances. Both when it comes to control, precision, and tracking. In other words the surface featured on the SX has a lot of excellent qualities. I think that the combination of a really fine grained surface with above average gliding performance makes it a really good mat for most gamers. The only thing that I dislike about it besides the high price is that it's quite cold to play on.
If you can muster a whooping $59.95 then you in for quite a ride. This mat not only looks and performs, but will also be good in a year or two because it's made of metal and not plastic like most hard mats on the market.
This is the first ever hard mouse mat I have had where the finish was perfect. I tried to find flaws on the surface, but there were none to find.
With this mat you get a great performer and a perfect surface that suits most gamers. If you can live with the high price you will find that this mat has a lot to offer besides looking good on your desk.
