Value and Conclusion

	The XTracPads Pro comes with a price tag of $13.99 US Dollars.
	Unique and useful aspect ratio Very soft and comfortable Good mouse movement Very accurate Should last long Sticker included
	May not be high enough for some gamers or games Should be a bit harder to clean than other cloth pads Space needed on desk May not be speedy enough for low sensitivity gamers Is susceptible to liquids Softness may not be for everyone
8.5	The XTracPads Ripper impresses with the wide aspect ratio. It is roughly as big as a 19 inch 16:10 LCD monitor. This is also the reason XTracPads has created such a mouse pad. With more and more monitors stretching 16:10 these days the gaming surface should offer a similar layout. The Ripper is soft, feels great and mouse movement is really smooth. It is not made for a specific type of game or gamer and the size, speed and accuracy should make it a good pad for anyone with 16:10 monitor. Only low sensitivity gamers may find themselves missing the height of a large 4:3 ratio pad at times. The Ripper will also need a lot more horizontal space than you may think when looking at the pictures. A total desktop width of around four feet should be minimum. Keep the pad away from liquids and clean it on a regular basis and you should be happy with the Ripper for quite some time.
