Cooler Master is extending its reach in the peripherals/accessory market with a weighty entry into the mousepad market. The Cooler Master MP860 RGB Gaming Mousepad does a good job of describing its form and function: it's a mousepad with RGB lighting capabilities. An RGB strip with 19 color spots lights around the mousepad in user-configurable neons, and sips power and configuration data (including pairing with other RGB hardware users may have) through a USB 3.0 port. Cooler Master managed to keep the RGB controllers and whatnots to a slim level, though, with none of the bulky protrusions usually found in other mousepad RGB solutions.

The MP860 RGB Gaming Mousepad features a dual-sided design with cloth and anodized aluminum. Dimensions are set at 360 x 260 x 6 to 10mm. The MP860 will be available in the UK starting next month for £79.99.
