Surface

The pad was tested with laser and optical mice. While some may still use an old fashion mouse ball, it will certainly not be in a gaming environment where mice and mouse pads have become an important asset. The following mice were used to test the Cyber Snipa Pro Gamer Mouse Matt mouse pad:

• Logitech MX Revolution
• Cyber Snipa Intelliscope
• Logitech MX518

The Logitech MX Revolution is one of the most advanced mice out there, but is not necessarily considered a gaming mouse. The Cyber Snipa Intelliscope is a budget laser mouse on the other hand is geared toward gamers and offers a variable DPI setting. The Logitech MX518 is one of the most successful optical gaming mice and is still commonly used today as the weapon of choice by many gamers.


The first thing you notice when using the Cyber Snipa mouse pad is the slight roughness of the surface. It gives you a great feel for accuracy while still being fast enough for most games. Due to the surface, the mouse also comes to a halt very quickly. This adds to the accuracy. It is not as rough as most plastic pads, thus this may not be the perfect one when switching materials.

Size

The size of the pad can be descibed as perfect for most gamers. It is placed right between the Sharkoon surface and the XTracPads mouse pad This means that it is big enough for high and mid sensitivity gamers. Even low sensitivity gamers should be able to quickly adapt their gaiming style for this pad, as it should still be large enough. This means that most gamers can use this pad, when only size is considered.

Comfort

Due to the somewhat thick under-padding, you will notice this pad when playing, The accurate, but somewhat rough cloth used, make for a comfortable, but somewhat noticable gaming experience. This means that you may wonderi about the feel of the pad while gaming for the first few sessions, before you get used to it. You may want to game on this pad in advance of going to a tournment at a LAN party. Once you get used to it, this pad does work well, as you do not think about the surface any longer.

Durability

Due to the soft build, the Cyber Sniper matt can be rolled up easily for transportation. That attribute also means, that it is more susceptible to pointy or sharp objects as other mouse pads. As is the case with most cloth pads, the life time is limited. The Cyber Snipa Pro Gamer Mouse Matt should last a bit longer than the average pad, due to the thickness and well cut edges.
