Member Reviews: Razer Vespula Dual-Sided Gaming Mouse Mat (Dark Grey)

I picked this up because my eXactMat which I've had for quite a few years had started getting pretty nasty and cleaning it just wasn't worth it. This is a solid mousepad and really the only option if you want a hard pad with a wrist rest. Sadly this really is just a stripped down and cheapened version of the exactmat. It is made out of plastic and while it feels fairly sturdy it has nothing on the aluminum of it predecessor (they were both the same price). Still a good pad and really the only option like it but I wish they hadn't ditched the quality of the original.

I bought this mouse pad to replace one that I had for ages that had finally fallen apart. I cant say I did much research, I just went to Frys and picked one that was large and good for gaming. Ill talk first about the looks. The grey and black color scheme looks really good and the green bumpers accent the pad pretty well. It would be nice if they were black also (to match my computer color scheme, but that doesnt matter to me much). the wrist rest has the razer logo right in the middle of it and is attached to a skid pad that is the exact same size as the mouse pad (which helps to keep the pad from moving around during heavy gaming). The mouse pad itself is pretty thick and rigid...

Bought this to replace my years old and worn Steelpad 4D. FIrst of all aesthetics, I personally really like the looks of it, some of you out there won't but that's personal preference. The 4 green strips in the corner of the mouse pad are raised rubber strips that helps the mouse pad grip the table, in addition to the rubber matt which the wrist rest is attached to. The rubber matt on this is miles better than the one on the Steelpad, with that mouse pad when I'm playing BF3 the mouse pad will shift under my hands as I'm playing. With the Vespula it feels like the harder I try to shift the rubber matt the harder it grips. The wrist rest is made out of quite a stiff memory foam, I find it...
