Mouse pads and gaming surfaces have come a long way in the last thirty years which is saying a lot since the mouse pads themselves tend to be the most overlooked components in a computer setup. Most people will pick up whichever $10 pad looks the best, whether it is the basic blue or black plastic-y surface or if it is that gel mat with the giant cat picture suffused to it, it s generally a woefully under-appreciated peripheral and therefore gamers "skimp out" on the quality surfaces. My first introduction to quality gaming surfaces was back in 2001/2002 when I had been playing on both CAL-I and CAL-M teams in CounterStrike and was in the process of building a new computer.
Awesome :)
