Razer is one of the most well-known brands of professional gaming peripherals in the world. As of 2017, its products have won the "Best of CES" award at the Consumer Technology Show (CES) for seven consecutive years. At the same time, Razer is also the first peripheral manufacturer to launch a high-DPI gaming mouse, and has been active in the e-sports field for a long time, and is a sponsor of well-known teams such as Team Liquid, LGD, and SKT, and has a large number of professional gamer users.
In the field of mouse pads, Razer's product coverage is very wide. From ordinary cloth pads to resin pads, coated pads, and double-sided mouse pads made of special materials, even metal pads that are rarely tried by foreign manufacturers at present, Razer is involved. Based on its consistent expertise in RGB devices, Razer has also introduced several Color-in-Motion Mouse Pads.
Resin pads are known for their smoothness that far exceeds cloth pads, making them suitable for games such as MOBAs that do not require demanding operational precision. Razer is one of the best resin mat manufacturers at the moment, and the richness of its resin mat products is unrivaled in the industry. There are the very classic Giant Ant 2 and Stinger Fire Ant, as well as some very distinctive non-traditional resin pads, such as the Digging Wasp series that is less than half a millimeter thick.
The Razer Breaker Giant Ant 2 is a high-quality product in the coated resin mat, which has a high degree of smoothness and handling. The double-sided resin pad Stinger Fire Ant is an advanced option for resin pad enthusiasts, with a slight difference in the smoothness of the resin on both sides, and a similar touch to the Destruction King Giant Ant 2, but with a slimmer touch. In addition to the mouse pad itself, the most eye-catching thing about the stinger fire ant is its textured aviation aluminum base. Razer's resin mat is accurately positioned in the high-end market, and the price of the Destruction King Giant Ant 2 is about 300 yuan, while the stinger fire ant has reached about 500 yuan.
Players who buy resin pads need to note that resin pads are not resistant to wear and tear, and generally brand new resin pads will change significantly after 3 months of use. At the same time, due to the extremely high smoothness, the resin pad has a low sense of control. For novices, it takes time to get used to the feeling of the mouse being too "floating".
In terms of cloth pads, the Razer Heavy Armor Bug is one of the most well-known mouse pad series, which is divided into a speed version and a control version. On the Heavy Armor Bug, there is a very classic misunderstanding - the Speed version is smoother than the Control version. In fact, due to the rough surface of the control version, the contact surface with the mouse is small, and the friction is lower. The control version is recommended for non-traditional FPS games with RTS or frequent camera shifts, such as Overwatch, while in traditional FPS games, the speed version is a good choice. The Heavy Armor Bug series is available in a variety of sizes from small to table mats, with prices ranging from 60 to 200 yuan.
Aimed at low-DPI players in FPS games, Razer has also introduced the Cloth Pad Giant Beetle. This cloth pad, priced at 200 yuan, increases the size to 455x455mm, which is suitable for low DPI players with longer mouse sliding distances. At the same time, the thickness of the giant beetle has also been increased to 5mm, providing a better sense of control, and will not cause the mouse pad to be uneven due to uneven desktops.
Razer is one of the world's top RGB peripheral manufacturers, due to a large number of RGB peripheral products, Razer has specially created the RGB lighting system Razer Chroma (Phantom), which is currently one of the most playable and rich RGB drivers, and it is not difficult to get started. The Razer Flame Worm series is currently the main RGB mouse pad, with a normal version and a fabric version, using resin and cloth respectively. The current price is 350~430 yuan, due to the high price, it is also only recommended to buy RGB enthusiasts.
