![]() I had been a victim of wrist pain before after extended gaming sessions so I was kind of hesitant about the lack of a gel wrist rest. Instead, there is a little downward slope where your wrist would be to help guide your wrist. Unlike the Vespula, the SWTOR mousepad does not come with a soft-gel filled wrist rest. After about 3 weeks of heavy usage (avg 12 hrs per day/7 days a week), there are a couple of scratch marks on the mouse feet but no serious wear & tear otherwise. ![]() The other important thing about mousepad surfaces is their treatment of the little rubber feet under your mouse. If you have used a Razer Vespula mousepad before, you will be sad to know that these two surfaces on the SWTOR mousepad are identical and do not offer a rough/smooth side like the Vespula. This also means that the surface will stand a fair bit of wear and tear before you have to flip it to the other side (it still looks brand new after 3 weeks of usage). The surface is also fairly scratch resistant, which is great if you have pets (especially cats) that like to test out their claws on your desk. This allow you to move the mouse cursor fairly quickly in game but without losing any precision. However, I will say that the mouse pad surface has more glide than grip compared to a cloth mousepad or the table surface. This is my first time using a hard mouse pad (previously used a cloth mousemat and before that the table surface) so I don’t have anything to really compare it to. Grip is how much resistance the mouse gets while sliding across the surface and glide is how essentially the opposite – how far it can slide before it stops. There are two fancy terms to describe the surface – Grip and Glide. The actual hard white plastic pad itself is smooth and non glossy. Its roughly the length of 2 highlighters, which is plenty of space to move around and not totally clutter up your table! This number probably doesn’t mean much so here is a picture with my highlighter and my Collectors Edition security key thingie to give you some perspective in size. The pad itself is about 220 mm x 315 mm in size. ![]() There is a very large hole at the base that allow you to easily tap out the surface to swap to the other side. It comes with a heavy metal base padded by thousands of tiny rubber feet at the bottom and smooth white hard plastic pad at the top which you can flip to display faction specific icons (this also means that if you somehow totally ruined one surface, you can just flip to the other surface). The mousepad is priced at $49.99 at the Razer store. Lets talk about the mousepad first as it is probably the least complex out of the three. ![]() Cons: It is a bit expensive due to the SWTOR branding. ![]()
