Introduction

One of the most overlooked and least appreciated gaming accessories is the pad your mouse rests on. Taking its lowly place under the feet of your primary instrument of destruction: your gaming mouse.

On a daily basis at Bjorn3D we hear everything from "I don't use a pad" (Shame on you; your poor mouse's feet probably have blisters) to "I'm using a phone book right now." Most gamers like to have a nice mouse that fits the hand, becoming an extension of the arm when running and gunning on the battlefield, thusly PWNing everything that moves. Yet, they think nothing about the pad under that expensive mouse, and often end up on the desk's surface, a book, a piece of paper, a cutting board, or a simple piece of cardboard.

While Optical, Laser or Infrared mice can operate under those grueling conditions, we, and perhaps we alone, hear their cries of agony. Crying out into the glow of the LCD, "Help us our feet hurt, Help us Help you PWN". When Razer contacted us about testing their new Goliathus High Speed Edition Gaming Mouse Pad, we heard the cries of thousands of mice begging for relief and we were glad for the chance to be the voice of all those tortured souls.

If the mouse is an extension of your arm in the heat of battle, the mouse pad is logically an extension of your mouse; it can and will help your gaming experience if you let it. It will also help to extend the useful life of your mouse by protecting it's feet, which means it protects your investment, too.

About Razer

Razer collaborates with gamers to develop, manufacture and market cutting-edge gaming peripherals utilizing proprietary technologies that give gamers the competitive edge. We reinvented the computer gaming industry by bringing this competitive edge to gamers when professional computer gaming was in its infancy. In the mid 90s, with the advent of networked gaming and competitive first-person-shooter (FPS) games, gamers found that their legacy peripherals were inhibiting rather than enhancing their gameplay.

In 1999, the Razer Boomslang™, the stuff of gaming legends, was launched after much research. Featuring an unprecedented precision of up to 2000 dpi when other mice maxed out at 400 dpi, the Razer Boomslang, powered by proprietary opto-mechanical technology, offered up to five times the accuracy of other gaming mice. It came as no surprise when professional gamers widewide such as Jonathon “Fatal1ty” Wendell and Sujoy Roy readily adopted the Razer Boomslang as their gaming mouse of choice. In just two years, more than 100,000 Razer Boomslangs were sold by Christmas.

Headquartered in Carlsbad, California, Razer collaborates with gamers to develop, manufacture and market cutting-edge gaming peripherals utilizing proprietary technologies that give gamers the competitive edge. Razer products have earned critical praise and won multiple awards from around the world for their precision, sensitivity, usability and distinctions in product design. Engineered to near perfection, Razer’s reputation of being the leader in gaming peripheral technology is embodied in every single Razer product.
