XTRAC PADS Ripper XXL Mouse Pad

Pros: It's big. More than enough mouse room.
Prevents keyboard from sliding.
Makes desk look awesome.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Yes, like others have said, it is smelly at first. Though it only took about 10 minutes for it to go away. (The packaging was a lost cause however)

Pros: Works Excellent on my Death Adder mouse. very smooth and no " exciting" maneuvers

Cons: STINKY STINKY STINKY...i had to put this in my garage for about a week to let it air out. alittle fabreze helped alot. after a week....perfect and into the house it went. gave it 4 because of the smell

Other Thoughts: already ordered a second one

Pros: -This thing is huge!

-Sticks to my glass desk like glue!

-Mouse tracks good.

-Keyboard does not move around any longer.

Cons: This thing does smell. I let it hang outside for about 20 minutes and brought it in. The pad still smelled really strong. I played a game for about 20 minutes and started to get a headache. I filled my sink up with cold water and a tad of dish soap and washed it. I hung it up to try for about 1 hour. No more smell and the thing is still in perfect condition.

Pros: Large format
Wide format
Thick
No obnoxious logo
Rounded edges
Stays in place

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Wished the logo sat on the left side, instead of the side my mouse sits on. Or the top right or top left. No big deal since my mouse strays about an inch from it but it's in the back of my head (I don't want the logo to rub off).

Pros: HUGE!! In my opinion its better than the razer mouse pads. Dont worry about spilling soda or anything on it because it cleans up with ease.

Cons: one of the edges had a little bit of fraying but I cant complain about that.

Pros: HUGE! LOVE IT! This thing is more of a drape than a mouse pad. Wow it is big! It states the length in the description but oh my! you will never find the edge of it with your mouse if you position it properly. good buy!

Cons: NONE

Other Thoughts: some said it smells, it IS synthetic people! and alot of it. take it out and wave it around, no problems.

Pros: Large, incredibly smooth, works well as a armrest while typing, and even though it's so big that it won't move the bottom part has a very good grip so it's not going anywhere. Washable without ruining the mouse mat.

Cons: At the current time, none.

Other Thoughts: I picked up this mouse pad because the table I am using has a imperfect surface that actually would make my mouse either slow down dramatically or get caught on something. I was using a sphex before however I personally found the sphex to wear out fast and it also shreds braided cables like no tomorrow and being that it was so thin I still felt every imperfection on the table when using it. So I ended up picking up this mouse pad and for $25 including shipping I figured I can't go wrong. and without question I did not.

I feel like this mouse goes it's half way, by this I mean it does exactly what it is intended to do, gives you great tracking with a smooth surface. If your using a mouse with bad feet then it won't turn it into a mouse that feels like it's gliding on ice, this is a cloth mat and not a plastic mat afterall. So I did feel a bit of resistance with my Razer Naga but I blame that on Razer's feet they include with the naga being poor. With that said I also have a Steelseries xai that I use for FPS games, The feet on that mouse are superb and with use with this mouse pad felt every bit as slippery as sphex, if not better. In this sense I am quite happy with this mouse mat as it does it's intended job and does it well.

I was able to try some other offerings from Mionex, and Razer and the price on those two are higher I found them to be smaller, and offer the same tracking experience as the ripper xxl which leads me to one reason why they charge the price they do. Name recognition. You are buying a mouse mat for the namesake of those companies.

In conclusion it's cheaper, and generally larger than other brands. If you're in the market for a very large mouse mat then this is the one you should buy. Same or better quality, also made in the US fully which I think is just a huge plus, however I would have felt good if it came out of europe also since they make fine products too. If you're looking for a desktop size mouse pad, this is the one you want. Accept no substitutes.

Pros: I love this pad, the measurements are perfect for the extra space i was looking for. I always got tired of having to move the mouse pad back to its original position or the mouse falling off the pad. I don't have to worry about that with the Ripper XXL though!!! Very Satisfied!

Cons: I don't see any cons to the pad at this point, seems to be perfect to me.

Other Thoughts: The shipping I thought was kind of ridiculous, because the box it came in was a lot wider than the tube the actual pad was in. So basically, there was a lot of wasted space in the box to fit the tube, but I have my pad so I'm happy!

Pros: It's big. It's fabulous. I have a desk with a glass top, and this gives me a solid work space without a mouse pad.

Cons: None.

Pros: Very large and comfortable pad.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Buy it, you wont regret it
