COOLER MASTER SGS-4030-KLMM1 CM Storm Speed-RX Gaming Mouse Pad - Large

Pros: It worked very well the first few weeks.

Cons: Spilled a little water on it and it dried up. Then it started peeling. Very disappointed.

Other Thoughts: I had faith in CM products since I've always used their coolers and keyboards.

Pros: It's quite huge. Lots of room for me to move my hand when gaming. Haven't had a single problem with it yet. CM Storm logo matches my keyboard.

Cons: It smelled bad when you first unbox and use it... Goes away after a couple of hours..

Other Thoughts: Bought it at a retail store.

Pros: mouse slides effortlessly over this pad, very big which is the main reason I bought it.

Cons: with after maybe 2 weeks of use, the top layer is beginning to peal back. I noticed complaints of this from others before buying but thought I'd take my chances. Was hoping Cooler Master would have found a fix by now.

Other Thoughts: I think this pad is nice enough I will keep using it, just get a little glue or something if the pealing becomes to bad and see how that goes

Pros: I liked the feel of the pad initially. It has a very smooth/low friction surface that made the glide of my mice feel good. It feels almost like the material you would find on some trampolines or something like that. I can't quite put my finger on it. Flat black design is usually always good. This mousepad is COMPLETELY unusable however(SEE CONS).

Cons: This mouse pad cannot track fast swipes AT ALL. I tried on my Deathadder black edition, I tried on my old Xai and I tried on a generic logitech mouse just to check all of them. None of them worked with this pad, so I assume no mouse will.

Any swipe over a gentle medium speed sweeping motion will cause the mouse to have a malfunction in its tracking and freak out and jump around the screen losing all semblance of accuracy. Don't ask me why, it must be something to do with the material because my QCK heavy and puretrak talent do not exhibit this behavior with any of my mice.

Cooler master needs to go back to the drawing boards on this one, I honestly can't believe this slipped past them. This mouse is completely unusable for any player who uses low sensitivity.

I currently use a puretrak talent and it looks like it is going to stay that way. I already gave this mousepad away to a friend of mine who plays casual MMO's(as a 'christmas' gift:P I am a good friend I know...) because no one who ever wants to seriously compete could ever use this thing.

Just to add I play @400 DPI/CPI with an ingame sense of 2 for Counterstrike, so I am a pretty low sense player. Malfunctioned constantly while playing.

Other Thoughts: I am still waiting for the CM recon to get to my house, it should be here tomorrow. I own a Quickfirerapid cherry red 10keyless board and it is the best board I have ever used. CoolerMaster does make excellent stuff, but they need to do something about this pad or take it off the market as it is flawed and is going to create a lot of unhappy customers.

Pros: Thick
Big

Cons: Peeling really bad first day using it.
And it clearly stats it is "Triple Layer heat bonding process for improved durability and prevent peeling"
What a joke and waste of $20

Other Thoughts: I suppose i could just keep cutting it down or glue it for now at least until i buy a new one.

Pros: Its Thick

Cons: The edge started coming undone(peeling) right away with little use. -4 eggs waste of $20

Other Thoughts: I suppose i could cut it down little by little since it is so huge, That way i can eliminate the surface from peeling.

Pros: Good surface, REALLY REALLY BIG (pro/con)

Cons: REALLY REALLY BIG (pro/con)

Other Thoughts: Pretty solid, tracks well, not obnoxious looking, very nice for the most part.

I question the durability as one corner of this mouse pad is starting to come apart a bit after 2 weeks of use. Not a huge issue, has no effect on gaming or usability.

This mouse pad is very large, too large for most practical, day to day tasks. I have my mouse on the highest sensitivity available for gaming, so I move my mouse maybe 2 inches at any given time, I don't really need the extra 18ish.

I would say I slightly prefer my old Razer mouse pad, as it was a bit smoother, but this is suitable.

Pros: eSATA / USB 2.0

PATA / SATA compatible

Aluminum Body

Cheap

Cons: As others have stated be careful with the screws, they can be stripped very easy.

Other Thoughts: For the price it is an excellent product and has functioned as stated.

Now stop reviewing this product and buy it, you will not be disappointed. :)

Pros: This thing is massive, when you open the box you'll look at it and go "It didn't look this big... did it?". However this has its advantages. Due to its sheer size you can easily cut this monster up to seamlessly cover any surface you would like to use as a mouse station. I personally use a laptop stand for my keyboards. Some cutting allowed me to perfectly fit this monster over the mouse side of the stand.

Cons: None as long as you have ingenuity.

Other Thoughts: Anyone who needs this thing for one mouse has quite the number of monitors... Using a bit over half of it I can seamlessly scroll across 5 1920x1200 displays...

Pros: good surface, huge

Cons: smells bad
