RAZER Destructor Professional Gaming Mat

Pros: Alright, so after having mouse pads which I previously owned wear out on me after heavy fps gaming over the course of 6 months or so I decided to go with a Razer pad or an Icemat pad. I finally chose this one due to the reports of excellent tracking especially optimized for laser mice like my G9. I was also looking for a pad that had better longevity or durability since my previous expensive pads (Q-PAD) wore out rather quickly and ate up my mouse feet. I was told the destructor not only had better tracking than most other pads out there but that the durability was good too. Well in my 2 month experience of owning mine I can definitely tell you that the tracking from my G9 is quite superb. The feel of the mouse moving over the pad is very very comfortable, although slightly slick for the first week of use but did not hurt performance at all. I love this pad for the improvement on the tracking, even over my more expensive QPAD which I liked as well. You want accuracy? This PAD does help

Cons: For the cons now...in my two months using the pad with my logitech g9 I have noticed that the durability of this pad is just about the same or worse than my old QPAD XT-R. The middle of the pad has worn down quite a bit after not even two full months of FPS gaming. I am rather disappointed with this. I am using the stock feet on my G9 and will be upgrading to hyperglides however I thought the pad would last longer than this, as I imagine it will only be playable for maybe another month or two. If I'm lucky heh. However, the wear down of the pad I noticed does not hurt performance nearly as much as a harder plastic pad would like the XT-R. Once the wear started with that pad, it was toast. Movement became more sensitive in places where not used as much, and would hit the brakes when I re-centered it. So this destructor pad still tracks very accurately but the center of the pad is quite noticeably beginning to make mouse movement more sluggish.

Overall Review: Durable mouse pads seem hard to come by, yet I see some people commenting on how they have had the same pad for years and it still works fine. Hard to believe as I've been through 2, this being my 3rd gaming pad but my favorite overall. Maybe the G9 feet have something to do with the wear of mouse pads since they are so large compared to other mice. The stock G9 feet are bad imo. Final few notes here, I do love this pad and it is easily my favorite out of the few gaming pads I've owned and cloth pads. People say laser mice skip more than Optical mice. Maybe true, maybe not but I do know this pad holds up to it's statement of "35% or more increase in tracking ability with laser mice compared to other gaming pads." I noticed a difference right away when I started using it. And btw, to the person asking what we did to our pads to cause the wear. Strictly FPS gaming, no abuse, regularly cleaned with soft cloth. Took care of it and still am. Overall still worth buyin. Icemat and laser = bad

Pros: very nice pad but doesnt last long.

Cons: when i first got this pad it was perfect, amazing pad, but after about 2 months of playing fps games (about 6hrs per day) its starting to wear out in the middle so it needed replacement after just 2 months :/, very nice pad but its not possible to buy a new pad every 2 months, so its not worth it for hardcore gaming.

Overall Review: None
