SteelPad 5L Gaming Surface
Introduction & Packaging

So you've just gone out and bought the best mouse available on the market, but your current mouse mat (probably 'borrowed' from work) is hindering its performance.
Enter SteelSeries, manufacturers of the well know SteelPad range of mouse mat...
Today I'll be taking a look at their latest '5L' model, which interestingly isn't made of steel (or any type of metal for that matter), but a combination of cloth, plastic and rubber.

Packaging
All previous mouse mats that I've purchased have normally come wrapped in cellophane, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect from SteelSeries in the packaging department...
The mat is contained within a moulded plastic casing complete with a cardboard sleeve on the front right & back of the packaging. The sleeve gives some basic information about the mat, including what the mat is constructed of and some of the awards it has received. It's also worth noting that 5L isn't just a made up name, but actually stands for '5 Layers'.
Overall the packaging is very functional and allows for potential buyers to see the design that has been printed on the mat, and just how big the mat actually is.
With the combined rigidity of the mat and plastic casing it would be very hard to cause any damage to the SteelPad 5L during transit.
