SteelSeries SX Mouse Mat
Packaging & Contents
Published: 29th June 2007 | Source: SteelSeries | Price: |
When my SX review sample arrived, it was pleasing to see that the product was sufficiently protected. The pad itself was surrounded by a strong plastic case which is in turn inserted into a cardboard wrapper. As you’ll see below, this wrapper displays a clear message that this is a “pro-gaming” mouse mat. The design on the front of the wrapper was clear and caught the eye quickly. It’s so pleasing to see a company actually keeping things simple without bombarding us with endorsements from gamers, quotes from reviews or technical details all over the front cover. This design I felt was extremely effective because it has been kept simple.
Around the back of the packaging everything is again kept neat and tidy. There is a brief description of the product in a number of languages, a small overview of who SteelSeries are and a number of logos from affiliated gaming teams. The good news here is that these teams are all very well know in the Counter Strike 1.6 & Source scenes, which will undoubtedly create awareness of the SX in the gaming community.

I don't think the pad has been released yet in the UK so price is to be tba. However the marketing I received with the pad stated that it was aimed at the "pro gamer" and as a result would be priced at the higher end of the market.
nice review.
hopefully these alu mats will last longer than the old ones as mine (4S) wore out within 5-6months
I also laugh at this "pro gamer" "pc enthusiast" etc marketing.

Nice review Was contemplating getting a new gaming mouse mat and recently looking into the Razer eXactmat, but this one looks great too. Just hopefully not *to* expensive.

I have some images somewhere.
I know some people like hard mats, but to spend so much on something that only lasts a few months is a waste imo.
- It was cold
- It was hard and uncomfortable
- It had no friction (you need a little at least)
- It cost me loads in teflon strips
- It wore out and went shiney within 5months

My Icemat has lasted me bloody ages (at least a 1.5yrs) and even after trying other pads I always come back to it as the most comfortable for me
It`s a great review, in something I`m clearly never hopefully gonna be in the market for.
`Hopefully` cos they`ve stopped making the trackballs I use and there is no clear general purpose replacement out there atm
Gotta be wholey important for the avid fps game tho I can appreciate.
