XTracPads Ripper XL v2 Mouse Mat
Conclusion
Published: 12th August 2007 | Source: XTrac Pads | Price: |
So how do we sum upXTrac Pads Ripper XL mouse mate? Well it's certainly large enough for those who crave extra real-estate and it certainly provides a fast surface to game on. For such a cheap mouse mat it's a no-brainer decision.
To be honest there's not a lot of negatives about the Ripper XL. Admittedly there is the issue that I alluded to earlier in the review with regard to premature fraying/lifting on the end of the mat itself. Plus the fact that the the Razer Mantis feels like it's going to last longer. But for a mere US$13.95 from Sidewinder you really cant go wrong, especially when you're almost paying twice that amount for a mouse mat like my Razer Mantis.
Budget conscious gamers will do well to look at the Ripper XL.

Nice review! I always think its hard to review a mouse mat as it really is down to personal opinion.
the XTrac does look like my Everglide Titan.

If you are looking for a good, budget mouse mat then you really can't go wrong with the XTrac imo.
aah right, so it was just down to the DPI? thats ok, i'll be using 800 dpi with my G7 on it i think. Now just to wait till its back in stock 
800 dpi will be fine mate
