The Tt eSports team at Thermaltake have come out with a new mousepad line named Pyrrhus. The mousepads will come in three different sizes for gamers who have different space requirements:

1. 440mm by 350mm
2. 360mm by 300mm
3. 280mm by 210mm

The pads are very thin at just 2mm but feature a rubberised base for strong grip and a synthetic fiber material on top that’s easy to clean (can be hand-washed) and enables precise tracking for all types of sensors.

The mousepads have initially been listed in Taiwan already but should go on sale across the rest of the world shortly.

Games love every advantage they can get. The need the precise DPI that works best for their mouse and demand the fastest response times. Mousepads have been designed to make mice move across them with improved control while moving faster. This helps aid reaction times in games and could even help you out in more everday applications like Photoshop where high-sensitivity is needed.

The mousepad we’re looking at today is from ZOWIE who you may not have heard of until very recently when we looked at their gaming mouse, though they are certainly hoping to change this in a big way. Their products could currently be classed as a bit more up-market compared to others as they are concentrating on design, performance and build quality. That said, they have no choice but to give you good value for money, so we already expect quite a lot from their products.

Features:

• The speed edition of the popular G-TF – faster than ever
• Newly designed rubber base for increased stability
• Liquid resistant surface allows for easy maintenance
• Triple-stitched edges preventing fray and increases the lifetime of the pad
• Rolled edges for added comfort while playing
• 100% compatible with all types of mice
• Perfectly oversized for gamers & designers: 440 x 320 x 2 mm / 17.3 x 12.6 x 0.08 inch

The gamerPRO product range incorporates four mousepads in total ranging from the basic that we’re looking at today, ESL version which as we can see simply includes the Electronic Sports League logo, XXL version and XXL ESL version which includes the same as its smaller brother.
