Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2010-09-13

These mouse pads from ZOWIE GEAR do not have catchy artwork or fancy features, but offer what any professional gamer would want: very good precision, smooth surface and durability.

A Closer Look Part 1

A Closer Look

Both gaming mouse pads from ZOWIE GEAR come in cardboard protective packaging, to avoid damages during transport; the difference between these two is that the G-TF is rolled inside, to occupy less space, a thing we cannot do with the SWIFT, because it is made of hard plastic:

G-TF Mouse Pad

The G-TF pad is held inside a cardboard box with a grey/black theme; in the center we can see a large ZOWIE company logo:

Also on the same side, we can find a little transparent plastic window through which we can see how the material does look like even without opening the box, the Abdisamad 'SpawN' Mohamed logo and the product name a little down. This product was designed by Counter-Strike legend SpawN, to be a fast, high precision mouse pad, offering close to no friction at all:

On one of the box sides, we can see the product features written in different languages, a photo with the professional gamer SpawN, along with his impressions regarding the product:

The mouse pad is black, does not have any fancy artwork drawn on it and combines the advantages from both worlds: it has a cloth feel, but the mouse moves almost as fast as on a hard plastic surface:

On one of the sides, we can see the red SpawN logo:

On the opposite side, the ZOWIE logo can be found:

Here is a closer look on the fabric; when operating the mouse on it, it seems easier to move than on previously reviewed SteelSeries QcK series. This is a very big plus for people that require a lot of precision with the mouse like Counter-Strike games:

On the back of the product, we can see better the triple-stitched, rolled hem for longevity of pad life, which also prevents wear and tear; also, the non-slip grip rubber base prevents the mouse pad movement, on almost any surface, to maximize precision:
