The guide to choosing your mouse pad

The mouse pad is an often-overlooked accessory, yet it plays a crucial role in your comfort, accuracy, and even your gaming performance. Whether you're a competitive gamer, a creative player, or simply looking for a comfortable setup, choosing the right mouse pad makes all the difference. Here's the ultimate guide to help you find the one that suits your style.

The size of your mouse pad

First of all, you need to define the ideal size of your mouse pad based on your desk, your setup and especially your playing style.

• XXL / Extended : This size covers a large portion of your desk and allows you to place both your keyboard and mouse. It's the ideal choice for gamers who enjoy the large, sweeping movements typical of competitive FPS games. Bonus: It gives your setup a very clean look, especially with incredible designs like those on our Assassin's Creed Shadows mouse pads, for example.

• Size M / Classic : More compact, often rectangular or square, it suits the majority of players and offers the best value for money. Perfect if you alternate between different types of games.

• Small size : practical for small setups or for wrist players with high sensitivity. Ultra easy to carry, it is also an ideal ally on the go or at LAN parties.

The surface: speed or control?

The top layer of a mat is critical to your comfort and performance.
Two main families exist:

• Speed ​​Surface : Smooth, fluid, and fast. Perfect if you're looking for speed and responsiveness in fast-paced games.

• Surface Control : slightly rough, it offers better grip for more precision, ideal for games where every pixel counts.

Ergonomics and durability

A carpet wears out quickly if you don't pay attention to its quality. To maximize its lifespan:

• Favor sewn edges which prevent fraying.

• Check for a non-slip base for added stability.

• Choose a comfortable thickness if you spend hours playing or working.

👉 Alternative: Rigid mats are starting to gain traction within the community. Ultra-durable and ultra-smooth, they don't offer the comfort of a textile mat over long sessions, but they do offer unparalleled glide.
