SteelSeries PUBG QcK Gaming Surface - Large Cloth Miramar - Optimized for Gaming Sensors - Maximum Control

Comment

Great addition to my set up and very smooth so my mouse moves effortlessly on it. I recommend it to my friends because it’s an awesome gaming surface. Update: so unfortunately the lower left corner of mouse pad has stopped lighting up. I was on a long gaming session that day and I took a lunch break and when I returned my purple color I had was now green. After restarting my computer, plugging and un plugging the usb connection and even re installing the Steelseries engine app the bottom left corner would not color match the rest of the mouse pad. Zone 1 and 2 were set to purple and it would light up red and pink. Still 5 stars because amazon refunded me the money and I just re ordered it because I feel my gaming pad was just defective somehow.

(QcK+ Limited) (UPDATE: After a long while with this pad, the edge that I keep my wrist near started curling upward. The stitching is still there but the pad, itself, is curling up on the edge. I decided to turn it around and use the opposite side but then that side did the same thing after a while. I havent found any way to fix this issue beside putting heavy things on the edge Im not using, use the other side and then turn it again after it starts to bother me. Still not really sure what is even causing that issue in the first place) After opening up the box, it was rolled (as most cloth pads are) but not extremely tight so it flattened out well almost instantly. As for the pad itself, it is very thin so be sure if you are getting this to use it on a surface that is totally flat. A part of my desk had a bump I had to sand down to make it flush with my desk since my mouse had a difficult time running over it without the cursor freaking out a bit. The pad is very large. If you are very particular about how your setup is presented, make sure you had a wide desk. If you dont have a very wide desk and do not mind your keyboard being over part of the pad, I would suggest going through with buying this. There is more surface area covered (even with the keyboard partially over about two inches of it) that it will be impossible for me to run out of room to move my mouse. Tracking hasnt given me any issue. As with all cloth pads, this will collect little specks fairly easily. The texture is very smooth and the mouse glides over it well. Coming from years of using hard pads, I was hesitant to purchase a cloth pad because I can be pretty obsessive about small details and hard pads generally fit the bill for being able to move easily with little effort. However, this pad has definitely changed my outlook and find that more precise movements work much better for me on it. Overall, a great pad. Plenty of room to move your mouse without needing to worry about it going over an edge, nice smooth texture, stitched edges and the unboxing process was a lot better than I imagined for how tightly rolled most cloth pads seemed to be with other people claiming to put it back in the box rolled the other way to fix it. The only reason I am not giving it five stars is because I do think it is a little too thin and will cause problems for anyone with any imperfections on whichever side of the desk you would be using this pad on. However, I dont think many people have this issue.

I got a hard steel series pad so I could use my mouse on my couch. It worked great, until my cat discovered it. Now I can only use about 2 inches of it, luckily the surface works well with my steelseries mouses hi dpi setting.

There is a lot to like about this mousepad, but every last bit of it is overshadowed by the fact that the thing simply wont stay where I want it. The thing slides around my desk like its on wheels! I even went so far as to rough up the surface of my desk with 80 grit sandpaper to try and keep it stationary. In fact, this will be my last Steelseries. Previously I owned two QcK (original version) and though they did not suffer from this particular issue (after being broken in, anyway) both of them had severe warping on the right side of the pad, likely due to hand warmth. Update: After two months the thing has finally stopped sliding around **as much** but its still a pain. Oh, and the aforementioned warping issues I had with previous SteelSeries mats? Just started again in this one. Downgrading rating from 3/5 to 2/5.

SteelSeries QcK Limited (with stitched edge) This mousepad is so incredibly smooth, you can feel a speck of dust under your wrist if you move across one. Seriously. For me that means occasionally hitting it with some canned air, but I like being reminded how phenomenal the mousepad is. A gamer tip under any circumstances: Play with a relaxed hand and wrist, and youll be more precise in your movements. With this mouse pad that means youll probably need to lower your DPI a fair amount. I went from the range of 950 - 1450 (razer cloth mousepad), down to the range of 400 - 850 (depending on individual "in game" setting capabilities) with this QcK mousepad. Two things I think are important: Make sure the plastic "skates" (gliders on the bottom of your mouse) arent so scratched up that theres edges protruding. If there is edges, sand those skates with 2000 grit paper, then rub the pads on leather to get the slick back. Or just rub it for a while on a piece of leather until the grooved edges are gone. Next would be getting the stitched edge. It doesnt matter what company made it, the fabric will peel up from the friction of your wrist- IF its only glued on. Thats just how it works. Some peel faster than others, but they all peel eventually. Get the stitched edge so you have less to worry about. Its worth the little bit more youll pay, and it adds a good reference point, when using a low DPI with big swipes.

The smell was unbearable right out of the box. It didnt have the expected new rubber/fresh from the factory smell that a lot of mousepads tend to have. It smelled like gasoline and some other sort of toxic mixture which filled up my room, and transferred to my hands after touching it. The mousing surface is also different from the QCK+ and the QCK Heavy and is far too slick with not enough stopping power to it. I was willing to overlook the non-stitched edges to get what I thought would be a much larger and better qck+ but this is a huge disappointment. I will be returning it due to the smell alone.

Strictly as a mouse pad, this SteelSeries QcK mouse pad is great. It doesnt take up a lot of real estate on my desk, yet provides a more-than-adequately large area to move my mouse on (for years, Ive used mouse pads that were HALF this size and they were adequate). In fact, I looked and looked all over the internet for a mouse pad that would actually fit on my small desk (without crowding out my long keyboard) and this one was the smallest-width RGB mouse pad I could find (12.6" wide by 10.8" deep). The micro-woven cloth surface works precisely and perfectly with my laser mouse (It also feels amazing to the touch). The product description calls this a "gaming surface" rather than a "mouse pad" and is quite worthy of that sophisticated term. The USB cord connects ON THE SIDE of this mouse pad and is comparatively small and very low profile, so it never interferes with your mouse cord—a VERY big plus. This connector is unobtrusive, very tastefully done and unique among RGB mouse pads. The USB cable is permanently attached, so you cant unplug it at the pad connection. There is also no USB pass-thru to attach other devices, but these are minor issues (especially in light of the amazing RGB color show you get). The connection has a tastefully embossed SteelSeries logo on it, not a huge, ugly, printed logo in the bottom corner like so many mouse pads have. The only problem I had with the QcK was that under normal use, it slipped around a fair amount. I fixed this problem by placing two small strips of double-sided tape on the back; now its perfect. As an RGB mouse pad, the SteelSeries QcK is extremely simple—works right out of the box. Just plug it into a USB port and it lights up colorfully and brilliantly—no software to install or download. There are only 2 "zones," Not 50 million or some other ridiculous number like some other mouse pads have. This 2-zone system, however, doesnt in the least diminish the impressive light show you get. It lights up with purple at the top of the mouse pad, then circulates counterclockwise, turns to orange, then red, yellow, green, cyan, and blue, then back to purple and repeats; all this while flowing very smoothly in a counterclockwise direction. In addition, the LED strip is located to the sides of the mouse pad, making it easier to see and brighter than an LED strip that is hidden underneath the mouse pad (which creates more of a "backlighting" effect). There are no buttons for options and no software-based control over the colors or other options (such as speed, direction, pulsation, brightness, etc.), which is all right by me since I dont need (or want) a PhD just to know how to control the colors on a mouse pad. This circulating, color-shifting looks very impressive and if you keep your mouth shut about the simplicity of the 2-zone RGB lighting, some people might actually think you had to spend several days in complicated driver software to program these effects. Even in daylight conditions, this mouse pad looks amazing and its all a "no-brainer." With the Rainbow Wave setting on my Corsair K55 RGB keyboard and the flashing multicolor RGB setting on my Gskill Ripjaws MX780 mouse (the most awesome-looking mouse in the world), and this SteelSeries QcK RGB mouse pad, the light show on my desk looks totally awesome; in the dark its mind-blowing. Friends and other visitors are very impressed by this SteelSeries QcK, but perhaps a little intimidated. They keep asking me where the mode buttons on the QcK are and to pull up the control software to see how complicated it looks, but I keep denying them their requests. If they only knew how simply this mouse pad lighting works, they wouldnt believe it! And they would have killed me and I wouldnt have written this review.

I have used an optical mouse for several years now and for a few of those years, I just used it directly in the surface of my keyboard tray until the "wood grain" pattern started to wear off which left a poor surface for the laser to react to. I then made a DIY mouse pad by printing a pattern on regular paper which I then put into a vinyl sheet protector. This worked very well until the sheet protector started to warp and become "cloudy" as a result of the mouse passing over it repeatedly. I had been looking at large mousepad options for a while. I wanted one that would cover the entire surface of my keyboard tray which is approximately 27" by 17" but, the only ones that would do that would need to be cut down in size. As much as the larger mousepads cost it would be foolish to cut them into a smaller size and void any warranty (the warranty issue is something I didn;t even think about until I contacted Steelseries to see if the XXL version without a stitched edge could be cut down without any issues of separation between the fabric and the foam backing and they did not recommend cutting it because it voids the warranty). This large sized pad (which is roughly 17" by 15") seems a nice compromise. When I was using my DIY solution I would have trouble when going too close to the top and the mouse would get caught on the edge which is why I wanted one that would cover the 17-inch space from front to back on my keyboard tray. The only reason I wanted to also go from edge to edge was purely for aesthetics and while this mouse pad does not cover the entire area I wanted it to it does everything else it is needed to do. I give this 4 stars rather than 5 as the logo on the corner seems as though it can wear off rather easily (this is based mostly on visual observation and a little bit on running my fingers over the logo). I could remedy this by having the corner with the logo at the back edge of my keyboard tray rather than at the front edge but, I prefer having it where I will actually see it. As many reviews for larger mousepads state, it does not lay completely flat when you initially take it out of the box. However, there does not appear to be any major buckling or any sort of "hump" that some people seem to have with larger mousepads. The biggest potential problem with a fabric covered mouse pad has to do with liquids and stains but, I knew this before I even decided to make the purchase. Unless you want a different sized mousepad (be it larger OR smaller) I think you would be happy with this product. Very nice mousepad! Excellent surface for an optical mouse

SteelSeries QcK+ Review Excellent large format mouse pad. It is very thin and floppy and as such needs a solid surface. The material is a soft-ish foam, similar to croakies glasses holders. The bottom of the pad is a textured rubbery surface to prevent slippage. The size is perfect for never having to worry about the edge of the pad. All of my optical mouses perform flawlessly without any tracking issues (Logitech G5, G500, G600 and MX-mini). I find the price to be perfect. I buy a new one every other year or so just for cleanliness. They hold up well. It is just a bit thinner than the Xtrack Ripper XL pad, which I am also a fan of.

Showing 1-8 of 9,620 reviews...of all their products, not the exact thing I bought though. I bought one of these back when, I love it, kept a can of Pledge by it, and we had a good time making E-sports a thing for ya yoots. I like that I can buy the hard one again. Id love to review this pad I bought again and used the previous for years as a gamer...but the reviews are combined for all and I wont tolerate that at this point. If you like the Hard, buy the hard. I dont like the cloth so I wont buy the cloth again. This HARD pad is just what I instantly remember over the decades. And Pledge. I like em fast...sorry you like the cloth ones...not a fault of those
