BEST GAMING MOUSEPADS

While you may think that picking a gaming mousepad is all about size and aesthetics, there is in fact much more to it.
First of all, you have to check the type of surface, a smoother surface is good for fast-paced games, while a rougher surface provides more precision.
Second, you have to consider the material, e.g. cloth vs plastic. Cloth is typically cheaper and more versatile across different types of games. Choose something that is easy to clean (washable cloth, or waterproof material).
Thickness is also important to consider, a thicker pad is more comfortable during long gaming sessions. Some wrist support may also aid in adding comfort.
Finally, in terms of size, of course you need to choose something that fits your desk space, but aiming for a larger pad will give you more room for mouse movement.
Below are some of the best gaming mousepads on the market, ordered by increasing price (prices are in US$ and may vary depending on current promotions and availability). Please make sure that you also check our regularly updated News & Deals section for limited-time offers.
