Razer Goliathus-Speed Medium. Mini-Consumer Review.

My Razer Deathadder gaming mouse has a new pad, as punny as that may be. Woohoo! I didn't realize there are other places selling Razer products in my area other than PCquickbuys, in fact, I was beginning to think that I'd probably never get to purchase a medium sized Razer Goliathus Speed soft fabric mousepad anytime soon. Hohoho I'm a happy kid when I see such an accessory on my desk. As a gamer that has considered investing in premium gaming peripherals (actually, I got this as a Christmas gift before I could find one), I wanted to protect my Deathadder's teflon feet from wear and tear from questionable mouse pads whose purpose are just meant for advertising a certain store or product. You wouldn't want to have your prized frag-dealing instrument worn down by shoddy provisions? Well, I did for a couple of months..good gracious!

Let's skip the specific numbers and just say, the medium sized version is more than enough for your gaming needs. In fact, this thing is twice the size of my previous mouse pad, and sales clerks keep suggesting I purchase the extended version (something twice as large and twice the price or so of the medium version)? My primary reason to want such a mousepad was mainly for protection, but now that I got to test it out in Skyrim and Battlefield 3, this thing boasts silky smooth mouse gliding! I know it's not much for most to have a few jagged feels as you span your mouse across other mouse pads, but this smoothness is kinda addicting. As to those nitty gritty details of making you shoot better or something, I don't exactly feel those game-enhancing changes. Either they're really negligible or I'm not proficient enough to make good use of their strenghts. Another thing worthy of note is the grip it has on the underside, no more mouse pads running amok in your desk! Less excuses to use when you die in a duel. Meh.

The other Razer mousepads are expensive, and I don't really have any idea how those feel in actual use, so I'm not going to go around recommending you not to buy. But if you're considering of buying a premium mouse pad for your premium mouse, then you can consider the Goliathus as a candidate. It's relatively cheap and below the 1000php mark. It's not too shabby at all.
