Consumer review (newegg.com)

NEW review on an old product!!!

This pad has been sitting in my closet for nearly a decade. I could not find a mouse that didn't have precision problems due to it's fenced surface design... until now. Logitech mice using Darkfield laser technology works great on this surface. I've...

Extremely durable

Not good for lasers

The entire surface should've been covered entirely with no holes... The fencing really makes it look like just a piece of side window off your car.

This pad will last the longest above all!!! Has a fairly smooth surface for great control

On my laser mouse the pad surface skips my cursor around a lil due to its fencing design... Makes sense cuz you can see right through close up bettween the fencing... I dont know if it does it on regular optical mice but if it doesnt, this pad rocks

Just buy Teflon skates or tape

The most noticeable difference is applying the type of Teflon tape it came with and using a regular pad so they last longer. As soon as I applied the tape and tried it on my normal pad, right away I found what I was looking for. Teflon tape skates do...

Perfectly flat(cuz its glass)so you can put it on anything w/o bending to raise its height due to tall wrist rests... Compatible with most major laser & opticals... Has great appeal, easy to clean and actually has a warranty

The "branded" surface screen is what ruined what was lookn to be a great product... The surface immediatly starts scratching the Teflon tape it came with and its not quiet or smooth feeling at all... I put my original mouse pad ontop of it and im usin...

Amazing

I highly recommend using the included teflon mouse skatez. The pad is good without them, but with them it is an unstoppable beast.

Glides incredibly smooth and quiet, large but not so big you cant fit it on your desk, tracking and precision is the best I've ever experienced

None really. Some might see the separate rubber base as a con, but you forget all about it once you start gaming

Wow

Works fine on Razor, X7, G7, MX1000, and older optical and ball mouses. My counter strike frags increased by a lot! You wont regret it. Dont waste your money on more expencive glass pads, this one performs just as well, or better.

This mouse pad is very very good ; I used all different pads including aluminum ones and this one just f's them all up in precission and peformance. Once you know you CorePad :)

None

Finally

Is basically just a shaped and decorated piece of automotive grade glass-but for the price and function, its worth the purchase.

Excellent surface and quality feel. Tracks smooth and perfect. Very large ; Easy to keep clean ; Comes with cool mouse skates anti-friction tape to cover your mouse feet

MUST HANDLE WITH CARE---It's glass ; Sometimes my hand sticks to it

Great Product

I love this mousing surface its much better than my ratpad gs, and ratpad original that I used previously.

I love the feel of it, very fast with my logitech g5 mouse. Easy to clean and looks like it will hold up for a long time to come

None, I guess the slip pad could be attached to the piece of glass but I can see cons to that too

Not like any other

This thing is made out of glass. The company says it's 10x stronger, which may be true, but it still needs to be handled with some care.

Cannot be bent or broken under normal usage, very unique as a mousepad design, heavy so it does not move, picks up all tracking (with my MX1000 so far), easy to clean

Seems like it could break if it's taken to LANs if people weren't careful, probably not good for angry gamers

Superb design and quality

In many ways, this mouse pad is a blast from the past. It reminds me of the early mice which used special tracking pads. This mouse pad is a pleasure to use as it is not plastic and does not leave a carcinogenic residue on your hand like many other...

This mouse pad is a great design. It is durable, cleanable, and not made of plastic. I've tried the Logitech G5, MX518, and MX510 and they all track well on this mouse pad

Make sure your desk has space for it. I use mine in a 'portrait mode' so that it fits to the right of the keyboard
