We've
reviewed quite a few gaming products from Everglide. Everything from mats
to gadgets to
keep your mouse in its place. What struck my about the press release for their
new Gaming Mat is that this particular mat is flexible like a normal mouse pad
but it isn't made out of the ordianary materials found in mouse pads (mice pads?).
What is also really neat about this product is that the mats come with pictures
on them. Pretty cool way to set off your gaming area I thought. I wanted to know
what material they were using with this new product and if I should consider replacing
my solid plastic gaming surfaces.
First
Impressions
When
I pulled the mat out of it's manilla envelope I was treated to something by UPS:
a dogeared corner! The envelope has bubble lining on the inside so I have to wonder
if a shipping method that works great with mats like the Giganta needs to be revised
for this mat. Take heart though - laying it overnight between two heavy books
fixed the problem right away.
The
unit I requested was the "cyborg". I think I picked it because it was
the most menacing of the bunch. Of the five styles I didn't see one that would
look silly on someone's desk. The available styles are "special ops"
- pictured at right - "cyborg", "asian swords", "celtic
arms", or "the works" which is the other one that I thought would
be really neat.
