It was $26, dropped down to $17. It's a giant black mousepad. I hate razers obnoxious branding. I really need one for my office.

Funny, look at big he is making the keyboard seem on it when he says "your keyboard goes on it" at 1:58, hasnt heard of TKL? >_<
-
That was a crazy video, I like the description: "For the price, you and three friends should just buy one and cut it up".
I want to get one, but it'll look crazy on my desk. Maybe I'll just cut it up like he says.
-
Wow seems like a good deal for that much real estate
-
I'll receive it tomorrow night and I'll follow up on it with after some loving. :)
And I guess you could cut it up for you and your friends. :p
-
No...... you want the ripper XXL... 36"w x 18"h that height is very useful....
-
I've been using this Mionix desk mat for a few months now, and still love it over my QCK. Wicked deal!!
-
Way better than frys! Been waiting for them to drop the price. Looks like they lost another sale...
-
Which is better? The XTracPads Ripper XXL (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HTDBWI/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000HTDBWI&linkCode=as2&tag=635816-20) or this Mionix Sargas 900? I think the microfiber on this one might make it too grippy. I use all weights in my mouse.
-
I can't speak for the XTracPads, but I own a Sargas 320 and it's pretty slippery and fast imo. As you very well know, I'm using a Naos 8200 (no weights), but you may have different experiences with a weighted mouse.
My advice would be to buy it and return it if you don't like it :)

I just realized that it'd have to fit on my desk under the stupid legs of my apple studio display CRT, each of which supports 20-30 lbs
-
Your using an apple CRT? -__-
I have been using the mousepad all day long and I really like it. However the edges peel very easy. :(
Maybe Ill try to melt it down or stich the areas where it may be prone to peeling.

Yeah, it's hard for me to find a flat monitor that I can't see "flicker". My apple CRT does 85Hz, which is 5-15 Hz above my flicker threshold (Depending on time of day). I've been told it's the backlight and that I need to visit microcenter when I visit my folks in Boston because theirs is newer and the LED's in the backlight are set to a reasonable PWM rate.
How bad is the peeling? I'm interested to know, as I tend to rest the side of my arm against the edge of these things, making them peel pretty quick if they are prone to it.
-
My Ensis 320 is killer as is my Naos 5400, so this is tempting even though I have no real need for it. I've become a bit of a Mionix fanboy.
-
Pretty bad, I bought two and its the same on both.
I can see the peel becoming very noticeable in a couple more days.
I may return them if I cant get it to stick... :(
The mousepad functions and feels great though! Bummer.
-
The edges on mine are scratchy. I bought a 2nd wrist rest to keep my arm from getting scratched, added benefit is better ergonomics for my fingertip grip.
-
That was a great deal.
Did anyone jump on it?
-
I use an "Artistic Krystal View" desk cover. It makes most of my desk into a mouse pad.
-
Yes I bought one and I was disappointed because it peels easily.
-
That quick? How is is besides that? 17 bucks for a massive deskmat like that must have been a good deal.
I have the Artisan Zero mousepad. It is only 10 bucks on amazon and I think it is great!
