Materials & processing
There are 2 types of mousepads: Hardpads and softpads.
A hard mousepad is usually made of plastic, metal, or glass to provide a smooth, flat surface. Due to the low friction, they are great for gamers or anyone who needs to move their mouse quickly. With the speed and the ultra-smooth surface, it becomes harder to control your mouse precisely. With a hardpad, you can make quick, large movements, but it may take some time to get used to the speed and accuracy. This is especially true if you have only used soft mousepads before. There are textured hard pads that can help to allow more control, and in return, they offer a bit less speed.
A soft mousepad is typically made of fabric and offers some padding. This can make them comfortable to use over longer periods, as you can rest your wrist and hand on it. Most softpads have some friction, so it may be easier to control the mouse precisely.
Depending on the type of surface used, movements on a softpad may be slower, but it will be easier to make small movements with pinpoint accuracy.
The material the surface of the mousepad is made from.
Whether a hard pad or a soft pad, every mousepad consists of a surface and a base. The surface contributes significantly to the characteristics of the mousepad and how it feels during gaming. There are many different materials such as glass, polycarbonate, nylon, or polyester also known as “fabric,” although this is technically an incorrect term.
Every surface can be manufactured or further processed or refined in a certain way. As a result, the mousepad acquires very specific characteristics. For example, a mousepad made of polyester can have an extremely slow or very fast glide speed, e.g., through a coating or a specific weave pattern.
The “foundation” of a mousepad and a very often overlooked component. The base is often the difference between good and great mousepads. They come in several thicknesses & “hardness levels,” and this can play a significant role in the gaming experience. Therefore, in combination with the surface, it decides how the mouse pad ultimately plays and feels. And by the way, it also ensures that the mousepad stays in place & does not slip (at least it should ^^)
A hybrid mousepad is designed to combine the features of hard and soft mousepads. It aims to provide the glide experience of hard pads while maintaining the comfort and control typically associated with soft pads. Hybrid mousepads often use a mix of materials or are specially manufactured. They can also have a unique surface texture that allows for both speed and control, enabling quick mouse movements as well as precise aiming. The mix of materials can also contribute to increased durability. While they are stiffer than a standard fabric pad, hybrid mousepads are generally more comfortable than hard pads and offer a middle ground in terms of wrist comfort and support.
A coating on a mousepad refers to a special surface treatment aimed at modifying the properties of the mousepad. This coating can be applied in various ways to achieve different effects, depending on the specific features the mousepad is intended to offer. For example, a mousepad can be made water-repellent, have a “protected” print, or have significantly improved glide speed, e.g., with a “Glass-Coating (Ice-Coating).” However, it’s important to note that coatings do not last forever and, depending on the intensity of use and the quality of the mousepad, will wear out over time, and the mousepad will no longer possess the same properties.
To better compare mousepads, I have divided them into 7 different speed levels.
From fast to slow:
- High speed
- Fast
- Quick
- Balanced
- Moderate
- Controlled
- High control

Manufacturer's product description
RIZZ
Is the exceptional pad at a world-class level, designed for all games. It’s an ultra-fine microfiber control pad with an edge stitching that lies below the surface of the pad itself.
We use a specially PU base for the underside of which adheres very well to any tabletop surface in the 3.5mm and 4.5mm thickness versions.
Needless to say, we chose this surface and PU combination to provide an outstanding gaming experience at a pro level for our customers worldwide.
This pad is used by S-tier icons in the tactical shooter field.
MICROFIBER SURFACE WITH INCREASED FRICTION RESISTANCE:
This uncoated pro-performance surface is designed for tactical shooter games with maximum control, which will also lead to outstanding performance in games like Valorant and CS. Our goal was to design a surface with a smooth feel and medium staticfriction that provides an extreme stopping point without generating a spongy/muddy feeling or excessive high staticfriction. We’ve managed to create an unprecedented sensation that combines a similarly linear and smoothly textured surface while simultaneously creating an extreme stopping point without losing the ability for precise micro-control movements from the mouse’s resting state. And all of this without generating an initial “sticky” mouse movement feeling on micro movements. The surface provides good feedback to the mouse and hand when using PTFE, glass, or sapphire mouse skates, making it suitable for any type of mouse skates and skate size. Overall, it’s a premium exceptional control pad for daily use in the home office and in matchmaking.
The pad has been tested with various arm sleeves, including very resistant and coarse variants, and has not led to an increase in surface friction against the sleeves or a higher degree of wear on the pad or sleeve. Due to the high pressure on the sub-level edge seam in the 4.5mm thick versions, there may be cases where the edge seam comes loose. This has been observed extremely rarely so far, and while we do not rule it out, it is not a production defect. Due to the special characteristics and the desire for edges that users cannot feel but still match the pad excellently, there is currently no better way to process the edge seam. At La Onda Team, we are always up to date with surfaces, base materials, and edge seams in the mousepad segment, remaining transparent regarding the strengths and weaknesses of individual products.
Cleaning:
PELZ and RIZZ can be cleaned under warm water without using cleaning agents. The material is not suitable for hot water.
Lint rollers can be used to clean the surface, but not the PU.
For more stubborn dirt, we will soon introduce a bio-based cleaning agent (and yes, it will make BELUGA white again đ).

– Soft custom PU base
– Sub surface edge stitching
– Options in 3.5mm and 4.5mm
– Black and Red

To avoid misunderstandings, we want to clarify that the sold pad is not made of PORON! It is NOT marketed or referred to as a PORON pad by us or any third parties. The PU used is referred to by many brands and manufacturers as PORON, but it is NOT the PORON produced by Rogers Corp.
