Materials & processing
- Type:softpad
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. - Surface material:polyester ("fabric")
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. - Surface details:normal knitting
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.
- Base / Bottom:natural rubber, textured
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 ^^)
- Edge stitched:
- Hybrid:
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.
- Coating:
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.
- Heat-sealed:
- Elasthane:
- Glide-Speed:
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

SENSE THE LIGHT
With Sense™, the AIMO lighting and ecosystem become bigger and better than ever before, for an even more intense experience. Its soft fabric surface is framed by a powerful RGB light guide with two programmable lighting zones. Together with your compatible set of mouse and keyboard, it lets you experience AIMO as it should be – with a trio of powerful devices that immerse you in the world of Ambient Lighting.
Vivid AIMO Lighting
AIMO is simultaneously a lighting and ecosystem, smoothly responding to your inputs and synchronizing with compatible devices for vivid, breathtaking lighting scenarios. The Sense™ AIMO fuels the platform in all its glory with a powerful RGB light guide. Divided into two programmable lighting zones, the colored light can be sent in two different directions – for complex light effects. The fabric-coated cable is detachable. With a flat button, you can easily switch through the different effects.
Premium Fabric Surface
The flexible fabric surface is machine-stitched and designed for high speed combined with optimal control properties. Masterfully made from premium materials, it offers precise tracking on a soft base. Special attention has been paid to the edge area with the light guide. It is sewn with a specially selected pattern to avoid any discomfort or even irritation of the wrist during use. Experience the benefits of a premium fabric surface without having to compromise.
Rubberized, Non-slip Back
The back of a mousepad is often given little attention – though it is one of its most crucial components. Without a solid base, your pad starts to slip, and that’s the last thing you need in a game. To prevent this, the back of the Sense™ AIMO is equipped with an extremely durable material, specifically chosen for its special anti-slip properties. This keeps your pad in place, even in action-packed game sequences.
