Side by Side Comparison of: SteelSeries vs Jacks Outlet inc

Large, easy to slide, good material, nice neutral design.

What a nice mouse-pad. I used to think that they were a dime a dozen. But this one is just nice and high quality. Super smooth and easy to keep clean. Looks great and is a little on the large side which is a plus for me (no pun intended). I have a SteelSeries mouse and it has no issues with the surface and moves with the grace of a duck on water.Update: I take back the part about cheap, the price has almost doubled from when I purchased it. Still a great pad. But for almost $20, I would not recommend it.

I'm giving this pad 5 stars because it is exactly what I wanted. It's nice and big, plenty of surface for the mouse to move around while gaming. The surface is smooth and glides easily, and the color is a perfect match to the rest of my desk.Be careful of where you order as there are counterfit pads out there. I first ordered from a third party in China. I didn't notice until after I clicked buy and saw the delivery date was estimated to be a month away. I figured I'd just wait as I wasn't in a hurry. Fast forward a few weeks, and what arrived was clearly not right.To skip over some boring drama, I re-ordered the pad and received the correct item. I included some photos comparing the two pads. Since I ended up with a legitimate pad and a knock-off pad, I thought I'd share some tips on spotting a fake:First, the most important and obvious way to tell if it is legitimate is the packaging. The real SteelSeries pad comes rolled up in a clearly branded box. The fakes come flat in a clear plastic sleeve with no discernible labeling.Second, and probably the last place you'll look: The rubber backing on the pad will have the SteelSeries logo embossed in the rubber. If it does not, it's fake!Third, you can clearly see that the size is wrong. The knock-off is printed on a standard 9x7 generic mousepad sheet, it is not the larger gaming sized pad that SteelSeries normally produces.Lastly, the color of the real SteelSeries pad is vibrant orange. The knock-off is a dull muted brown by comparison, but based on some other reviews it seems that the fakes are very inconsistent in their coloring.

I love this mousepad! I've had a couple SteelSeries mousepads before, and each one has lasted years of heavy use. I got this one after my last one started to wear down, and man is it awesome. Not only is the design of this one sick, but the thickness and softness of it is fantastic. It's like gaming on a cloud. It's comfortable for my wrist to rest on, and smooth enough for the track on my mouse to glide with ease. It's large enough for quick and wide movements. I love this mousepad, it's tough and has not worn down even after a year of daily use. I highly recommend this mousepad if you're looking for a comfortable, durable mousepad.Pros:- It's tough and long-lasting- Easy mouse movements- Cool designs- Large enough for serious gamingCons:- I seriously could not find any

I bought this mouse pad on sale, so it was a great value. The mouse pad was a lot larger than I actually thought it was, which was not a bad thing. The larger surface area allows me more freedom in moving my mouse around, and I've never had any issues with accuracy on my mouse. The pad also has really good grip and it hasn't moved out of place on my desk since I first placed it there. The orange design makes it stand out/more unique and makes my desk look a lot more interesting. Will definitely recommend for anybody looking for a quality mouse pad, gamer or not.

Didn't think there was much to mousepads. Honestly, I always thought "Gaming mouse pads? Please. A mouse pad is a mouse pad."After finally caving in to curiosity, I finally bought this "gaming" mouse pad to go with my new mouse and let me tell ya: Wow.I had no idea a mouse pad engineered for gaming could feel so much nicer than your run-of-the-mill $3 pads. Everything about it is great. The smooth yet textured top, the incredibly grippy rubber bottom (this thing wont go anywhere once you put it down) and its overall size even! I like that it leaves you plenty of space to maneuver.I was a skeptic about gaming mouse pads until I got one of my own. They really do make a difference, and with high sensitivity mice, they seem to help it track better. I don't regret this purchase at all.

I just received the stained glass flower petal one and I must say it is just as bright and colorful as the photo I like it!

I'm very pleased with this mouse pad. It looks & works beautifully. I would buy it again. The only thing I would say is I probably would buy the rectangular version next time because it's a little larger & I find myself occasionally going to the edge & being out of room.

I LOVE this mouse pad! I work in a boring office and am always looking for subtle ways to liven it up. This is beautiful but not distracting. I've had it for a few months now and I do not notice signs of wear. The bottom is anti-skid which is nice. The edges have not frayed, which happens with other pads. I will note that the colors are lighter than pictured. The edges aren't black -- they are a deep green.I bought this to match my mouse - Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 Limited Edition Artist Series - Olofsdotter (GMF-00376) (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E1G6RA6?redirect=true&ref_=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_19).

Great mouse pad! I really love the design and the fact that it's round. Looks just like the picture and I've had no problems. Gives my work place a bit of a personal touch as well!

This is a bit spendy for a mouse pad, but I wanted to jazz up my desk from the old black pads. This thing is beautiful...just like the picture. I'm not sorry I splurged...treat yourself and get you one.

It added the perfect spark of color I needed to make my office, well my own.The colors pretty much look the same as in the generic photo in my opinion, maybe a little duller, but nothing serious. The size is pretty average, the photo made it seem larger, so I attached a picture of my own. I have a standard size Dell mouse.I actually attempted to do a color scheme based on the colors in mouse pad. (It half worked, but I am not an expert on this stuff- I did have fun doing the DIY pintrest stuff and painting though and I totally suggest it for your own office area!)

Good Mousepad, Have Constantly Used it Since I purchased it on Oct 11, 2015(Today is Apr 4, 2017.) I much prefer the SteelSeries QcK Heavy Gaming Mouse Pad in terms of feel, but this product doesn't collect dirt and things as much as the heavy variant, so I have been using it up until this day.

Like this!

My laser mouse is a little finicky with this mouse pad. I have to keep my mouse away from the darker areas of the logo. Otherwise my mouse will shut down and stay asleep until I drag it over the brighter ink/ lower right side of the mouse pad. The material is thin, comfortable and well made.

Bought this as a gift for my cousin and he loves it. He's a very hardcore PC gamer.

Nice large mouse pad. I have never run off the side of this mouse pad as I have with smaller pads. This is actually the second one of these that I have bought and they seem to be very durable in the time I have used them.

4/5 because it is small. it does have just enough surface but being used to larger pads this just fits my needs.Surface is awesome for those of us who use the mice with lots of DPI as it gives you that mild roughness to stop the mouse and not have it go so fast that you have to reconfigure your DPI settings.Seems pretty durable.Would buy again

Colors are true and the size is nice.

Very nice

Colors are less vivid than the photo but still beautiful! The mouse makes the scale a bit deceptive but the description is accurate in that it's 8" in diameter. Must be a mini-mouse in the photo. :)

Beautiful. The only thing was that it had a funky smell that lingered into a week. I guess all the chemicals used for the paint.

My son doesn't use it because it's too big for his desk.

ok

I really expected this mouse pad to last a little longer, but then again, I use them in a control room environment, meaning that there are mice moving on them 24/7/365, so for the price, I can't complain.

I liked it alot. Probably one of my favorite mousepads to date. However, after a month or 2, the sides started fraying. And that frustrated me, having fabric hit my wrist occasionally.I'd try the logitech g-pad. Its worked better for me.

The product came crushed along with the packaging being ripped open. Otherwise it's a great pad that feels durable yet soft. Just order it somewhere else.

I got this as a gift and when the person didn't want it and I saw I'd lose half the cost to ship it back, I kept it. It's a good cloth mouse pad that's huge, but a mouse pad that works well is a mouse pad that works well. It didn't make me a better gamer or better with the ladies. :-)

Pretty design. Unfortunately the edges of the design are coming up off the mouse pad which is giving it a worn and old look after only a few weeks. The price is now much lower than what I paid...almost half!

It's pretty but not worth the $18 bucks you pay after shipping, And that was a cyber Monday deal.

Looked faded on the corner when I obtained it entire left side seems to have fading and the edges are fringe..

It doesn't look as good in the picture

its not thick like most mouse pads and it is larger than a standard mouse pad

I did not realize the intimate feminine patterning before purchase. Looks like someone sat naked on e photocopier.

Very pretty but has a strong rubber smell that is not going away after 3 days. I'm going to leave it in a well ventilated area and see if that helps.

Not sure If I received the wrong one or not but it says heat orange on the plastic. It is not orange by any means, its red. It does not look like the picture here on amazon. I only bought this pad because it was supposedly orange but this is not the case.

Looks like the seller sent me a fake product... (I'm almost positive that it is fake, printing is low quality and the steel series logo is off.

Apparently the surface of this one is worse than my wooden ikea desk. Tested with Corsair Vengeance M65 mouse

This mousepad left an oil like stain on my desk!
