Razer are big heavyweights in the peripherals scene, and this is immediately apparent as the Goliathus comes out swinging. Named for its size this beast will cover the entirety of your desk and then some. If you’re the type to surround yourself with RBG everything, this bad boy boasts a device sync system that ensures you don’t find weird colour clashes when you bring the Goliathus into the colour party.

For those wanting a hard surface to game on, the Logitech G440 is hard to beat. While hard pads have a reputation for ‘being a bit slippy’, Logitech have gone all out to make sure the G440 stays entirely put throughout even the toughest of sessions.

The Steelseries QcK is the champion amongst budget, no-frills attached mouse pads. If you’re looking for a well made piece of fabric to stick on your desk and not interfere with your gaming experience, then boom, look no further. You’ve found it.

The Corsair MM1000 Qi stands out for having either the most ridiculous, or best, addition to mousepads since their invention. The inclusion of a Qi charging port, and the adapter to allow non-Qi devices to charge from the mousepad, bear the marks of genius that borders on insanity. It’s clever, compact, and potentially incredibly useful, but this all pales in comparison to the cool factor of charging a phone on your mousepad.

We get it, once the rig has been set up, you never want to leave. Eating, drinking, occasional sleeping will all happen at your desk if you use it often enough. Making sure the trio of good times doesn’t leave a stain the Cooler Master MP510 is your go-to for simple, long-lasting, mousepad goodness. If you’re clumsy, look no further, this is the mousepad for you. The glow in the dark logo seals the deal.

The second Razer offering on our list, the Sphex V2 is the opposite of the Goliathus. This sleek, sexy piece of material stands out through its ability to blend right onto your desk in a seamless fashion. You’d be hard-pressed to find a thinner pad, and your wrists will thank you. It doesn’t look half bad either.

The Logitech G240 plays most nicely with a matching Logitech mouse but has no issues playing with mice from all over the place. It’s not trying to be anything it’s not. It’s a solid piece of fabric that you can slap down on your desk and never think about again. If simplicity is what you’re after, this is it!

The Corsair MM800 is a gorgeous, colourful addition to any set-up. It’ll sync up with the rest of your colour scheme through Corsair’s CUE2 interface to make sure your pride and joy looks excellent from tip to toe. An ability to choose cloth or a micro-textured fabric for the material used ensure you’ll be as happy as possible with your final product. Corsair has a solid reputation for excellent RGB implementation too, so you can trust you’re in good hands.

The Razer Firefly V2 takes a simple approach towards improving your game, alongside the excellent RGB you know and love. Through the inclusion of a simple cable catch Razer show themselves t0 have the consumer in the forefront of their mind. It’s easy to look at mousepads and add a series of bells and whistles with no practicality, but a cable catch is a clever solution to an annoying problem.
