If you aren’t then feel free to tell me what you’re looking for in a pad, and I’d be happy to help you select one. All recent releases have had rather striking designs printed on the surface, and this one is no different. This gives them way more control over their aim and overall just makes for a more consistent and reliable aiming experience when compared to extremely high sensitivities where it’s nearly impossible to make any micro adjustments to the aiming reticle.

Mousepad designs can get pretty wild, and while some of the bigger brands offer a limited amount of customization (such as adding your gamertag to an existing design) we find InkedGaming to be one of the best brands to look out for if you want a completely custom designed mousepad. Aside from that, this feels just like your regular ZOWIE G-SR-SE at first glance: same size, same box design, no stitched edges. What you’ll see here is that most pros are using fairly large mouse pads, at least when compared to regular office mats.months of medium usage (which means some hours of work and an hour or two of gaming each day in this case, so your mileage may vary) because the accumulated dust, sweat, and what have you managed to influence the glide on the pad. If that sounds a little bit familiar to you, then that’s not strange: it’s very much based on the same design principles as the ZOWIE G-SR-SE.

These pads come in all sorts of different sizes and you can send pretty much any image that you want (as long as it doesn’t go against their TOS, of course) to InkedGaming and they’ll print it on a mousepad. The G-SRhas a remarkable amount of stopping power, so if you tend to overshoot your targets or want to get a bit more control you should definitely take a look at the G-SR. One thing I've noticed is that a lot of cloth pads have XY variance, and the G-SR-SE Rouge is no different. If you’re even a bit serious about your gaming it’s a great idea to get yourself a nice pad to really complete your setup. The surface is on the rougher side (as you’d expect from a control pad) but it feels very consistent, and the same can be said for the foam underneath the playing surface, though more on that later.From the surprisingly smooth feeling but super heavy duty (when it comes to spills and tears) surface to the impressive firmness of the foam underneath: this is a high quality fast mousepad with a very interesting surface. is the fastest, smoothest mousepad I’ve ever used or tested, but do be aware of the fact that there are compromises to be made if you want to experience this type of glide.

I find myself switching between the two depending on what mouse I’m using, but for the EC2-B the G-SR would be a great pairing, in my opinion. The glide that you get is pretty similar to pads like the ZOWIE G-SR-SE and Razer Gigantus V2, so if those pads sound good to you and you want to complete your gaming setup with a unique mousepad then this is a good option. The ZOWIE logo is proudly displayed in a sort of 3D design, and in the corners you get a BenQ logo and a ZOWIE logo.With a thickness of 3mm it’s also unlikely to offend anyone, so all in all this is a great option for fans of hard pads.
