RazerGoliathus Extended Chroma Gaming Mousepad: Customizable Chroma RGB Lighting - Soft, Cloth Material - Balanced Control & Speed - Non-Slip Rubber Base - Classic Black

Very happy with this product. I have a large desk and I use my keyboard and mouse to game. This mat is large enough to accommodate whatever configuration I need. Most importantly, it provides awesome grip and precision for my optical mouse (I use a Razer Basilisk), and good grip for my keyboard (I use a Razer Cynosa Chroma), which now does not shift at all when I'm mashing keys in live combat. Bonus - it looks hella cool with my LED mouse and keyboard. The LED lit edging is not bumpy or raised above the mat, so there is no skin irritation on my wrists or lower arms while using it.I was a bit unsure of purchasing it at first, because of the cost (and I was hoping to find one with graphics on the mat itself), but like all Razer products, it's high quality, and does its jobs very well. If they ever make one with graphics that are based on popular fantasy MMORPGs or fantasy topics/subjects instead of mostly FPS, I'd own one of those, too! The black is super slick though, and looks really good on my desk.As far as cleaning goes, I have Siberian Huskies and their hair often gets stuck on the mats off my sleeves, and it takes some work to get them off. That's not a bad thing though - it's a testament to its grippy nature. I just use a non-shedding type cotton cloth to lightly wipe it off and keep it clean. I've not tried to clean it beyond a surface dusting, so not sure how it will hold up when it needs a more solid cleaning, but I'd doubt I'll have any problems with it.

I've been in need of a good desktop mat for some time now, and finally decided to get something to match my Razer Blackwidow Chroma keyboard and Razer Naga Epic Chroma. It integrated perfectly with Razer Synapse, and got set up alongside my keyboard and mouse with relative ease (some of the chroma effects need a little tweaking to work with the simple border light, but it wasn't too bad). Also, it's pretty huge, but in a good way. It not only fits my keyboard and mouse, but has room for my personal phone and my work phone on the opposite side, which really partitions my desk nicely!Comfort-wise, I'd definitely recommend using it alongside a gel wrist support. The light strip is held on by thin stitching, which looks nice, but it pretty irritating and abrasive on the wrists when they're rested against it bare - almost like itchy rope. The mat itself is really soft and comfortable though, so no complaints there.Dust and dander can be a bit of a pain to brush off because of the soft texture, but I haven't had it long enough to know if this will be any sort of a long running problem. I can't imagine it being a magnet for dirt though since it's a pretty smooth surface for what it is. It did definitely pick some things up within a minute of going down on my clean desk though, so don't expect it to be a spotless black for long at all.All in all, I'm extremely satisfied, but I was already set up pretty nicely to have it ahead of time. Again, I really recommend having a wrist support with this so you don't rub your wrists raw against the stitching, otherwise this is a great desktop accent piece / mousepad!

Before I address the headline, let me say that this is a very fine, very large mouse mat that is excellent in all respects. The surface material is smooth and well suited to gaming, no problems with aiming whatsoever, the lights work as advertised, there seems to have been an issue with programming the lights before, but in my more recent experience, all it takes is downloading the Razer Synapse software, continuing as a guest (no more login needed), setting it to your preferred configuration, and enjoying the light show.On to the headline.The reason that you do NOT want to buy this used is because of the way that the mouse mat is made. The portion of the mat that lights up is similar in material to a glowstick. If it is bended in any sort of unsightly manner, It will be very hard to form it back to a shape that will look appealing on a flat surface. I am in the process of returning my previous purchase.When it is new, it is carefully rolled up into the box, wrapped around a cardboard cylinder, with a thin film wrapped on top of that so that you don't get a mat that is crinkled up at various points.When it is used, it's highly likely to have been handled by a dude getting paid minimum who will pass off all those crinkles as acceptable.Can't blame them, either. I've been there. You may have been, too.But I can't stand such an aesthetically pleasing mat being marred with edges that will not lie flat, instead having raised bumps all around the borders. Do yourself a favour, and just get this thing brand new. It's a beautiful compliment to any desktop setup. Make sure you have the room for it, too!
