This month, while reviewing Razer’s Orochi V2, he was accompanied by a mouse pad as a bonus. Thin, hard and very slippery, this mouse pad is obviously made to match the Orochi V2. I don’t normally like hard-surfaced mouse pads, I’m more for fabric surfaces. But the Sphex V3 has a few very obvious advantages, which can be an alternative even for those who like fabric pads.
One of these features is the subtlety of the Sphex V3. With a thickness of only 0.4mm, it is one with the surface you apply. For example, a piece of duct tape that you’re going to stick on your desk is only as thick. This is especially important so that the edge of the pad does not disturb you. Since the fabric pads are too thick and the edges wear out as you rub the handle, we usually use them in a very large size so that they cover the surface completely. But with the Sphex V3, it’s only 27cm x 21.5cm in size. If your mouse movement is longer than that when you play, it also has a large height of 45cm x 40cm.
Another feature of the Sphex V3 is the special adhesive surface applied underneath. It sticks very tightly to the surface you put in, so it’s still in place while you play. But you can remove it at any time without leaving a trace, apply it elsewhere. I don’t know how many sticks this sticky stick can withstand, but I’ve dismantled it four or five times, so as long as the surface you apply is clean.
The mouse pad is of course a very personal choice subject, the Sphex V3 is a quality and very useful polycarbonate mouse pad that you can use comfortably for many years if you want a fast and dynamic grip rather than a slow and controlled grip.
