00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:07,040
now I've actually wanted to try this mouse pad for a very long time one of my

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:13,920
co-workers actually has one and swears by it this is the steel Series 5 L and

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:17,800
the 5 l means five and the L means

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:20,359
layers so this is a unique mouse pad in

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:26,800
that it is constructed from both hard and soft materials for a unique gliding

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,679
experience now I'm actually a cloth user

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:32,239
for the most part I I prefer a little bit more friction but but there are

8
00:00:30,439 --> 00:00:35,600
certain things I don't like about cloth like how quickly it wears out and I

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:40,520
think I mean it could be a little bit improved so I've wanted to give this a

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:45,320
try for quite a long time basically how this works is they start with a rubber

11
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:50,280
with rubber junk at the bottom to keep it from slipping around then they have a

12
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:56,559
hard plastic compound as the next layer then the next layer is a

13
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:58,559
soft poly isoprene okay awesome so

14
00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:03,399
that's layer number three and then they have a cloth a durable extremely strong

15
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:08,119
cloth layer just over top of that and last but not least they put a thin

16
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:13,280
plastic coating that gives you the texture of the underlying cloth which is

17
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:18,400
what I like about a cloth Pad but it also gives you in theory the durability

18
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:22,560
of a plastic surface now I'm going to try and get this seal broken here so we

19
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:25,960
can get the mouse pad itself out I realized there's not a whole lot to

20
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:29,280
unbox about a mouse pad but once I've had a chance to game with this one a

21
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:34,720
little bit I'll try and update the video with annotation to give you my thoughts

22
00:01:31,759 --> 00:01:39,399
on it so first of all we find pretty much nothing inside in terms of

23
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,680
accessories hello there and I think oh

24
00:01:39,399 --> 00:01:45,159
here we go we've got a couple things inside with the mouse pad itself so

25
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,439
first of all we have their steel series product guide showcase thing where you

26
00:01:47,399 --> 00:01:54,640
can see other steel series products great and then we have a steel series

27
00:01:51,840 --> 00:02:00,119
sticker professional gaming gear and then we have a piece of paper which

28
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:04,439
seems to oh it covers the aha so this is the

29
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:05,880
rubber like kind of textured it looks

30
00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:11,039
kind of like monkey art you know when they hold the paint and they throw it at the canvas it looks kind of like that so

31
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,720
I've actually used pads with this stuff on the bottom before it works very well

32
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:19,280
for keeping it from slipping around and then let's have a look and here I don't

33
00:02:17,319 --> 00:02:22,440
know how well this is going to show we do have HD but I still don't know how

34
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:27,440
well you're going to be able to see it so you can see we have our rubber junk at the bottom then we have the hard

35
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:32,080
plastic and you can see that's what gives this pad its rigidity is this

36
00:02:29,519 --> 00:02:37,080
thick hard plastic layer then we have like a thick kind of rubbery layer okay

37
00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:42,879
and then we get down to a much thinner cloth layer and then over the whole

38
00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:44,879
thing is kind of a is a plastic coating

39
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:48,519
that's kind of it feels almost like a cloth that's been sprayed with that

40
00:02:46,519 --> 00:02:51,280
waterproofing plastic so I've been looking forward to trying this out for

41
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:57,360
quite a while thank you for checking out my unboxing of the steel series 5l and
