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

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

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:17.800
the 5 l means five and the L means

00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:20.359
layers so this is a unique mouse pad in

00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:26.800
that it is constructed from both hard and soft materials for a unique gliding

00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:28.679
experience now I'm actually a cloth user

00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:32.239
for the most part I I prefer a little bit more friction but but there are

00:00:30.439 --> 00:00:35.600
certain things I don't like about cloth like how quickly it wears out and I

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

00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:45.320
try for quite a long time basically how this works is they start with a rubber

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:50.280
with rubber junk at the bottom to keep it from slipping around then they have a

00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:56.559
hard plastic compound as the next layer then the next layer is a

00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:58.559
soft poly isoprene okay awesome so

00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:03.399
that's layer number three and then they have a cloth a durable extremely strong

00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:08.119
cloth layer just over top of that and last but not least they put a thin

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:13.280
plastic coating that gives you the texture of the underlying cloth which is

00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:18.400
what I like about a cloth Pad but it also gives you in theory the durability

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

00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:25.960
can get the mouse pad itself out I realized there's not a whole lot to

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

00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:34.720
little bit I'll try and update the video with annotation to give you my thoughts

00:01:31.759 --> 00:01:39.399
on it so first of all we find pretty much nothing inside in terms of

00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:40.680
accessories hello there and I think oh

00:01:39.399 --> 00:01:45.159
here we go we've got a couple things inside with the mouse pad itself so

00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:49.439
first of all we have their steel series product guide showcase thing where you

00:01:47.399 --> 00:01:54.640
can see other steel series products great and then we have a steel series

00:01:51.840 --> 00:02:00.119
sticker professional gaming gear and then we have a piece of paper which

00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:04.439
seems to oh it covers the aha so this is the

00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:05.880
rubber like kind of textured it looks

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

00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:14.720
I've actually used pads with this stuff on the bottom before it works very well

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

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

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

00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:32.080
plastic and you can see that's what gives this pad its rigidity is this

00:02:29.519 --> 00:02:37.080
thick hard plastic layer then we have like a thick kind of rubbery layer okay

00:02:34.959 --> 00:02:42.879
and then we get down to a much thinner cloth layer and then over the whole

00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:44.879
thing is kind of a is a plastic coating

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:48.519
that's kind of it feels almost like a cloth that's been sprayed with that

00:02:46.519 --> 00:02:51.280
waterproofing plastic so I've been looking forward to trying this out for

00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:57.360
quite a while thank you for checking out my unboxing of the steel series 5l and
