today I'm going to be having a look at a product from mionix this is the propus
380 high performance gaming mouse pad like all of their packaging it is
extremely minimalistic you basically got an image of the product the name of the
product what it is the brand and that is
it so let's flip this guy over and see
what the propus 380 has to say for itself so their slogan is light years
ahead of the game and uh in fitting
fashion they name all of their products after Stars so here we go a star has
been born this is taken directly from the Greek word for forward foot okay so
it's some history of the particular star that this one is named for here's a
model overview so it is the physical answer to Performance design and
Innovation the new developed surface is treated with a special silver metallic
plastic coating I haven't heard of that before according to test results this
special coding offers optimal tracking conditions and improves the overall performance of the mouse movements
okay we have implemented a thin base of PVC plastic to give stability from a
hard mouse pad without compromising the flexibility from a soft mous pad the
backside is made of natural rubber to insure a steady grip okay here we go
material PVC plastic base squat value now we'll talk about that a little bit
more later but squat is the surface quality analyzer tool that is available
on mionix mice so it looks like this
score is pretty high okay ultra fine
texture 38x 2 60 mm thickness rubber base back and led opone laser it is
compatible with so don't be going and grabbing an expensive new propus 3 380
mouse pad for your ball mouse please do not I shouldn't need to tell you guys
that it's kind of like using a VGA
output on a you know GTX 580 just don't
just please don't okay so packaging we've got a plastic cover or plastic
paper cover okay avoid any damage to the
finish and speaking of the Finish ooh that's shiny look at that I've actually
never seen a mouse pad with a finish
anything like that I'm going to try and get the right angle to show you guys uh
on the camera what it looks like in person so that's that's probably about
as close as we're going to get you can see all of that shiny reflective uh
sparkliness coming off of it it's got kind of a kind of a neat uh feel to it
overall so the rubber on the back is very very grippy okay you can see the
texture here once I put that down I guarante you there's no way that it's
going anywhere now that it's on the table it'll move my tablecloth before
it'll actually move itself here's just
uh if you can read that yeah there you go light ears ahead of the game.net
here's their little logo down here in the bottom and really all I'm going to
be able to tell you guys about this product is how it TR cracks and since I
actually don't have a mouse handy or maybe I
do I won't be able to tell you as much as I had hoped so I've got a naos
3200 I'm going to go ahead and plug that in although there's not really going to
be any way to tell with any certainty
how effective it is until I've actually played some games
on it although what I will tell you guys now is that it Glides like mad so you've
actually got a little bit of a texture to it so it won't start moving without a
little bit of resistance but it is a tiny tiny bit I mean a tiny bit of
resistance to start the Mouse Moving And once you've got it moving it's very very
smooth so most of the drag on the mouse right now when I'm sliding it across the
mouse pad is actually from the cord so if I had a way to there we go to reduce
that drag and Slide the mouse then you'd
be able to get a better idea this is actually a fairly worn out naos 3200 you
can see the uh Teflon feed on the bottom are actually pretty scratched up from
use with another mouse pad so uh big fan of the ergonomics of of this particular
Mouse by the way so that Glides like crazy um like I said without playing any
games it's going to be very hard to gauge the overall accuracy of the this
I'm going to go ahead and close that so
let's see if there's anything that we can s of just do to click around it's
very fast very very fast to move from place to
place a lot of the time when you get a new mouse pad you can actually feel it
right off the bat how how responsive the mouse is on
it looks a little bit faster than I'm used to on this
pad all right well thank you for checking out my unboxing of the propus
380 I'm actually going to be doing an unboxing shortly of the naos 5000 and
I'm going to run that squat tool to find out how it
compares to let's see let's find another
mouse pad that I have around how about the steel Series 5 L we'll compare it to
