This is a Zera Tool versus Carrian Starcraft 2 themed mouse pad. So, just like the regular QCK, this is a flexible cloth pad and Steeler QCK has been around forever as far as I can tell. Um, I mean, why mess with what isn't broken? But I just wanted to have a look at it because while there's nothing particularly new they're bringing to the table in terms of the the cloth mouse pad gaming experience. Oh, actually, oh, okay, never mind. I thought I was going to say, oh, it's actually quite a bit stiffer than normal, but actually that's just a paper backing. So, yes, the QCK is its normal flexible self. It's quite a thin mouse pad. Uh, the actual dimensions of this particular one are 12.6 by 11.2 in. So you can see the way that they've applied the graphics to it. You still got the full texture of the fabric itself. And uh you know what the thing about Steeler graphic mouse pads is that in my experience they work just as well as the plain black ones which is quite an achievement because usually if you print a graphic on a mouse pad uh what happens is as the laser or the optical sensor crosses uh a sharp contrasting patch like let's say you you were to cross through all of these legs. So you have like a dark and then a light blue and then you've got dark and then light blue. you'd tend to see the mouse uh sensor jumping, but with all of the Steel Series ones that I've used in the past, they do not experience that problem. And cameraman actually uses a uh Steel Series 5C. So, that was a limited edition Wrath of the Lich King pad uh every day. And he's even with extensive use with several mice, never encountered that kind of a problem. So, anyway, this is part of their limited edition Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty mouse pad series. And I'm just showing you this one because I think it is by a long shot, like by a long shot, the coolest one. And I guess that's pretty much everything I wanted to say.
