okay so today I'll be unboxing kind of a different product I don't do many sort
0:04
of okay I guess we've done mouse pads in the past fine this is the pure track
0:08
talent and basically they are saying that this is pretty much the best
0:12
mousing surface ever okay so they're saying it's a super soft cloth service
0:17
used by top professional Gamers and they have a couple of uh a couple of gaming
0:22
brands on here that they support so they're saying they support complexity
0:25
gaming.com as well as lowland lions.com
0:28
okay so what they saying is unique about this particular product it is really
0:33
thick so that that means that you have a flat surface regardless of whether your
0:37
table is actually completely flat they're also saying that the printing on
0:42
the top of the peer track Talent is conducive to precise tracking with laser
0:49
and Optical mice so why don't we get this thing open here and find out what
0:54
we see inside so if you can see the talent coiled up here as well as what
0:58
appears to be some documentation inside okay so what do we got we have a
1:04
printed sheet free ventrillo for 30 days
1:08
oh whatever you can use the code whoever watches first there's your free ventrillo for 30 days code no contracts
1:13
no hidden fees no small text okay but this offer you to get free 10 user
1:16
accounts blah blah blah okay that's kind of cool so that comes with the peer
1:20
track Talent mouse pad I see something else in here too oh okay so you've got a
1:24
peer track sticker that you can stick to your stuff whatever it is that you have
1:29
okay so then all that's left is to take out the mouse pad itself and hopefully
1:34
I'll have some time to do some annotations here with my Impressions I
1:38
use an iari laser mouse for my gaming so
1:41
wow this thing is huge okay so that is quite a large mousing surface and the
1:47
first thing I noticed about it and this is something I think is really smart is
1:50
check out the shape okay check out the aspect ratio so to speak this is a
1:55
widescreen mouse pad most of the other mouse pads on the market are actually
2:00
4:3 just like an old school monitor whereas this looks more like a 16 to 10
2:06
sort of aspect ratio so it means that rather than having a mouse pad where
2:10
you're you're going to track side to side and up and down and you're going to need way more you're going to be closer
2:15
to the edges on the sides this one you're actually going to be able to use
2:18
the whole surface just like you can track on your screen okay so it's about
2:23
the same size as a 24-in monitor so that's actually pretty smart so the
2:28
thickness itself is another thing that they are really saying is important
2:33
about this is a Clos cell sort of rubber foam so it's not going to be going
2:36
anywhere once you put it down on your you know there's not a whole lot to say
2:39
about a mouse pad hopefully the annotations give you some idea I want
2:43
you to have a quick look at the surface it feels like you're going to Glide
2:46
quite easily it's a very fine cloth weave and they're saying that this
2:50
pattern that they printed here will give very consistent tracking actually that's
2:53
one of the dumbest things that I think is mouse pads that are for gaming that
2:58
have complex graphics on them because as soon as you pass over a dark black to
3:02
white transition or certain other color changes your tracking just fails on a
3:07
laser or an optical Mouse so I'll have a look at this thank you for checking out
3:10
my unboxing of the peer track Talent
