in episode one of a new segment we're calling holy sh
0:03
we opened up and had a look at the biggest SSD we'd ever seen and in what's
0:08
likely to become a recurring theme on these segments today we'll be checking
0:13
out the largest mouse pad that we've ever seen so without further ado this is
0:19
the padzilla a mouse pad that we have no
0:22
idea how managed to arrive here i mean i don't
0:26
even know how these guys got our address
0:37
tunnelbear is the easy to use vpn service that lets you browse the web as
0:41
if you're in one of 20 different countries check out the link in the
0:44
video description to learn more so i guess all we can really do is uh
0:50
open it up and have a look
0:54
it's got some weight to it as you'd probably expect comes in a big tube
0:59
and uh surprisingly
1:04
it actually doesn't smell so maybe there's something to all that nonsense
1:08
that they're talking about with their natural renewable rubber and non-toxic
1:13
and odorless and all that stuff and wow
1:17
uh so as advertised the padzilla
1:22
is extremely big they actually apparently even have
1:25
bigger sizes coming but this is the only one that they have now according to
1:29
their website but still i mean even this
1:33
the first question that comes to mind for me here is what on earth would
1:36
anyone need such a large mouse pad for sun shade for your car
1:44
protection from the elements
1:47
sleeping pad for when you get tired at a lan party
1:57
annoying your co-workers
2:10
a glorious pcmr fashion statement
2:16
extreme low sensitivity gaming
2:24
okay but being serious again for a moment here
2:27
for context this is the qck xxl that i
2:32
use on a day-to-day basis it is large enough for me to comfortably at 800 dpi
2:37
with an ultra wide 34 inch monitor have
2:41
room for my mouse on the right my wider than normal g7 10 plus keyboard
2:46
in the middle and an additional mouse on the left for me to use my laptop when it
2:51
comes to that also at 800 dpi this
2:55
is the padzilla for scale
3:11
so truthfully it shouldn't come as any surprise that i questioned the
3:14
practicality somewhat of this product
3:17
but on their site they have definitely managed to come up
3:21
with some things on the benefits page so
3:25
let's go through what they think the point of this product is
3:29
benefits number one
3:32
big okay
3:36
well we're all gonna have to agree that big is a benefit before we accept that
3:40
uh before we accept that premise number two excellent tracking cushion and glide
3:45
i will give them excellent glide and i will give them no issues with tracking
3:48
actually but it is a little bit thinner than the qck xxl it's a little bit
3:52
thinner than i would like so you know we'll give them a good two out of three
3:56
there beautiful designs some of them yes some
4:00
of them not so much luke mentioned that we actually had two of them i don't
4:03
personally find this design to be particularly beautiful
4:06
but um i mean if you pay like three times as much you can get your own
4:09
design printed on it which i guess is kind of cool okay so a half point there
4:13
desk protection fair enough okay desk protection i can
4:16
kind of get into because we've experienced a fair bit of damage on our
4:20
desks washable this is actually something i really like about cloth mouse pads in
4:25
general the fact that you can uh you can actually hand wash them with a mild soap
4:29
and water or i've actually machine washed them before without too many
4:32
issues but i'm sure they don't recommend that silken surface this is where they lost
4:37
me a little bit because i personally prefer a bit of a coarser weave for a
4:42
little bit more resistance but your mileage may vary on that one literally
4:46
get it because your mileage would be better on a smoother surface
4:51
and multiple uses so actually i wasn't that far off with
4:55
my goofy skit thing which i had actually created before
4:59
looking at this wall art
5:03
table protection floor mat meditation mat
5:08
dog cat pad trade show table dressing
5:11
company promotion techie presents and more okay saying something has multiple
5:16
uses because it can be a present is not not not valid they do actually this is
5:21
kind of funny they have an entire uh
5:24
grouping of like separate domains like drummats.com which are exactly the same
5:29
product except on drummats.com they put
5:32
it under a drum
5:36
and finally the last one just plain cool you guys will have to tell us what you
5:40
think is the padzilla
5:43

5:47

5:51
