Okay, today I have a limited edition QCK mouse pad. This is a Zera Tool versus
0:06
Carrian Starcraft 2 themed mouse pad. So, just like the regular QCK, this is a
0:12
flexible cloth pad and Steeler QCK has
0:15
been around forever as far as I can tell. Um, I mean, why mess with what
0:20
isn't broken? But I just wanted to have a look at it because while there's
0:24
nothing particularly new they're bringing to the table in terms of the
0:28
the cloth mouse pad gaming experience.
0:31
Oh, actually, oh, okay, never mind. I thought I was going to say, oh, it's
0:35
actually quite a bit stiffer than normal, but actually that's just a paper
0:40
backing. So, yes, the QCK is its normal
0:43
flexible self. It's quite a thin mouse pad. Uh, the actual dimensions of this
0:47
particular one are 12.6 by 11.2 in. So
0:51
you can see the way that they've applied the graphics to it. You still got the
0:54
full texture of the fabric itself. And uh you know what the thing about Steeler
1:00
graphic mouse pads is that in my experience they work just as well as the
1:04
plain black ones which is quite an achievement because usually if you print
1:08
a graphic on a mouse pad uh what happens is as the laser or the optical sensor
1:14
crosses uh a sharp contrasting patch
1:17
like let's say you you were to cross through all of these legs. So you have
1:21
like a dark and then a light blue and then you've got dark and then light
1:24
blue. you'd tend to see the mouse uh sensor jumping, but with all of the
1:29
Steel Series ones that I've used in the past, they do not experience that
1:33
problem. And cameraman actually uses a uh Steel Series 5C. So, that was a
1:38
limited edition Wrath of the Lich King pad uh every day. And he's even with
1:42
extensive use with several mice, never encountered that kind of a problem. So,
1:46
anyway, this is part of their limited edition Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty
1:50
mouse pad series. And I'm just showing you this one because I think it is by a
1:54
long shot, like by a long shot, the coolest one. And I guess that's pretty
1:59
much everything I wanted to say. It comes with a little Steel Series sticker
2:02
and it comes with um a little Steel Series catalog.
