Well I've had my desk, the ocuk boogiebug, the razer goliathius and now have the razer destructor as I've not been too fond of the last 2 matts for a key reason, that they aren't very long life, spill something on them and they stain or crease up etc and the height is too high @ 4mm.

In comes the destructor then!

I read several reviews of it before buying this afternoon and went for it. played some L4D and have to say it is much better than them all. The mouse glides effortlessly without an ounce of friction which the others did have (Goliathius less so but still there) and it's not metal like the steel series so won't freeze your palm or play funny games with certain wireless mice.

In usual Razer fashion the packaging is way OTT, in fact I'm going to try and mod the case it comes in to hold documents and what not sooner or later :p

The underside is nonslip rubber the same as the other matts.

If I got a new cloth based matt for £10 every year after wear and tear then the destructor will easily outlive 3 of those making the cost vs longevity margin well worth it :)
 
wow that looks awesome! very understated
I do like my Goliathius however, I suppose I would have to try it to feel the benefit.
£30 is slightly steep, however I've spent more on less important things.
Is it roll-able?
 
It's not rollable no (hence the hard case it comes in for transporting!)
 
Well last week i bought a sharkoon mouse pad for 4 quid from a shop, a day later i got a better mat on the members market.
 
Nice. If it's anything like the exactmat, which I expect it is, It'll last ages :D

I got my eXactmat in 2005/2006, and It's still in perfect condition. Never washed it either :/
 
The boogiebug had a nice big size, great for working on and filling an otherwise empty desk space!

But yeah, for gaming/performance and maintenance the Razer wins :)
 
been using an extra-large Qpad since the release of the Logitech MX518...

it's looking a bit worse-for-wear these days, i'm thinking of getting it replaced with one of these:

(i don't think thats's a competitor, they only sell their mats and OcUK don't sell them, but if a Passing shop-boy spots this, make note! sell these!)

woven teflon thats 1mm thick? yes please! and they even come in super-thin adhesive versions, and normal 4mm rubber-backed ones!
