While Optical, Laser or Infrared mice can operate under those grueling conditions, we, and perhaps we alone, hear their cries of agony. Crying out into the glow of the LCD, 'Help us our feet hurt, Help us Help you PWN'. When Razer contacted us about testing their new Goliathus High Speed Edition Gaming Mouse Pad, we heard the cries of thousands of mice begging for relief and we were glad for the chance to be the voice of all those tortured souls.

If the mouse is an extension of your arm in the heat of battle, the mouse pad is logically an extension of your mouse; it can and will help your gaming experience if you let it. It will also help to extend the useful life of your mouse by protecting it's feet, which means it protects your investment, too.
