SteelPad QcK Heavy - Let's put it to use

The first thing I wanted to do was see if it would even fit on my desk.  I mean, this is a big pad. A really big pad. Would it fit in the area I had for it?

I would have to say that this is a yes.  In my preliminary usage (without the machine on, just moving the mouse around on the pad), I was impressed by the unique feel and glide that the pad provides. I’m sure it’s due to the thickness of the pad itself.

As I said before, this is a thick mouse pad, nearly 6MM thick.  Compared to the 2MM of most of the other SteelSeries mouse pads, this thing is a monster.  See, the original philosophy in making these pads was to create a high precision gaming surface that felt as a natural part of the desktop it was used on.

Here’s a close-up of the edge of the pad.  You can see that the entire thickness of the pad is made up of 1 uniform layer, giving this pad what it needs in terms of comfort and stability.

This shot, from a little further back, captures the cloth surface of the pad.  This uniform texture allows excellent tracking, and is ideal for low sensitivity mouse settings.

Remember when I was going on and on about how big the SteelPad 5L was when I reviewed that product?  Well take a look at the two of them, together.

Look at the sheer size difference the SteelPad QcK heavy has over the 5L.  There is no doubt about it, this thing is large and in charge.

This picture once again shows the size of this pad.  I have a fairly large hand, which would completely engulf the average size mouse pad, yet it seems small compared to the vast area covered by the QcK heavy.
