SteelPad QcK Heavy - Testing and Conclusions

To test this product, I figured it only fair to test it against its brother, the SteelPad 5L. In my testing, I tested both pads sitting on the bare desktop, and with a small amount of paper beneath them, to simulate an uneven desktop.

On the flat desktop, both of the mouse pads performed awesomely well. To be honest, the only difference I noticed is that the thickness of the QcK heavy was much more comfortable on my wrist.  (Yes, I chose to forgo my wrist rest for these tests).

On an uneven desktop, the QcK heavy performed with gusto, while my SteelPad 5L didn’t feel so sturdy, as if too much pressure would break it.  This made the QcK heavy the pad of choice, as far as I’m concerned.

As always, here are the highs and lows for this product:

Highs:

• Super-sized mouse pad (17.7 x 15.7 inches).
• Thick construction aids with uneven surfaces.
• Very comfortable feel for extended mousing.
• Designed in cooperation with professional gamers.

Lows:

• Nothing.

Once again, SteelSeries shows that they have their finger on the pulse of the gaming community with this excellent offering. As such, this pad is awarded a perfect score of 10 out of 10 and Dev Hardware’s Platinum Award. Whether your mouse sensitivity is set low or high, this pad is definitely worth its $30 street price.
