Lepton

Out of the two gaming pads we have reviewed today, Lepton is the favourite due to its hardened surface texture. By offering a firm and semi-smooth surface this pad brings in a number of bonuses. First of all any accidental spillage from food or drink can be easily cleaned thanks to the material, which fails to absorb any liquid. Lepton feels more robust and durable when compared to others pads which use cloth for their surface material.

Regardless of the sensor type, Lepton reacts excellent with optical and laser mice. Some pads can have unpredictable results when you swap to a different sensor so we’re pleased this isn’t the case with Lepton.

At a cost of £20, the Lepton gaming pad is quite an expensive investment when you consider other options of the same calibre. This is the only shortfall we could find with this gaming pad, overall we’re very pleased with how effective Lepton is with different mice.





Neutron

Again, in similar fashion to the Lepton, Neutron responds well to laser and optical gaming mice. Having a cloth surface material means that any spills from food or drink will absorb into the pad, so extra care will need to be taken.

Neutron adopts a minimalist design and features only subtle graphical work. This means the pad will pair up well with other hardware/devices on the desk.

Being priced at £25, we definitely think this is too costly for a cloth mouse pad. Size may be in Neutron’s favour but even so, we expect it to be cheaper.
