Ozone TRACE Extra Large Sized Professional Gaming Mousepad Review

Testing


I tested the TRACE alongside a Boogiebug soft mousepad and used a Razer Deathadder, Razer Diamondback, Microsoft Laser Mouse 8000 and Ozone's own Radon 5k professional gaming laser mouse (which is up for review next!).


The TRACE with the 'soon to be reviewed' Radon 5k!


That's a combination of two optical and two laser mice. Despite the useful comparison of different weighted and sized mice on a surface the use of different tracking systems is particularly important as optical mice can be somewhat finicky when it comes to different tracking surfaces.

Performance

I can confirm that the TRACE performed excellently allowing each mouse to track accurately and reliably. The semi rigid design means you get a very predictable surface whilst also retaining the comfort of a soft textile mousepad.

The rubber base meant that the pad didn't slip once during use and its size meant the need to lift the mouse back for another sweep wasn't needed as often.

Compared to the Boogibug pad I used next to it the TRACE offered a slightly more dependable experience probably due to the increase in accuracy afforded by the firmer surface. Also, despite the acreage offered by the Boogiebug, the smaller (but still large by mousepad standards) TRACE was perfectly useable during both desktop office work - indeed, that soft foam layer made document work and windows tasks comfortable and fatigue free.

Now onto what the TRACE was born to do - game wise I tend to play first person shooters on my PC more than anything (it's what they're designed for really!!!) and the TRACE coped well throughout. It was accurate and comfortable even during longer gaming sessions. Very impressed!
