Nova OVER Slide Mouse Pad Review

Features
The OVER Slide continues the high-quality standards the Master and Killer 2 gave us earlier on in the year. There have been a few changes however. We now have 'Ceramic Micro-Balls Inside' technology helping to deliver the response and performance that you require. The OVER Slide is the largest of the pads available from Nova measuring in at 420x290 inches and offering a whopping 12,000 DPI.

Below is a technical run down of the Nova OVER Slide (Details taken from esportnova.com).

Size: 420x290 in
Thickness: 11 cm

Wide surface
This is Nova Gaming's largest mouse pad. Designed for "low-sens" gamers, this pad is designed for players that need large movements.

12000 DPI
Zero mouse lag - the OVER SLIDE guarantees zero mouse lag and latency with your optical and laser mice.

A smooth and fluid glide
The perfect compromise for optimal sensitivity. The micro-balls surface insures a perfect glide and even more amazing combined with the ceramic feet of the Slider x 600 mouse.

Ultra responsive
Its micro-mirrors optimize the detection and amplification of the mouse's infrared and laser beams, and as such provide immediate response time. As a result of this technology, the mouse becomes ultra-responsive and accurate.

Stylish and durable
The micro-cellular foam layer on the back sticks to your desk surface, whatever it is made of (wood, glass, aluminium). Sleek and effective, the OVER SLIDE's stylish design will stimulate the interests of all players.

Unbeatable glide and accuracy!
An interesting set of features. Most notably the 12K DPI and the mirror technology that allows both laser and infrared mice to take advantage of the surface.




The OVER Slide comes in a stylish cardboard casing. Full of colour and features, giving details of the above features. On the reverse of the casing is a chart of previous pads that Nova has produced, along-side the OVER Slide. A markable improvement over the predecessors – It's bigger, has almost double the DPI and according to the statistics glides are more fluent.

Inside the out casing is another black cardboard folder, inside is the OVER Slide pad itself. Taking it out it feels thick and smooth. I really like the design Nova have chosen to use here on this pad. It's neutral yet classy and I think this will go with most hardware on the market – whether it be black or silver. It's quite obvious from handling the pad, consideration and quality has been a key element. First impressions are promising.



With the mouse now on the desk it really does look the business. The Smooth clear stylish design is such a good combination with the dark peripherals I have sitting on the desk. When I placed the OVER Slide on the desk it grasped the surface extremely well, in fact the pad does not move at all – you have to peel it from the desk to remove it. This is important, you don't want the pad moving around whilst gaming – it could loose you some crucial points.

The OVER Slide is 11cm thick, this ensures the entire surface is smooth with no sharp bumps to ruin the glide. It feels very durable and you can tell the effort and time along with the workmanship gone into this pad has really paid off. Over on the next page we will see how the OVER Slide performs in the testing stage.
