Flipping the pad over 8 rubber feet are seen. These feet offer good holding support. You will find it hard to move the pad itself – the last thing you want when playing a game is for the pad to move. This is especially important to those who take their online gaming seriously, movement of the pad can cause your aim to stray which of course leads to defeat!
With the XT-R there are some Glidz bundled with the package. Glidz help enhance traction and in previous reviews we have used them and can say that they are a useful little addition to your mouse. In this review I used the Logitech MX-518 which suited the pad and the Glidz very well.
To test this pad I played a group of games for just under 2 hours. The games played were:
Unreal Tournament 3
Crysis Warhead
Age of Empires
I can say that the whole gaming experience was very pleasing. There was quite a leap in difference over using any other pad and especially when just using the bare desk. The surface is just so durable, even and precise. It really does enhance the games I played, it made them that bit more enjoyable. The only downside really is the size of this mat, it could do with being slightly bigger. I didn't have any problems but low-sense gamer's will probably feel the overall surface area needs to be bigger.
What I like especially about this pad is that It's so easy to clean. All it takes is a few wipes and It's fresh again. I'd give the material a thumbs up, It's definitely a lot better than other pads I've used for the simple reason that other pads mark so easily but the XT-R doesn't at all.
Conclusion
To conclude then, the QPAD XT-R is definitely a high-end gaming surface. It provides excellent traction and glide and will last you an awful long time due to the high quality of materials that have been used to produce this pad. I found the XT-R impressive from all angles and I would highly recommend this to the hardcore gamer who requires a top of the range pad, that looks, performs and lasts.
I would like to thank QPAD again for supplying us with this pad.
