Razer Firefly Review

Conclusion

As a gamer looking for a mouse mat, you may not be looking to spend £50-60 on such a product. You may prefer to be looking for a large desk sized pad or simply something to replace that cheap thing picked up from the supermarket. However, if you are looking for something with a bit of flair, then the Razer Firefly might be what you are looking for.



The illumination is good quality with vivid colour reproduction (seemingly more so than many other 16.8M colour devices) and the various modes add vibrant colour to your desktop. You can choose a Static effect, or cycle through the spectrum to whichever colour you desire. Razer have commited a lot of effort to the Chroma range and their SDK so there is a chance you could find this device being used in ways not previously conceived. The surface feels wonderfully awesome to slide your mouse along and with the various mice we tested, the tracking was flawless.

There are various considerations with the firefly especially at this price point. Such as, maybe it could have had a detachable cable so it could be used solo without lighting or with a little ingenuity it could have been wireless. Though considering the product as is, the only real negative aspect of the Firefly is the pricing, at almost double the cost of other 'Premium' mouse mats it could be hard to justify for many people. None of this really detracts from the fact its performance as a mouse mat is as flawless as you would expect, you just get added lighting, and pretty lighting at that! If you are a fan of Razer products, already own a Chroma device, or you simply want to liven up your desk, the Firefly fits the bill perfectly.

The Razer Firefly in a non-conventional mouse mat which features vibrant customisable 'Chroma' lighting, yet the impressive micro-textured surface finishes that 'ultra premium' presentation with silky smooth yet precise mouse action.

Pros.
+ Excellent tracking
+ Smooth gliding action
