Mousepads have evolved quite a bit from
the little cloth things that come for free with many systems, sure
they’re nice for the average user, but when you’ve got a specialized,
expensive gaming mouse those little freebie pads just don’t cut it.
On the review block today I’ve got the Evo-G MP1 mousepad and it’s a hybrid type of pad that offers the best of
both worlds basically, a hard surface type pad that is on top of a
soft, padded backing. The pad can be rolled if need be and since it’s
soft has a bit of give to it that makes it all that more comfortable.
From my time with the MP1, I’ve found it to be a great pad overall,
no matter what you’re doing, and it works very well with either laser
or optical mice.
So continue on to check out the MP1
from Evo-G…

Tech
Specs,Features or the Basic Info:
Evo-G MP1 sets new standards
for quality, tracking and glide, and we only recommend this product
to gamers who want to experience a gaming surface we can only
describe as ‘spectacular’.
The glide and feel of MP1 does
not resemble any other professional gaming mousepad on the market
today. During research and development of this surface professional
players described the mousepad as “the purest form of glide in
the world”.

A
Better Look at Things:
The Evo-G MP1 comes packaged in a
very nice tin box that can double as a way to transfer the pad if
need be. It’s wrapped in plastic, and has a paper wrapper around it
that lists the specs and features.
The MP1 itself is sort of a
combination hard surface and soft surface type of pad, the top is
semi hard, but yet the entire thing is still flexible. There’s a red
star in the center, along with the Evo-G logo in the top left corner
and their website address in the bottom right corner. The back side
of the MP1 is a non-slip rubbery surface to make sure the pad stays
in place while you’re gaming.
Testing
and Usage:
For me the pad is just about the
perfect size, it’s not too big or not small, it should fit on most
desktops, even those with limited space.
During my time with the MP1 I’ve
got quite a bit of use out of it, I used it with both the SteelSeries
Ikari Laser and Optical mice, both tracked flawlessly on the MP1.
The surface is almost perfectly
smooth with just a small bit of a texture to it to allow a bit of
control with your mouse.
The MP1 is actually very nice to
use for anything you’re doing including any type of gaming and just
your normal everyday uses.
Both Laser and optical mice
tracked perfectly with the MP1, and they just glide across the
surface of the pad.
Since the MP1 is a soft pad, it
can be rolled, but not bent or folded as you could damage the
surface, it’s nice to have the flexibility and softness but yet have
a hard surface to mouse on.
Summary
and Comments:
The MP1 form Evo-G is a great pad
for no matter you’re doing, the fact that it is a hybrid style pad
makes it all the more useful, and comfortable to use.
No matter what type of mouse,
laser or optical, the MP1 allowed them both to track flawlessly.
DragonSteelMods gives the Evo-G
MP1 Mousepad a 5 out of 5 score.
Pros:
-Slick surface
-Tracks well with both optical and
laser mice
-Non-slip backing so pad stays in
place
-Not too big and not too small,
just the right size
-Nice metal tin for carrying it
with you
Cons:
-None really
I
would like to thank Evo-g for the chance to review the MP1
Mousepad and
