Established gaming manufacturer Steel Series have been manufacturing gaming equipment for quite some time now, from mousepads to headphones and even their own clothing line, releasing new items from time to time - and Steel Series are at it again with their latest product, the SteelPad 5L Mouse Surface. A cloth-plastic hybrid, is the 5L just a giant napkin, or a full-fledged, professional-grade mousepad? CyberwizardPit puts the new Steelpad 5L to the test in this article, and whether or not it stands its own ground in today's competitive market of pro-gaming surfaces.

Having looked at another gaming mousepad recently, the Icemat Mousepad, what makes this SteelPad 5L different, and is it really only beneficial for gamers to have such a mousepad?

A while back, we had some issues with surface tracking in Logitech's G5 and G7 laser mice. Frankly, that left a bad taste in our mouth, but the world's largest peripherals maker turned things around after acknowledging the issue and issuing a firmware upgrade for the G5. Besides, you can't hold a grudge against a company that has a consistency of releasing successful products over and again. Full Story at CoolTechZone | |  | |  | | |
