today, I will talk about the common surface materials and differences of most mouse pads on the market.
1. Cloth mats
Most of the common cloth mats used in the market are woven with Jaeger-lecoultre. Perhaps many JRs have no idea about Jaeger-lecoultre. Here, simply speaking, Jaeger-lecoultre belongs to knitted fabrics. Because of its excellent drape, safety and comfort, many of them are used in shoulder bags, game mouse mats, desk calendars, calligraphy and painting, etc., and are also used to fit various polymer materials.
The use feeling of mouse pad is greatly influenced by the thickness and weaving method of cloth. Generally speaking, the finer the cloth, the denser the weave pattern, the more delicate (smooth) the use feeling. On the contrary, the thicker the cloth and the thicker the weave pattern, the rougher (smooth) the use feeling. Of course, it is necessary to meet a comprehensive demand with the size and material of mouse foot stickers.
2. Coating pad
Strictly speaking, coating pad is actually a type of cloth pad. As the name implies, coating pad is added with a coating on the surface material on the basis of cloth pad, which makes the mouse smoother when used on it. The originator of coating pad should be QPAD CT series, but although it feels good and smooth to use, it is expensive, easy to wear and cannot be reversed. I don't know if you have found the same mat. The colored mat will be smoother than the colorless one. Compared with ZOWIE's GSR and GSR-DIVINA-SE, I can feel that the DIVINA version of GSR will be a little smoother than the solid color GSR. This is the so-called "micro-coating" coated mat to be said next. Now there are many more than 1 mats that claim micro-coating. First of all, even if it is coated, It is also very thin and almost worn, and you can't feel the difference between it and no wear. Secondly, when the mouse pad is colored by thermal transfer, the ink replaces the coating. I also said that the process is also an important part in the manufacture of the mouse pad. Some manufacturers have also made great efforts in this step.
3. Resin mats and metal mats
Resin mats are actually divided into fine and coarse surfaces (some mats can be used on both sides, such as RAZER's wasp's macula). Compared with cloth mats, resin mats have the advantage that the resin will be smoother than ordinary cloth mats, and quite a few users like to use hard mats. However, resin mats also have some problems. Under high-strength use, the surface loss is fast and it is easy to sweat.
the metal pad is similar to the resin pad, but the metal pad is more durable than the resin pad, and it is very cold to use in summer (it will freeze your hands in winter). . ) Take the aluminum mat as an example. The area of the aluminum mat on the market is not too large. Secondly, no matter whether your mouse feet are large or small, the sound is not small when you move on the aluminum mat, which will be particularly serious for the mouse feet, and it will corrode the metal surface after long-term use.
The rest, such as vulcanized pad and glass pad, will be discussed in detail in the future.
today we are going to talk about the CD-45 GAL of QPAD.
QPAD CD45 is one of the few nylon mats on the market. The nylon mat is to change the fabric material of the cloth mat into a nylon surface woven from nylon. Compared with the ordinary cloth surface, nylon has the advantage of being more wear-resistant and durable, but what effect will it bring on the mat? Let's see.
Size
The CD45 I bought is a new GAL version, and I bought both colors. Before that, I also bought a cherry blossom and a plain black version. The size of CD45 is 45mm*4mm*4mm, which is also a large size in the market. Players like me who play CSGO with low DPI usually buy mats of this size. Because the mat is made of nylon, the thickness of the mat can't basically affect the actual experience during use.
Weaving mode
We can see from the picture that the weaving direction of CD45 is twill weaving, the grain is thick, and because of the particularity of nylon fabric, the movement of the XY axis is basically the same, which requires attention to the XY axis.
primer
Because the nylon material itself is heavier than the general material, the primer of CD45 has much stronger adsorption on the table than the cushion of the same price. At present, there are not many cushions with the price of 1-2 yuan in my hand that have as strong adsorption on the table as CD45.
overall experience
I bought CD45 for its waterproof performance. The place where I used to live was very dusty. If the black mat was not cleaned, it would become gray in a week, so I chose CD45 for convenience. Basically, you just need to wipe it with a wet cloth to solve it.
The first feeling when you get started is that it is particularly slippery, and the smoothness is close to that of the resin pad, but compared with the resin pad, it has the advantage that it is easy to carry and can be rolled up. I've also tried to put feet of various sizes on it. The angular feet are not similar to CD45, which makes it feel like scraping a mat. I recommend putting feet on it, such as feet with curved edges, or replacing the tiger's foot stickers.
