Hello,

Does anyone has one of those led mouse mats for your studio (that gamers typically tend to use)

Are they any good?

 

This RGB lighting is a huge business for the manufacturers, you will also have been persuaded that you need something like that.
Everything must flash and glow colorfully.

If you really want to have it, read a few reviews.

Hcman RGB Gaming Mouse Pad, LED Mouse Pad with Non-Slip Rubber Bottom,
Mouse Pad for MacBook, Computer PC, Laptop, Desktop, 340 x 245 x 3 mm, Black

 

But why? You can get a good large mouse pad for $5-10, so why pay like $70-100 for one that has LEDs?

 

Where are you looking? Never seen them for $70-$100

 

They are often on sale for Earth Day.

 

And why NOT?
Is not my taste either, but some like it just more colorful than others. And if one can afford a few $$$ more, why not.

 

I have rgb motherboard, ram, video card, mouse and keyboard but mousepad is too much for me. It's an extra cable to get in the way for little benefit. You most likely have to be constantly running an extra application just to control it. I guess it comes down to how you value the aesthetic. Performance of the surfaces would obviously vary between brands just like old fashioned ones.

 

Never said I was going to buy one, just wondering if people on here use them

 

You can get a latest mouse pad in just 19$ then why you pay 50$ or 70$ for this ?
I also use strumace pad which is good , I am pretty happy. And I also buy just 19$.

Call me old fashioned but nah, I just switch on the wall light, or if I'm feeling extravagant? maybe even the table lamp!

 

umm ! Yes and my recordings sound so much better ! Grab one today

 

Quick answer. I have one that cost about £12.
I've had it for two years and it still works perfectly fine.

I tend to work in the dark, but I also just like lights and custom colour profiles.

 

Didn't notice your reply until now. All of the Corsair, Asus ROG and Logitech G LED mouse pads costs about $/€70-100 (atleast here in Sweden). Maybe you can get them for $/€50 on sale. The very cheapest ones I kind find are some crappy Deltaco ones for $/€40, and the most expensive is the Logitech G Powerplay for $/€125.
