There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Based upon a recommendation from a friend, I gave this mat a try - and sweet lord, it's fantastic. It's slightly smoother / quicker than the IceMat, but is not as goofy slick as the polycarb pads. It's smooth, but controllable and I would suspect for anyone who prefers smooth vs. high friction - ideal.
I was a little concerned the texture would make the feel or movement uneven - no problem. It tracks better than any mat I've used. It's incredibly precise for both flicks and constant tracking.
Fantastic product. While expensive, it really is better.
I had to update my updated review. I love the DeX now. I didn't like it at first, but I'm using the DeX every day for work, going to any of the hard pads now annoys and distracts me when I'm trying to play games. I give up, the DeX is great.
Maybe it needed a little breakin or a little dust and skin oil to bring it to its optimum working state. Maybe I got used to the starting and sliding friction being almost exactly the same. In the end, I don't know, I just know that the super-slippery mouse pad with a slight stick when it stops now distracts me terribly, and I go and steal the DeX from my work desktop--every night. And then every morning I go and move it back.
Initially underwhelming for the price, but performs great. Maybe a mouse pad is like a pair of stereo speakers--a good pair of speakers is not interesting.
[New review]
I had to come back and revisit this review again, because I'm gradually coming to like this pad, mostly.
Summary: if you like a moderate amount of resistance, it's a great mouse pad. If you like a low-friction mousepad, it's total fail. It's great for work.
Work: I've been using this as my work mousepad for months now, and it's excellent. It does creep across the desktop and I have to readjust it several times a day. I get this same effect on several different surfaces, so it's not just my work desk. It's a great work mousepad. The mouse stays where you put it but slides predictably when you move it.
Gaming: I've also used it for maybe 25% of my gaming sessions. Compared to any of SS's hard pads, it has a lot more friction. However, what I have come to appreciate is that the amount of starting friction is not much more than the sliding friction. I think this has improved since I first got the pad. Maybe a bit of use or even just dirt helped to break it in? I have come to appreciate the accuracy and consistent resistance, regardless of my preference for a low friction setup.
After using SS hard pads for years I don't think I can go back to a cloth pad feel. However, I if you like a moderate amount of resistance this is a good mouse pad.
[Old review]
tl;dr: Too sticky for small mouse motions, too small for large mouse motions. Not good for gaming, really.
If you're paying 40 bucks for a mouse pad (and waiting three weeks for backorder) you're probably actually interested in the glide first, feel second, appearance third, and *naturally* you expect it to lasted a few years because duh. If you judge from the DeX marketing literature, the two things gamers look for in a mouse pad are 1) vivid orange bottom, and 2) durability. Sure, right.
As it turns out, I *almost* never look at the bottom of my mouse pad while I'm gaming. Those free cloth mouse pads they give out at trade shows will last you a good 10 years of steady use, and wipe clean with water. I also have three of SteelSeries' previous mouse pads, two plastic and one aluminum, and they all wipe clean with water and are showing very little wear after years of constant use both at work and play. And after these years of use, my only complaint about the oldest, an original hard plastic Steel pad, is that the nonslip coating on the bottom has worn off, but as it is currently attached to the table with permanent double sided tape (3M VHB), this isn't much of a problem.
So, yes. The orange silicone bottom looks very nice. The mousing surface seems to be very durable.
Now on to trivial things: The glide is OK I guess. It seems to favor mice with thick, flat feet--I have a g700s with replacement teflon feet (tried both SteelSeries and factory-shaped teflon) and it drags a lot and sticks more than my new cheapo Redragon mouse (which is actually very good so I don't know why I'm calling it /cheapo/). The g700s has an annoying "stick" when it stops [update: this only applies to the SS teflon feet, the new replacements glide like magic--everywhere except on the DeX], but it's much worse on the DeX than on any other pad I have ever tried. The Redragon sticks too, although not as badly. It feels like a nice cloth pad, but where the mouse sticks annoyingly when you stop.
In other words, the coefficient of static friction is pretty high and I find it annoying while gaming. Once the mouse is moving it's very nice.
It's a great mouse pad for work and surfing the internet, in fact. For gaming, I don't like the combination of medium drag and a lot of static friction. The sticking at stop is good if you need the mouse to stay in place, say if you're using a corded mouse or moving your hands away from it frequently to type. This makes it a good choice for MMOs and anything where you'll be taking your hands off the mouse frequently (programming), or if you're a "big hand motions" kind of gamer.
There's more sliding friction than the original Steelpad, less than Steel's recent HD series. The main advantage of the DeX is that it is soft and quiet when you move the mouse. The HD transmits a harsh grinding vibration into my hand when I move the mouse, and all of the hard pads scrape to a greater or lesser degree, which is, how can I say this, unpleasant? The DeX has none of that and does not scrape.
The bottom line is that it's a very good glide with a moderate amount of feedback, like a good cloth pad, but the stick when it stops annoys me a LOT, to the point where I am sticking (hehe pun) with my old SteelPad and using the DeX only at work.
I guess it's a good choice if:
* your mouse has wide flat glides
* you like a lower resolution and/or larger arm movements
* you like a bit of drag
* the scraping sensation of the hard pads bothers you
* you use a mouse with a cord and take your hands off to type
Was not worth the money and the wait. It's a good pad, but not for gaming.
[updated 9/22/015 and docked a star because I actually dislike it]
Size & Silicone Bottom
It's fairly large, mine measures 12 5/8" x 10 5/8". The type of silicone used is around the same quality as silicone cookware grips, with a soft high friction texture. On my polished wood desk, I can make the pad slide very slowly if I push down and slide the mat, and you can make it slide during use but only very minimally, meaning it might need occasional readjusting.
Top Surface
As for the top surface, it feels close to wet-suit fabric, slick fabric almost like rubber. The texture has a quality feel to the hand. It appears to be physically bonded to the silicone, which should mean it will last a very long time. Some folks were complaining about the pad collecting dirt, but I haven't seen that problem and my desk gets pretty dusty. Maybe I need to break in the surface before I start having dirt issues. I do have one issue with the mouse pad that I haven't had with others. The texture tends to catch the hair on the side of my pinkie finger and give me a tickling sensation.
If you're tired of stick-on mouse pads peeling up, fabric mats fraying, and pads sliding around undesirably, this is the mouse pad that will solve all your problems.
Let's just say it allows for the most accurate mouse movements ever - and it's like gliding my mouse OVER AIR! IT IS BEYOND any other cloth mousepad I have ever used - PERIOD. People who say otherwise are just using it WRONG LOL!!! Even when this thing gets dirtier than a feminist's blue waffle'd snot pocket after a free for all bareback party - the thing STILL performs extremely well - AND it won't give you any STD's, throw any false rape accusations your way because you did not get her to sign a consent form - or complain about the debunked wage gap / whine about the "patriarchy"(does not exist) / or pretend that they do not live equally under the law when in fact they have MORE rights than men do now! :) BUY THIS MOUSEPAD!
First of this is the first mouse pad I have ever purchased so I might not have a lot of credibility, but I can tell you as a guy with very sensitive skin this thing is very comfortable and does not iritate me. I have had it for a full month now and have yet to wash it so will update after the first wash. Material wise seems to be lasting and hanging in there no problem yet and hopefully won't be having any the price is a little high for a mouse pad but it seems to be well worth it so far. It has ample space to do big mouse movements if you're a gamer you know what I mean and let's the mouse glide effortlessly without letting it slide or move around with every little touch seems to work well with my rat9 even though many people say to stay away from black and dark colors because of the censor the rat9's use but haven't had any problems with the censor or bad tracking. So what are you waiting for hurry up and buy it!!!

It can slip a little depending on the surface it's on and how you use the mouse.
Hat heute noch sehr gleichmäßige Reibung/ Haftung.
Ich hatte schon immer "speed"-Pads lieber, aber konnte mich generell nicht mit harten Pads anfreunden. Vorgänger waren mehrere Razer Goliathus, Steelseries Qxk und Razer Sphex.
Heute für einen Freund bestellt und gesehen, dass sich die Oberfläche bei einigen löst.
Ich war zahlreich mit dem Pad auf LANs und Turnieren und habe es zur Reinigung mit einem nassen Handtuch sehr hart abgerieben. Dennoch hat sich nichts gelöst und es gab keine Blasen.
Um es zu testen habe ich mal die Kante geknickt und mit dem Fingernagel versucht etwas von der Stoffoberfläche abzuziehen und es ging bei mir tatsächlich auch erstaunlich leicht, dafür dass ich seit Jahren davon nichts bemerkt hatte.
Habe es mit ein wenig Sekundenkleber wieder festgestrichen und hoffe dass mich das Mousepad noch weitere 5 Jahre begleiten wird.
Mein Pad rentiert sich auch von der Haltbarkeit, auch wenn es 30-50€ kostet, sofern man es nicht darauf anlegt.
Pros: glides as fast as hard pad, but it's not hard surface as it's hybrid and it's easy to clean just like hard pad, you never have to worry about damaging it while washing.
Cons: I can only use this pad for playing moba game like dota2 or web browsing due to the size is too small and it glides too fast, there is literally no resistance to stop fast mouse movement, and I play fps games a lot, I must need some control power on my pad or my aim will drop.
eventually I brought it to my office desk for work, perfect size ( I tried to bring those big gaming cloths pad to work like qck heavy and g-sr, my colleagues just kept laughing at my pads, because those pads are way too big for work), but now this small pad perfectly fits on my office desk, and my g502 glides effortlessly, very good pad for work, I enjoy using it everyday, but it's not for gaming through.
BIGカメラでふと立ち寄ったPCゲームアクセサリーコーナー(?)にて、
へ~、マウスパッドか~、そういえば使ったこと無いな~、と色々と触っていた所、
このマウスパッドの触り心地がとても気に入り購入しようとしたのですが、
大きなカメラ店には在庫・仕入れ予定(?)無しとのことだったので、意を決しアマゾンを初利用しました。
Dexについて
・触り心地がとても良い、表面がデコボコ加工されているけれど、木製の机の表面と違ってマウスを動かしても一切引っかからないし、乾いた感触で動かしやすいです。
・それとなんといってもデコボコの感触がとても気に入っています。
今までマウスを止めたりする際に薬指と小指をストッパーのようにしているのですが、デコボコがそれを更に細かく協力してくれており、使いやすいです。
若干の難点かなと思っている所は、
・使っている机が小さいので、この大きさだとパッドの一部がキーボードやモニターを支える台の下敷きになってしまっているので、サイズが選べれたら良かったかな~と思います。
・それと、マウスパッド裏面の滑り止め(シリコンゴム?)は余り役にたってないかもしれないですね。
ただ、広い面積ゆえにモニターの支え台の下敷きになっているお陰?でマウスパッドがずれるという煩わしい目にはあってないので、
裏面のゴムを触ってみた、パッドの端の部分を指で押してみた感じによる推測なので、実はめっちゃ高性能な滑り止め機能になっているかもです。
