Which Gaming Mousepad is Best for Me?

SteelSeries has a long and very successful history of gaming mousepads. They are among the best in the world, and our proprietary QcK series is used worldwide by the pros and fans alike.

Our QcK Performance gaming mousepad lineup takes it one notch further. With three different editions, everyone can find something suitable for them. Let’s examine the options below and guide you to choosing the one that’s perfect for you. And if it helps, remember that no matter what, you’re getting extremely high quality.

• QcK Speed

• QcK Control

• QcK Balance

Also note that these are available in two sizes: L and XL.

I want to glide smoothly and quickly

With QcK Speed, you can achieve just that. Featuring an ultra-smooth surface, this is for those players who want to make larger motions on their mousepads, maybe for hitting a perfect snipe, or maybe for some sweeping click-and-drag motions. Whatever floats your boat, but if you expect smoothness, this is the one for you.

• Ultra-smooth, unparalleled and frictionless glide

• Rapid, effortless movement

• Extra-dense and consistent for your mouse sensor

• Despite the speed, the mousepad stays firm with a non-slip neoprene rubber base and durable thanks to low-profile stitched edges

I want absolute control and precision

With QcK Control, you want absolute precision over where your mouse is pointing. Perhaps you want to make some micro-adjustments. Maybe you need to very precisely track a target. Maybe you’re sculpting things in a program or drawing. You hate when your mouse slides too far on the mousepad.

Then this is the one for you.

• Micro-textured surface to give you less slide and more control

• Just the right amount of drag; perfectly engineered and tested

• You’re prioritizing control over comfort

• Extra-dense and consistent for your mouse sensor

• Just the same rubber base and durability, top-notch quality on a gaming mousepad that stays still

I’m sort of in-between, I want the best of both worlds

We get ya. I’m a Libra personally, and I also often can’t quite decide on anything. QcK Balance is for people like you and me.

Strike the perfect middle ground with this one. This soft, finely woven texture will feel velvety, but it won’t let your mouse speed off like crazy. You’ll maintain just enough control to be confident about your movements.

• Tightly woven surface with medium dynamic friction

• Measured acceleration, not too much, just enough

• Perfect blend of speed and control

• Same great quality as the other types, in terms of staying power, durability, and thickness
