      The most important feature of the Gigantus V2 is its micro-weave pad, which, in addition to supporting all types of gaming mouse sensors, provides excellent fluidity. Drag or aim the mouse around without missing a target!

      The mousepads can also be customized using Razer’s design editor or you can choose officially licensed artwork from games and popular Esports teams. Customization costs approximately $10 USD extra.

      The mat surface is made of textured micro-fabric, a very soft material that ensures perfect mouse glide. This material works perfectly with all kinds of mouse sensors, both laser and optical.

      The edges, however, are not sewn, something that in the long term makes us think about the possibility of the fabric coming off the rubber.

      The surface is a green-colored rubberized foam with a hexagonal texture to prevent it from sliding off the desk.

      Taking a closer look at the rubber base, we see a texture that helps to achieve even better friction on all types of surfaces.

      Usage

      The mouse movement is absolutely smooth without any interruption.

      The main body of the mat is made of thick high-density rubber foam, something that allows its surface to stay completely flat even on uneven surfaces, something very important to maintain a perfect grip on our desk and prevent it from slipping.

      The surface is made of micro-textured fabric that promises to be optimized for all types of mouse sensors, offering great precision and a great tracking.

      The mousepad stays in position does not move. It works very and the well rubber base grips nicely on your desk

      Usually in some mousepads, the weight of the wrist causes the pad to collapse, causing the mouse movement to stumble, but the Gigantus V2 did not have this problem.
