What size mouse pad should I get for gaming?

Medium if you use a higher sensitivity or have a small desk; large if you play FPS at low sensitivity and make big arm movements. If your mouse regularly reaches the edge, size up or move to an extended desk mat.

What is the difference between a control and a speed mouse pad?

Control surfaces are more textured, so the mouse stops precisely — good for tracking and small adjustments. Speed surfaces are smoother for fast glide and flicks. Balanced pads sit between; many players start there.

Is a hard mouse pad better than cloth?

Neither is better — hard pads glide faster, clean easily and stay consistent in humidity; cloth is more comfortable, quieter and gives more control. Hybrids like Razer's Strider and Atlas aim for both.

Do RGB mouse pads affect the sensor?

No — the lighting sits in the edge or border, not under the tracking surface. Any modern optical sensor tracks fine on RGB pads; choose them for looks and software sync, and judge the pad by its surface.

How do I clean a cloth mouse pad?

Hand-wash in lukewarm water with a little mild soap, rinse, and air-dry flat. Avoid the tumble dryer and hot water, which warp the base. Hard pads wipe clean with a damp cloth.

How thick should a mouse pad be?

3–4 mm is the common choice: enough cushion to hide desk texture without feeling spongy. Ultra-thin hard pads (around 2 mm) feel most direct; thicker 5 mm pads are the softest.

Which mouse pad is best for a small desk?

A medium cloth or hybrid pad — around 360 × 270 mm — or a compact hard pad. If space is tight but you want the keyboard on the same surface, a small desk mat is the alternative.

How fast is delivery for mouse pads in South Africa?

Evetech ships nationwide via local couriers; Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban are typically quickest and outlying areas take a little longer. Checkout shows the live delivery estimate for your address, and every pad carries a local warranty.

Gaming Mouse Pads 🖱️

A gaming mouse pad gives your sensor a consistent surface and your wrist a comfortable one — the cheapest upgrade that changes how a mouse feels. This shelf holds the small, medium and large pads: cloth control and speed surfaces, hybrid and hard pads, RGB-edged pads and the pro esports models.

The choices that matter are size (medium for high-sensitivity and small desks, large for low-sensitivity flicks), surface (control cloth for stopping power, speed or hard surfaces for fast glide, hybrids in between), thickness and base grip, and stitched edges that stop fraying. RGB lighting is the extra.

Evetech stocks gaming mouse pads from Razer, SteelSeries, Cooler Master and Marvo, all with local warranty and fast delivery across South Africa. Want one mat under keyboard and mouse? See Desk Mats for extended XL/XXL sizes.
