The Razer Firefly: A $60 Mouse Pad (It Lights Up!) - General

I was kinda hoping the surface would light up...

I don't even have enough space on my desk for a mouse pad.

[QUOTE=Sir Spicy Buns;47773761]Call me a sucker, but i think this is awesome. I might pick one up, because i'm never assed to keep track of my mousepad. This might encourage me to keep track of it and save me money[/QUOTE] and then you lose your shitty 60$ mouse pad do you buy another 60$ mouse pad

I actually happen to need a new mousepad. Now I know what specifically not to buy!

I have one question: Why?

[QUOTE=kweh;47774111]I have one question: Why?[/QUOTE] Why not? It looks pretty neat and more then enough people will buy it anyway.

I think it looks pretty neat, overdone video, but the product itself looks cool

Razer always overdo their trailers, that's just how they are I guess although I wouldn't see myself buying this, I am content with self-made 99 cent artscow mousepads it's funny though, a few months back they hosted a competition on who could make the best keyboard light effects on the blackwidow chroma, I entered in because why not, so I actually got into the top 10 and won what essentially replaced my old left-earcup only working headset, the kraken chroma best part was that i made the effect at 2 am with no effort put in it whatsoever you can see it at the bottom of [url=http://www.razerzone.com/chroma-configurator]this page[/url] under the name "prismatic platforms"

[QUOTE=darth-veger;47774216]Why not? It looks pretty neat and more then enough people will buy it anyway.[/QUOTE] I dunno, it doesn't justifies the price.

I still think nothing Razer will do can ever top the Mechanical Keyboard Enhancement Kit for sheer absurdity of pricing. It's literally just a $3-4 plastic keycap puller, a $6-8 set of Cherry MX O-rings and a tiny little $2-3 brush. But because there's the Razer logo on the box and the O-rings are Razer Green, they charge $35 for it here.

[URL]https://web.archive.org/web/20130115182628/http://www.ikea.com/de/de/catalog/products/10104455/[/URL] I had these for years - bought an entire stack and when one of them was worn out i just threw it in the trash :v: Now i'm using some generic hard plastic mousepad i got from work. It's awesome - the mouse moves really easily, and it didn't cost me anything :dance: [B]edit: [/B]This one: [url]http://us.hardware.info/productinfo/9467/revoltec-fightmat-advanced/photos[/url]

I've always wanted a mousepad that needs to be plugged into the wall

I think it's cool if the rest of your gear is chroma stuff, so you can sync the colors, but I can see just as well why someone wouldn't want it. If it came in the giant size the goliathas extra large comes in i'd buy it but I like my goliathas right now

My desk is just wood with paint so my mouse has no trouble working on it, but the paint is wearing off where the mouse goes. In retrospect a mousepad would probably have been ideal but now it's too late.

Pretty redundant but fits the Razer collection nicely. Razer tends to be a luxury-before-performance company after all. If you don't have a mousepad just a get a steel series QCK they're like 15 bucks on amazon. I say if mine ever wears out or gets ruined I'll just buy another one.

Just one little bit of less or extra friction makes all the difference in the world.

I'd buy one [sp]for $20[/sp]

I don't want any of my shit lighting up. It's just a distraction when I'm playing.

[QUOTE=dai;47773811]how far can a mousepad run off on you that you'd legit burn through $80 worth of cheap ones[/QUOTE] I travel alot with my desktop, so i bring my mousepads with me alot. Hence forth i lose them alot.

A $60 mousepad that lights up? I'll take twenty.

[QUOTE=Mr. Zombie;47776544]I don't want any of my shit lighting up. It's just a distraction when I'm playing.[/QUOTE] It's only really worth it if you have company often and want shit to look slick. That said my keyboard and mouse both breath multicolors but go solid red when in-game, and dim blue when watching movies/shows and it's not distracting at all. (Perixx though, screw Razer)

[QUOTE=Kite_shugo;47771941]fuck, it might be kind of cool if the actual mousepad part lit up but it's just the damn edges and logo this is a good video to make into a parody though[/QUOTE] having the very top light up would mess with your mouse optics and make it spazz out maybe.

[QUOTE=Exigent;47776587]99 cents, what, how[/QUOTE] They do coupons for $1 mousepads with free shipping every so often.

I got a corsair hard mouse pad a while ago, it was like 30 bucks I think Pretty good investment IMO, it never folds or slides or does any of that annoying bullshit other pads did, also it has a HUGE surface area

For a second there I was afraid I was going to have to gorilla glue LED strips to my mousepad.

I personally use a Pokemon B&W card playing mat as my mousepad. It's the perfect material and its as big as those fancy long mousepads, so its got a really good grip on any desk, and it looks like pokemon (and hot sauce stains) [editline]22nd May 2015[/editline] this razer dohicky can light up all it damn wants, but lets see it look like a pokemon

I think this is kinda awesome tbh

I have a wooden desk so i have no use for a mousepad. In fact, a mousepad makes it worse.

[QUOTE=dai;47773568]I just got the G910 and it has a neat feature where you can have one color for idling, then it'll turn to another color on keypress and fade back to the idle over time. It's pretty gentle compared to the shockwave traveling all over the keyboard but it's very cool in practice[/QUOTE] The key caps on the G910 are cancer.
