However, if you're a fan of plastic topped mousepads for their reduced friction and increased speed, you may not care for the X-Ray Technology Aqua 3 Gaming Mousepad as it improves control at the cost of speed. The Aqua 3 is also larger mousepad, which may make it difficult to fit in some desks.

Guide Review - X-Ray Technology Aqua 3 Gaming Mousepad

Features of the X-Ray Technology Aqua 3 Gaming Mousepad

The Cloth Surface of the Aqua 3 is specially designed to improve mouse control. The rubber base of pad is textured and slip free for most desktop surfaces. The mousepad is also washable, which will be great for users that carry it lots of places. The dimensions of the pad are 15.7" x 11" by .12".

X-Ray Technology Aqua 3 Gaming Mousepad in Use

The cloth top of the mousepad does a great job of improving your control offering lots of feedback to your mousing action, however, this is done at the expense of speed. The rubber backing makes the pad well cushioned, while being thinner than most mousepads. The top of the mousepad feels more like neoprene to me than cloth, which is not a bad thing. One of the things I typically don't care for on a cloth top mousepad is the feel of the cloth under my wrist and the Aqua 3 is smoother feeling than your typical cloth top mousepad. Personally, I still prefer plastic top mousepads because of the increased speed and reduced friction they offer to mousing action. At the end of the day if you are a fan of cloth top mousepads that prefers control over speed, you should check out the X-Ray Technology Aqua 3 Gaming Mousepad.
