Razer Gigantus - Black Edition Mouse Pad Presentation

Others/Miscelleneous by stefan @ 2017-02-14

After the initial inspection, we put the mouse pad to work by using a Cougar Revenger mouse and running games such as Mafia III, ELOA, Black Desert Online, Ghost in The Shell but also Resident Evil 7 Biohazard: by designing the Gigantus as a control pad, we did not need a long learning curve in fast-paced titles. At different DPI levels, the Pixart PMW 3360 tracked flawlessly while the large surface of the mat meant that we did not need to lift up the mouse and reposition it during longer gaming sessions.

Packaging, A Closer Look

In this article we will concentrate our views upon another Razer product which does not require power to operate properly, while its main goal is to offer gamers a control surface for their high-performance mice so they will have good precision no matter the used DPI. To be more exact, we are discussing about the Razer Gigantus Ultra Large Mouse Pad that is available in three versions: Elite Edition, the Special Black Edition but also the Team Razer Edition (the last two are RazerStore.com exclusives). Our version is the Special Black Edition and comes packed inside quite a large cardboard enclosure (but it is self-explanatory when judging by its overall size):

 

 

 

The box is sealed but in order for the potential customer to feel the pad finishing, Razer has also included a small cutout:

 

 

 

On the external packaging area, the manufacturer has also included the list of main product highlights, but also the dimensions of the pad. The latter is quite important so you will be able to figure out right from the start if it does fit properly on your desk or not:

 

 

 

 

The pad has a size of 445 mm x 445 mm and this special edition is all-black on the top area, where the textured cloth finish resides:

 

 

 

The Gigantus is quite thick at 5mm and under the textured cloth Razer has used high-density foam:

 

 

 

In one of the corners you will find the Razer logo and surprisingly we can declare this one as the single product flaw: the logo is rubberized and raised from the surface so the mouse will actually have very high difficulties moving on it (most of the time the mouse has abruptly stopped when touching any corner of the logo). We can go past this small flaw by placing the Gigantus with the Razer logo opposed to our position:

 

 

 

The third pad layer is composed of rubber, which sports the well-known signature Razer color:

 

 

 

A closer look at this layer will reveal small hexagonal shapes:
