Building a dream PC? Got your Core2 Duo processor, SLI graphics, 2GB PC8500 DDR2, 800 watt power supply. How about a mouse mat? If your still stuck with the Simpsons mousemat your mother bought you last year, it's time to seriously think about an upgrade.

The Razor Mantis if the perfect surface for low or high sensitivity gamers who require large areas to roll around on. There is nothing worse than running out of mousemat during a intense fragging session. Razor sent us the control version of the Mantis that allows precise movement and pin point accuracy. They also produce the same mat with a high speed surface for gamers who require quick movements and lightning fast response.

Technical Specifications Razer Mantis

Precision Mousing Surface

1. Precision surface optimised for gaming

2. Speed surface developed for High sensitivity gamers / Control surface developed for Low sensitivity gamers

3. Oversized 444mm x 355mm x 4.3mm design

4. Fibertek^TM cloth weave for superior performance

5. Rubber base ensures grip on the smoothest surfaces

Built out of foam and covered with woven fibres of FiberTek, it is pure luxury - especially when combined with a Razor Mouse. In fact, the smooth surface works well with any laser mouse, slightly lowering the DPI as a result of the surface texture to allow pinpoint accuracy for sniping in your favourite games.

And it's not just for gamers. Professional design users will benefit too from the control surface. We found photoshop much more accomodating due to the fine movements afforded by the mat.

In Counter Strike Source, the mat really shined allowing precise tracking and sniping. Headshots became uncannily easy resulting in accusations of bot from frustrated players on the server. If only they knew our secret Razor advantage

The Bottom Line

If you are still wondering why your headshots are more hit and miss than hit, it's time to think about an upgrade to one of the best gaming surfaces on the market. The Razor Mantis is a seriously good. Gamer or design professional, this mat will transform your mouse into a kick ass mean machine. The large surface provides controlled luxury, tracking movements with precision and accuracy. It's tough, reliable and easy to clean. At around Â£17, everybody should own one of these mats.

If you combine this with a Razor mouse, you'll have a winning team that will put you way ahead of the pack and leave the competition chewing at their mats. Top stuff!
