After weeks of intense use, putting the Glorious 3XL Extended Gaming Mouse Mat (G-3XL-STEALTH) through its paces in various gaming scenarios and general desktop use, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review. This behemoth of a mousepad promises unparalleled space and smooth tracking, but does it deliver on its ambitious claims?

Features

The G-3XL-STEALTH boasts a substantial 24″ x 48″ surface area, providing ample room for even the most sprawling gaming setups. Its stitched edges are a significant plus, preventing fraying and adding a touch of premium quality. The smooth cloth surface is a joy to use, and the non-slip rubber base keeps it firmly in place, even during the most frantic gaming sessions. The manufacturer also advertises machine-washability, a definite bonus for maintaining hygiene. In my testing, the stitching held up perfectly, showing no signs of wear even after extended use.

Performance

The mousepad’s performance was consistently excellent. My mouse (a Logitech G502) glided smoothly across the surface, allowing for precise movements in both fast-paced games like Overwatch and more methodical tasks like photo editing. The tracking was impeccable, with no noticeable inconsistencies or lag. Even during intense gaming sessions, the mousepad remained firmly in place, thanks to its robust non-slip base. The large surface area was a game-changer, eliminating the need to constantly reposition my mouse. I particularly appreciated this during long gaming sessions or while working on large design projects.

I did notice a slight increase in friction compared to some other mousepads I’ve used, which might be a personal preference. Some users might prefer a slightly faster glide. However, this slight increase in friction actually helped with precision, especially in games requiring pinpoint accuracy. It’s a trade-off that worked for me.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Huge surface area, excellent tracking, durable stitching, non-slip base, machine washable.
• Cons: Slightly higher friction than some other pads (could be a pro for precision), Packaging could be improved (no issues with the mat itself but could be more eco-friendly).

Final Verdict

The Glorious 3XL Extended Gaming Mouse Mat (G-3XL-STEALTH) is a top-tier mousepad that delivers on its promises. Its massive size, smooth surface, and durable construction make it an ideal choice for gamers and designers alike. While the slightly higher friction might not appeal to everyone, its benefits for precision outweigh this minor drawback for me. I highly recommend the G-3XL-STEALTH to anyone looking for a high-quality, large mousepad that can handle the rigors of extended use.
