After weeks of intense gaming sessions sprawled across its expansive surface, I’m ready to share my thoughts on the Glorious XXL Extended Gaming Mouse Mat/Pad – Stealth Edition (G-XXL-Stealth). This behemoth of a mousepad promises ample space for both keyboard and mouse, and I was eager to see if it lived up to the hype. This in-depth review will cover everything from its initial unboxing to its long-term performance.

The G-XXL-Stealth immediately impresses with its sheer size: 18″ x 36″. This provides more than enough room for even the most expansive keyboard setups, with plenty of extra space for mouse movements. The smooth, low-friction cloth surface is a joy to use, allowing for precise control and effortless gliding. The stitched edges are neatly done, showing a commitment to quality construction. The thick, non-slip rubber base ensures the mat remains firmly in place, even during the most frantic gaming moments. Its machine-washable design is a welcome bonus, making cleanup a breeze.

In terms of performance, the G-XXL-Stealth exceeded expectations. The smooth surface allowed for consistent tracking with my various mice (both optical and laser), and the lack of friction translates to faster and more precise movements. The anti-slip base held strong throughout testing; I experienced zero slippage or shifting, even when performing rapid movements. After several weeks of daily use, the surface shows minimal wear, testament to its durability. The size is, without a doubt, its biggest advantage. I found myself able to relax my arms and shoulders more, which has greatly improved my comfort during longer gaming sessions.

One minor observation: The thickness is minimal, so while the base prevents slippage, the mat itself isn’t very padded. This isn’t a major issue for me, but users who prefer a more cushioned surface might want to consider that.

Pros:

• Massive size accommodates full-sized keyboards and ample mouse space.
• Smooth, low-friction surface for precise control.
• Durable stitching on the edges.
• Strong, non-slip rubber base.
• Machine washable for easy cleaning.
• High-quality construction.

Cons:

• Minimal padding.
• Might be too large for some desks.

Overall, the Glorious XXL Extended Gaming Mouse Mat/Pad – Stealth Edition (G-XXL-Stealth) is an excellent product. Its exceptional size, smooth surface, and robust construction make it a top choice for gamers who need ample space and precise control. While the lack of padding is a minor drawback, the numerous advantages far outweigh this minor inconvenience. I highly recommend the G-XXL-Stealth to anyone looking for a premium, large-format gaming mousepad.
