The ROCCAT Taito Shiny Black Gaming Mousepad features a unique, heat-blasted Nano Matrix surface that delivers maximum gliding speed in all directions - with optimal control - so you can turn up the heat on your opponents every game. And the Taito"s shiny black surface not only looks elegant - its slick surface also allows for perfect tracking with any mouse sensor. CONQUER MORE WITH NANO SPEED AND PRECISION - Textile mousepads with a standard woven structure only offer effective gliding in one direction. The Taito is different: its heat-treated Nano Matrix construction delivers lightning-quick gliding on both the X and Y axis - without sacrificing any control. Plus, movement on the Y axis benefits from additional vertical stabilizing properties built into the Nano Matrix - which means up and down movement is always fast and rock steady. Up close the Nano advantage is easy to see. Each Taito provides a form fit to the playing surface, compensating for any unevenness on a gamer"s desk - which means uninterrupted gliding on every surface. Players who prefer a lower mouse sensitivity - i.e., a lower dpi - will appreciate more room to move, while high-sense gamers who use upper range dpi settings will enjoy the smaller, space-saving Taito versions. PLAY WORRY FREE - The Taito"s non-slip rubberized backing provides a steady grip during even the most hectic game. Even if you try moving it with your palm, the Taito won"t budge. We"ve also ruggedized the Taito for extremely active play, giving it an exceptionally robust design built for a long gaming life. GAME WITH WHISPER-QUIET MOVEMENT - The heat-blasted Nano Matrix structure provides less friction, which means mouse movements can barely be heard. Nearby LAN opponents won"t hear you attacking.
