Review of SteelSeries QcK Limited-Edition Wrath of the Lich King Fragmat

First off, the QcK is a great mousing surface. I've used it with optical, and laser mice and experienced no problems with either. Let's face it though, it's just a mouse pad. So, I wouldn't expect to experience any problems with it.The QcK does a great job without being made from fancy, over the top aluminum, glass or crazy composite materials...all of which are nice surfaces...none of which provide better control or comfort. In recent months, it's the surface I always seem to return to. For me, it's the most comfortable pad out there. Six or ten hour gaming sessions on hard surface pads leave the heel of my hand sore. Soft pads are much better for longer play times. The QcK's surface is kind of a semi-gloss fine woven cloth while the underside is a soft rubbery material. It can sit on my glass topped desk for months without ever budging. The rubber practically locks it down even though it doesn't seem particularly grabby.

The WotLK edition is gorgeous. The image quality is very good. The product comes well packed. It's secured and kept flat in a plastic clamshell, which itself is packed in a cardboard half sleeve. Where I find it (as well as the plain, no image QcK) lacking is in thickness. The regular QcK's are around an eighth of an inch thick. They make a thicker pad with the same suface called the QcK Heavy, but it's much, much bigger and won't fit my desk. If anyone from Steelseries happens to read these reviews, please consider making the QCK Heavy in your two smaller sizes!

The WotLK Limited Edition QcK is five bucks more than the same pad without the image. Is it worth it? Well, that's up to you. Even at $15, the QcK is one of the cheapest gamer oriented mousing surfaces out there. Most importantly, it does a great job.
