QcK Prism XL

It was between the SteelSeries QcK Prism cloth and cheaper XL alternatives. In the end I opted for the SS QcK Prism XL as after watching unboxing videos I saw the material was slightly different than even the other SteelSeries alternatives. It is thicker and smoother than their regular XL cloth and it is less smooth than their hard cloth. It is also thinner than their heavy duty alternative. So it actually was the perfect material that I was looking for in terms of smoothness. I didn't want something that was too cloth-like in feeling. I wanted a very smooth polyester feeling but not something that was too slippery like a hardcover material. The RGB lighting has a great range and in the SteelSeries software which I already use for their mouse and headset it was immediately recognised. You can either have them all go to the same colour scheme or you can customise it individually. It has two independent zones (top and bottom) and the light is of course brightest on the left side of the mousepad where the RGB lighting is situated but even during day time the colours reach the other end of the mousepad which is impressive. You can fully change the colour scheme and there are many possibilities here you can also change the general brightness level of the pad as well. This was especially great as the pad has an insanely good max brightness level. I was really surprised! In my pictures you can see the brightness level with it about halfway, I turned it down as I didn't want it to distract my eyes from the action going on my monitor in games. But you can find the perfect sweet spot that suits yourself by adjusting the brightness level in the SteelSeries software. In terms of the surface it has held up really well these past few months of constant use and cleaning it is quite easy you just need a slightly damp cleaning cloth - ideally a microfiber cloth that does not leave cloth residue after going over it with a damp one you can use a dry one. In terms of dust collection I notice my desk seems to collect more dust than the cloth, don't ask me how that works, but in any case cleaning it once per month was fine for where I live. If you live in an area with more dust in the air you might find you need to clean it more often. The cloth works well with my mouse and I noticed an immediate difference versus using the mouse on the table surface. I never get any tracking errors while using the mousepad and I would definitely recommend going XL as then you no longer have to fight the position of the mousepad when adjsuting your keyboard position. I use a different position of my mouse and keyboard for different games. Apex Legends - Call of Duty I put my keyboard at an angle and use the mouse quite close to the keyboard while strategy games like League - Minion Masters - StarCraft 2 I use the mouse further away from the keyboard and the keyboard straight. This is where the XL comes in handy as I just have so much room to move my mouse and keyboard around on the pad without ever having to move the pad itself. I have a very smooth table surface and the pad stays in its position. Though overtime I do notice it moves ever so slightly each day and I just have to re-position the entire pad a few times a month. A word of warning, you will probably need to get used to the pad the first week, as the RGB is wrapped in a plastic sewing for durability. But once you find the sweet spot in terms of how you want the pad to be positioned on your table (in my sitting position and on my table I found it best to have the pad overhanging the edge of the table). But in any case once you find that sweet spot the RGB sewing won't bother you anymore. Additionally just from daily use the sewing flattens down with the pad a bit so it gets more comfortable with usage.

The SteelSeries QcK Prism Cloth is hands down one of the best gaming mouse pads I’ve used! The cloth surface provides superb precision and control, making movements feel ultra-smooth and responsive—perfect for both casual and competitive gaming. The RGB lighting is absolutely stunning! The dual-zone illumination adds a stylish touch to my setup, and the SteelSeries Engine software makes it easy to customize colors and effects. It syncs beautifully with other RGB peripherals, creating an immersive experience. The non-slip base keeps the mouse pad firmly in place, and the quality feels premium. If you're looking for a high-performance gaming mouse pad with gorgeous RGB, this is a must-have!

Excellent product, ordered to replace a smaller one I’ve had for a number of years. Rolled out and laid pretty flat right away, overnight this was then completely flat. Cleaning can be a pain with these led models, but the look on the desk is worth it.

A few others have mentioned here that the brightness of the LED strip to the right-hand side is much dimmer than the left-hand side. The connector is based on the left side, so it makes sense. However, some video reviews showed it working fine. On speaking to SteelSeries, they arranged a replacement. Unfortunately, that had the same issue. This could just mean that it's down to the amount of power available through the USB ports on my system. I don't have anything else to test on. All that said, it's a perfect pad. Easy to clean, big and looks great, especially with the LED synced up with other products. Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely love this product! First of all the mat is made out of excellent quality fabric, it is robust and the rubber material underneath keeps the mat in place. The LED lights are a lot bigger and brighter than I expected and I love how you can customise through the Steelseries software. Additionally the stitching that holds the LED lights to the mat is strong, flush and complements the design. After testing out many games, I can safely say the mousemat safely meets your needs if you want to play fast paced competitive games. Overall although this product is pricey. You are getting an excellent quality product. I have used this for month prior to this review and there is no sign of wear.

I bought this two years ago. Even when was new, the light was not very strong on the other side as is not LED through all the tube, is just a strong light at the base that is shining through the tube. Now i've noticed that is completely dead. Just a little bit of light on the side where the device is. A totaly waste of money. Expensive desk matt. I have steelseries keyboard and mouse and i'm happy with them, they are good products but this desk matt is a waste of money for sure. Next time when i'm buying a LED desk matt, is going to be a cheap chinese unbranded one for no more than £20.

Not sure what all the complaints are about regarding it not staying flat. Mine went flat after 2 days of the keyboard and mouse being laid on it. Really good mouse mat, little bit of glide on the first couple of weeks but as it's wearing it doesn't seem to be as slippery. Perfect size, plenty of space. RGB is bright enough, it slightly fades towards the right side but still looks great. Happy overall

I bought one of these and it was great until the light became dim after only a few months. I replaced it and the replacement refused to lay flat. Even now after 3 months it still has major ripples in it no matter what i try. I'm currently having to use sticky fixers and clamps to be able to work on it. This shouldn't be the case. If it worked and laid flat this would be a 5-star product review but i can't give 5-stars when i'm constantly fighting it :(

Perfect padmouse

Great and recommend

Perfecto, excelente calidad y compatibilidad con otros accesorios steelseries

Bardzo dobra podkładka. Format idealny jak ktoś ma pełnowymiarowe biurko dedykowane tylko do komputera. Przyjemny materiał łatwy do czyszczenia. Podświetlenie super, zwłaszcza jak zintegrowane z innymi LEDami od komputera np klawiatura SteelSeries. Ledy solidnie obszyte na krawędzi, cieniutkie, jak grubość samej podkładki więc nie ma dyskomfortu podczas opierania ręki.

なぜかプラスチック部分に傷がたくさんついていた。 布の裏には手あかのような白い箇所がたくさんあった。 どうみても開封済みには見えないが、 なぜなんだろう。 サポートに問い合わせたら交換には応じてくれた。
