CM Storm Control Rx & Power Rx Gaming Surfaces Review

2013-04-30
hey guys welcome back today we're looking at to gaming surfaces from coolermaster these are part of their CM storm series Dugger it specifically for gamers now when it comes to gaming mats some of the most important elements to look for include tracking size and the material and really whether you prefer a hard PVC mat or a soft one is really up to you now each mat is priced around $30 which is reasonable so let's first take a look at the power rx and the first thing you notice is the carrying case it's a really nice addition for mobile gamers but the mat might be a little bit too large for compact spaces as it would be considered to be extra large now for big desks however this is sort of the ideal size for large movements at lower dpi sensitivity and the math is very flexible and despite its large size it remains completely flat without any bumps and the power Rx is also very thin besides that 2.5 millimeters which I think will complement any gaming or workstation and the bottom is completely covered in the rubberized surface to prevent the mat from sliding and it does a really great job at keeping the mat stable no one comes down to tracking I personally prefer this type of surface and because it's so thin it does not depreciate the pressure so like some other thicker mats and provides very comfortable experience for Mouse movement the rounded edges also get rid of any irritation that might be caused for long use and there were no visible signs of wear after a few weeks of use which is very refreshing for a mousepad of this caliber now let's check out the control rx mousepad which is significantly thicker and isn't really made to be mobile it does carry the same exact dimensions as the power rx which would be perfect for large spaces with combination of low dpi sensitivity now despite its 5 millimeter thickness there's almost no depression and the surface is a tab smoother with a lot to find there which slightly improves the gliding speed this is where the mat gets the name of control is you're able to perform finer navigation for precise aiming and the bottom of the mat is also covered in a non-slip surface and it's almost adhesive and your mat is not going anywhere also the edges are well rounded which would mean less reps down the road but also gets rid of that hard edge that could irritate your arm so overall a very comfortable mousepad to use on a daily basis and of course after some testing with gaming and editing both the control and power are ex-service excellent choices if you are in the market for a new gaming surface both are well-made and provide great tracking comfort for your hand and a non-slip surface the size may not be for everyone and it would be nice to get some smaller options but overall the controller X and the power Rx are damn good products so thanks guys for watching and we'll see you
