now I've actually wanted to try this mousepad for a very long time one of my co-workers actually has one and swears by it this is the SteelSeries 5l and the 5l means 5 and the L means layers so this is a unique mousepad and that is constructed from both hard and soft materials for a unique gliding experience now I'm actually a cloth user for the most part I I prefer a little bit more friction but there are certain things I don't like about cloth like how quickly it wears out and I think I mean it could be a little bit improved so I've wanted to give this a try for quite a long time basically how this works is they start with a rubber with rubber junk at the bottom to keep it from slipping around then they have a hard plastic compound as the next layer then the next layer is a soft good poly isoprene ok awesome so that's layer number 3 and then they have a cloth a durable extremely strong cloth layer just over top of that and last but not least they put a thin plastic coating that gives you the texture of the underlying cloth which is what I like about a flock pad but it also gives you in theory the durability of a plastic surface now I'm gonna try and get the seal broken here so we can get the mousepad itself out I realized there's not a whole lot to unbox about a mousepad but once I've had a chance to gain with this one a little bit I'll try and update the video with annotations to give you my thoughts on it so first of all be fine pretty much nothing inside in terms of accessories hello there and I think oh here we go we've got a couple things inside the mouse pad itself so first of all we have their steel series product guide showcasing where you can see other steel series products great and then we have a SteelSeries sticker professional gaming gear and then we have a piece of paper - oh it covers AHA so this is the rubber like kind of textured it looks kind of like monkey art you know when they hold the paint and they throw it at the canvas it looks kind of like that so I chillie use pads with this stuff on the bottom before works very well for keeping it from slipping around and then let's have a look and here I don't know how well this is going to show we do have HD but I still don't know how well you're gonna be able to see it so you can see we have our rubber junk at the bottom then we have the hard plastic and you can see that's what gives this pad its rigidity is this thick hard plastic layer then we have like a thick kind of rubbery layer okay and then we get down to a much thinner cloth layer and then over the whole thing is kind of a is a plastic coating that's kind of it feels almost like a cloth that's been sprayed with that waterproofing plastic so I've been looking forward to trying this up for quite a while thank you for checking out my unboxing of the steel series 5l and don't forget to visit my blog at
