RGB XL Mouse Pad Closer Look

Let’s take a closer look at XPG Battleground XL Prime RGB Gaming Mouse Pad. Here is what XPG is saying about their product, “Made with smooth, scratch-resistant, and splash-proof CORDURA® fabric, and sporting an extra-spacious footprint, the XPG Battleground XL PRIME mouse pad is your foundation for great gaming.”

The dimension of the mouse pad is 900x420x4mm (LxWxD). We have a large surface area on the lift here. The mouse pad came rolled on to a cardboard roller. So, make sure to even out the pad on the surface before using otherwise you may not get the smooth tracking with the mouse early on.

We have an evenly woven and smooth surface for convenient longer hours of gaming sessions. The soft surface provides for a comfortable resting platform for your wrists and arms.

CORDURA brand Fabric! In case you are not aware of CORDURA, it was originally developed by E.I. du Pont in 1929 and saw a large-scale implementation in the military particularly in World War-II. The CORDURA fabrics are made of Nylon but can be blended with cotton or other fibers.

CORDURA is actually a collection of fabric technologies with a wide range of applications. If you are interested in reading more about it, take a look at Wikipedia. So what does it mean to have used the CORDURA n the mouse pad? We have splash proofing and scratch resistant surface on top of the mouse pad making it durable. We have a 4mm thick pad sandwiched between the CORDURA and the anti-slip base. The unit has 250 Knits of CORDURA fabric.

There is an XPG logo on the top right section of the mouse pad in the red color which looks good in person.

There is an XPG branding on the left side of the mouse pad which extends over to the entire width. It is also in the red color.

There is a black color controller housing on the left top area of the mouse pad. It has a single button on it. Pressing the button will change the RGB lighting mode with every press. There is a USB Micro-B interface on the housing.

The detachable cable has a length of 1.8m and is in black color. The ends have gold connectors.

The power rating of the RGB gaming mouse pad is 5V. The product is made in Taiwan.

The backside of the mouse pad has anti-slip rubber to keep the entire mouse pad firmly in place and prevents it from bunching up to ensure smooth movements every time. The backside has a gray shade texture.

The RGB strips run on the entire length or border of the gaming mouse pad. The mouse pad has two-zone RGB lighting which can be activated by double-pressing the button on the housing of the controller. A close up on the border of the Battleground XL Prime shows a perfect knitting job.

We have a large and smooth surface area to place our other gaming peripherals on the mouse pad and still enjoy a spacious layout with freedom of movement and tracking for the mouse.

The xpg xl Gaming Mouse Pad review has a length of 900mm and a depth of 420mm. the thickness of the pad is 4mm. It is using CORDURA fabric for durability and reliability. We have a splash-proof and scratch resistant surface with even woven. I am not sure what kind of liquid it can withstand but our water drop testing passed the gaming mouse pad.

The mouse pad comes with a 1.8m detachable USB cable with Micro-B interface for connecting to the controller on the mouse pad. The knitting job is perfect and we have an RGB strip running on the entire border of the mouse pad. There is a button on the controller and we can control the lighting effect using it. The mouse pad does not support ARGB lighting which is let down especially in this price range.

I gave some time to the mouse pad to even it out on the surface and since then, I am enjoying my gaming and typing experience using the XPG Summoner Mechanical Gaming Mouse Pad and XPG Primer RGB Gaming Mouse.

The XPG Battleground XL Prime is listed at Rs.8999/- at the time of the review and comes with two years of warranty from XPG.
