Razer has simply introduced the world’s thinnest glass mouse pad and it seems beautiful

I wish to maintain my mousey ears to the bottom concerning all issues gaming mice and mouse pads, so I’ll be darned if my ears weren’t pricked by the pure titillation that Razer put out earlier right this moment. A black background, a mild contact of ambient music, and a plain black floor, slowly tilting within the void. Can that be… a glass mouse pad?

It can certainly, and apparently not simply any glass mouse pad however “the world’s thinnest”, the Razer Atlas Pro. The authentic Atlas launched a few years in the past, however this one is seemingly taking issues to a complete new, a lot thinner stage at simply 1.9 mm thick.

If you are questioning why that issues, it is principally to do with consolation in your wrist. Even with rounded edges, a thick glass pad can dig into your wrist slightly. To give slightly context, the ever-popular Wallhack SP-004 is 3.9 mm thick and the QPAD Obsidian that I sometimes use is 4 mm thick.

I can’t say I struggle too much with a 4 mm pad with rounded edges, but I certainly wouldn’t complain about half of that being shaved off. Just as long as it stays strong, that is, but Razer is claiming it has tempered glass that is “rigorously tested to withstand demanding long-term use while delivering consistent performance”, so all should be well if that’s correct.

The Atlas Pro does have rounded edges, too, and if my time with the Razer Hyperflux V2 is anything to go by, I don’t doubt it will look just as gorgeous in person as it does in the pictures. Aside from the thinness, that aesthetic might be one of the big pulls, as that thin, all-black or all-white surface looks wonderful.

Razer’s head of design Charlie Bolton explains: “The Atlas Pro was an opportunity to challenge ourselves in a category that had largely stood still. By rethinking how glass should sit and feel on the desk, we created a surface that’s thinner, more refined, and designed to integrate seamlessly into modern setups—and that process is what led to the world’s thinnest glass gaming mouse mat.”

None of this is to say anything about the pad’s glide, of course, and that’s what really matters. I’ve been testing a bunch of different mouse pads over the previous couple of months; there actually may be numerous variation on the subject of texture and really feel, each of which may affect how properly you carry out in-game, relying in your preferences. Fingers crossed Razer has nailed it for my very own model of slip-n-slide right here.
