CHOOSING THE RIGHT MAT

Once you’ve found your perfect mouse, selecting the right mat to support it is vital to maximizing its performance, so you can game to your fullest potential. To decide which Razer mat is the one for you, it comes down to two things: mouse sensitivity and mat surface.

MOUSE DPI SETTINGS

MAT SURFACE

MOUSE DPI SETTINGS

Dots per inch (DPI) is a measurement of how many pixels are displaced on screen for every inch of physical mouse movement. In general, the lower your DPI setting is, the larger motion (and mat surface) you will require to move the cursor across the screen.

LOWER DPI
400 DPI

HIGHER DPI
1600 DPI

MAT SURFACE

The right mat should have a surface that complements your playstyle and favorite game genre. With a full range of options, let’s break down what each type offers and how it can help your game.

HARD

Ideal for playstyles that favor speed and quick aim, hard surfaces offer minimal friction so you can pull off smooth, effortless mouse movements.

HYBRID

Ideal for a balanced playstyle that values both speed and control, hybrid mats offer the quick, consistent glide of a hard surface with the stopping power and precision of a soft surface.
