Like any self respecting geek, I enjoy a good
frag fest every now and then. I’m not what you would call a hard core or
professional player, but I certainly spend more time blowing up polygons than
is healthy. So, when XTrac Pads wrote me an email asking what the biggest
mouse pad I’d ever seen was, of course I was interested! They graciously sent
out their latest, dubbed the Ripper XL. Think tee shirts…or the size of your
favorite tankard of caffeine, and you get the idea. This pad is definitely big
enough to ensure you’ll never have to pick your mouse up to re-center it
during a match again!
Packaging &
Contents
The Ripper XL was shipped in one of those large
cardboard tubes with plastic caps that small posters usually arrive in.

Sliding out the contents,
we have one massive mouse pad and a small package of Mad Dotz, XTrac’s
solution to non slippery mouse feet. XTrac certainly was not joking when they
said the Ripper XL was big…the thing was easily bigger than the display on my
monitor. The Ripper XL is fairly plain considering some of the stuff that
comes through our labs, with only a relatively conservative but sharp looking
graphic down the right side. The cloth top has a good feel to it, and the pad
also has rubber backing to help prevent sliding.
