Ultra-Smooth Low Friction Surface Mouse movement on the G.L.I.D.E. 7 Gaming Surface is 18 percent smoother than gaming surfaces constructed from comparable materials. Carefully selected materials coupled with an ultra-smooth surface texture promote flawless mouse tracking. XL Surface Area Measuring 150 percent larger than the average mouse pad, the XL surface area is ideal for all styles of mousing. Whether you prefer to keep your DPI low or high, or your mouse movement large or minimal, the G.L.I.D.E. 7 delivers extremely detailed mouse feedback. Scientifically Proven to Enhance Sensor Performance In order to track movement, the laser sensor in a mouse relies on receiving specific information from your gaming surface, obtained through reflections of the laser beam. The surface upon which you use your mouse is very important. Use it on a dark surface that absorbs light from the same spectrum in which the laser operates & the sensor wont receive enough information, if any at all, & cant detect that the mouse is moving. The surface shouldnt just reflect the laser like a mirror, known as "specular reflection." Instead, a mouse operates at peak efficiency when light reaching the sensor reflects in a broad range of directions, known as "diffuse reflection."
