Good surface, strange shape, pricey [Posted on 2007-09-27] Owned for about a month now, not sure if I'd buy another one. It's basically an aluminum plate with two different mousing surfaces on each side, as well as 4 rubber non-skid pads (one in each corner per side).
The Exact Mat side, which I prefer, is a semi-glossy black polymer surface. It feels a little bumpy at first but my Habu mouse glides smoothly and precisely on it.
The Speed Mat side is almost like a flat-black matte spray-painted surface. It sounds and feels a bit more scratchy than the other side, and also shows finger oil any time a greasy hand touches it.
Can't say that I really notice a difference of speed/precision using either side, both seem to control as well and the same. Probably more of a personal preference and you probably won't find yourself flipping this over much.
My biggest complaint is its shape and size. It's overly big, and its odd shape doesn't seem to serve any purpose other than to annoy. To butt it up against my keyboard and allow my wrist to sit comfortably on it, it's turned (logo) upside down. It looks silly in any position with the corners stretched out, but having upside down it looks like it has horns on the top.
I give it 2 stars simply because the Exact control side is a great mouse surface for any mouse with Teflon pads on the bottom. On the flip side, the shape/size makes it a pain to fit on your desk, and you'll probably only use one side of the mouse pad once you've found your favorite.
Accurate & Responsive, But..... [Posted on 2007-12-02] The ExactMat is very responsive and mouse movements are extremely accurate. The item comes at a very reasonable price. I was very happy with it for the first few months. There are four thin rubber pieces which sit in the corners on each side of the mat, eight pieces total. They hold the mat onto the surface it is placed on. After 2 months one of the rubber pieces came loose. To date (5 months after purchase) 3 of the 8 pieces have come off. This has rendered one side of the mat off balance and useless. It is no longer under Amazons return policy. I am in the process of contacting Razer customer service. I doubt I would purchase this product again. ***Update: Just heard back from Razer customer "support". Razer does not supply replacemant parts for their products.***
Excelent surface [Posted on 2007-12-21] it has a special match for the razer copperhead mice, great advantage in games like quake, and it give great control in other programs like gimp...
Wired Optical Only! [Posted on 2007-12-29] Before buying it, know that this mousepad doesn't work with Laser mice. And that it will severely cripple the range of a Wireless mouse.
Otherwise, the shape is cool and it feels solid.
So far so good [Posted on 2008-01-10] I'm not one to buy an accessory like this (especially when its counterparts can be purchased for next to nothing), but the fact of the matter is that my 2000 DPI Razer Copperhead mouse is too precise for regular cloth mouse pads. I was tired of dealing with the "skippy" pointer movement so I decided to give my mouse's relative, the Razer ExactMat, a try. My pointer movement is now "smooth" and I couldn't be happier with this product.
