Zalman started selling its AMP1000 aluminum-rubber mousepad. This mousepad uses a combination of anodized aluminum and rubber as its primary material. Its surface is optimized for all kinds of mice with resolutions well over 1000 dpi. Its surface has a smooth matte-black finish, and should present a balance between speed and control. A shiny chrome line frames it. The AMP1000 makes zero use of fabrics, and hence is spill-resistant. The AMP1000 measures 210(W) x 297(H) x 3(D) mm, weighing 668 g. Although its base is rubberized, the AMP1000 has rubber feet for additional grip with the surface below. The AMP1000 has reached Japanese stores, priced at 3,800 JPY, or about US $49.
