One of the most iconic mouse pads in the world is without a doubt the SteelSeries QcK. Around for many years now, loved and renowned by the gaming community, the whole line-up has gotten broader yesteryear, and the most anticipated models were probably the Heavy and Edge variants, with the latter finally featuring stitched edges.

You can buy them off AliExpress. Pretty much all the custom pads you can order from China have the same surface and base material, and a lot of them come from Huado.

I don't use mouse pad with normal edges any more.
And only Steelseries Mouse Pad. In past I cleaned mouse pad with one brush and material stay long time same as new.
I suppose their production is better quality than other mouse pads from similar materials and they are not expensive.
Before this QCK Limited was option with stitched edges but this is better because it's thinner.

Other Heavy option with 4mm I afraid they will be ruined very fast if Steelseries didn't use extra measures to protect edges.
Every mouse pad I had edges are rolled for less than 6 months if they are not stitched and I talk about 2-3mm thickness. 4mm is even easier to destroy.

I'd object that, I've used a QcK+ SK Gaming Edition, a Corepad C1 and some other non-stitched pads before extensively, and never had any fraying on them.

I love both the size and surface type, plus that it was about 18 bucks including shipping. No tracking anomalies, laid flat relatively quickly. Good stuff. :) Not sure about reviewing it yet.

Best pad I've used and still have is the Qpad Heaton XL hard. It's the perfect pad for me.

Just asking cause while I do like Goliathus I have atm, it doesnt show exactly perfect tracking for my cheap G102, neither its.. hm, perfect in any way actually. Btw. those pads, are they even ones that are offered with custom design (like you send them pic, they print it on it and you get custom pad)?

I have a big QCK Mass (heavy) in the office a Qck limited at home. Over time the edges of the heavy hurt when gaming. They cut my arm. And the fabric is not the smoothest. So I bought the QCK limited which in the beginning was really smooth and fast. Now it's sluggish. Ive cleaned it thoroughly but the rubber on the bottom is not firm enough and it gives too much when putting a little pressure on the mouse (rival 310 and ec1 both with pretty large mouse feet). The mouse will dig in en there will be a lot of friction to move it. I've done away with it and ordered myself a Zowie G-TFX and a Steelseries QCK Edge to compare. They should come in any time this week.

QCK+ Limited is the best mouse mat I used in ages, better than the old ones like QCK+ Fnatic that I had for several years. Besides that, Corsair MM350 Large and Logitech G640 are also very good, but not quite the same as the Limited. I also have HyperX Fury S Pro Speed Large but this one I can't like it at all, maybe it's not made for me, I saw that a lot of ppl use it. After I'll destroy the Limited, which will happen in a year I think so, I hope the Edge can fulfill my needs.
