The FX-series surface is unique and definitely maintains all the soft-mat-specific traits I like while nearly ridding itself of all those I hate. That combined with its reasonably competitive price make it a great product in my book, but keep in mind that the glide is not the same as on the regular soft mats you are used to. As with the UC-series, the FX mats are available in five different sizes, which makes finding one that fits your bill easy. These mats cost just as much as those of the UC series, which, in my opinion, also makes them of better value to the average gamer.
