PTF-X

PROS -Ships in FLAT BOX (no rolled up edges!!!)Perfect size! (13.5" wide x 12" tall)Outstanding stitching and gripCONS -You don't own it yetI came from the GTF-X which is the same pad but in a larger format. I LOVED my GTF-X, my mouse would glide effortlessly over the surface with minimal friction, and yet plenty of control. However, after nearly a year of flawless use I started to feel that the pad was just a bit too big for my taste. Looking around for alternatives I came across the smaller format version, but was hesitant to purchase because I wasn't certain the PTF-X size would be large enough, and others were complaining about receiving the mousepad rolled up in a tube which guarantees your pad will NEVER sit flat.Suffice it to say none of these problems were evident upon receipt. Pad is a perfect size, (Maybe 1/2" too narrow? I could go for 14" instead of 13.5" but adjustment will happen I'm sure) and it was shipped in a flat box preserving integrity. Zero complaints here, call me a satisfied customer!UPDATE --Still using this pad, and it's going strong! After 20 months, it remains in great shape (make sure you clean it regularly with water and a cloth) and feels nice and smooth with my Zowie ZA13 mouse. There's some light wear on the stitching, but that's all. I've easily adjusted to the size, and it remains my all time favorite mousepad. 100% stand by it and Zowie, BENQ has my vote of confidence.From the looks of it, there's still several years of heavy use remaining and I will 100% purchase this mousepad again when it inevitably wears out.

I couldn't be happier with my PTF-X and I'm saying this coming from a Hayate OSTSU. This pad sits flat and is playable right out of the box. If you like the rougher feel of the Artisan pads, you might want to give this one a chance. I can't say yet, but it looks and feels more durable than the Artisan pads with a very similar plastic/fabric, hard/soft hybrid feel.The size and dimensions of this pad hit that Goldilocks zone for me; I've used many different large pads in the past and I much prefer something more reasonable like this.If you have been keeping an eye on this pad, but have been apprehensive about making the purchase due to the rolled packaging, rest assured Amazon's stock is now caught up to the flat protective packaging and pads will be flat and ready to use out of the box!

I can't tell the difference but the reviewers say you can. I'd say skip this one but the build quality is nice.

Got a new desk, my ROG pad was way too big.This Zowie Pad has made my l laser mouse stop being spastic. Good mice cost so much now I wasn't going to get a new one but mine works right again.Wish there was a third size like 24 X 14! Got two so my TKL would fit on it also.

Meets the needsPlenty of space

This gaming mouse pad works very well with my Zowie EC2-A optical gaming mouse as it tracks very smooth with very good accuracy. The PTF-X has a nicely stitched border to prevent fraying of the edges and a grippy rubber base to prevent sliding. However, because the pad came rolled up in its packaging, it was curling up so much it would not lie flat and would not stay in place on my desk. It still hasn't flattened out completely even after a few weeks of use. The pad itself also feels a bit too light - the rubber base could be a bit more robust and weighty to help keep the pad flat on the table surface.I'll keep using the pad to flatten it out as I really love the super low friction surface of the PTF-X when gaming. Hopefully BenQ changes the packaging on this product and ships it in a flat container to avoid this curling issue, or maybe they can make the pad a bit heavier to reduce the curling effect. If you decide to buy this mouse pad I would suggest reverse rolling it or laying heavy flat objects on it when you're not using it to accelerate the flattening process.

Very fast with ceramic feet on a mouse.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS THING. It has embroidered edges, unlike other cheap mouse pads. This gives it a very high quality look and feel, along with ultimately preventing peeling that occurs after heavy use.Also, it's very subtle with no large, tacky symbols or brand logo's painted on. Beautifully minimalist.5 stars, do recommend.
