techPowerUp and TechwareLabs have reviewed the ROCCAT Alumic double-sided gaming mousepad, which is made of aluminium and features Speed and Control surfaces.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • techPowerUp:

    "ROCCAT have a seriously good mouse pad in the Alumic. The two sides are nice, but you have to bear in mind you can only use one at a time so it is borderline gimmick. Both sides perform really well, but there are some compromises due to the flip-flop design.

    Take the stands for instance, they have to protrude on both sides of the mat to work, this means that you run into them occasionally while gaming. This issue could have been avoided if ROCCAT had focused on delivering a normal single sided gaming mat."

  • TechwareLabs:

    "This is what it all boils down to, the best performance in the world doesn’t make up for a product that is a daily nuisance. The ROCCAT ALUMIC is very well designed and has great usability. the sturdy design performs flawlessly holding place in your desk and making you forget its actual placement. my mouse has Teflon feet, and over months of use I frequently have to clean them off because of gathering dust that leads to excessive drag. Using the speed side of the mouse pad I was reminded of the first usage of my mouse, the scratches on the feet reflecting the frequent use was a thought of the past."
