Strider Chroma Hybrid Gaming Mouse Mat with Razer Chroma RGB: Hybrid Soft/Hard Mat - 19 Razer Chroma RGB Lighting Zones - Warp and Water-Resistant - Anti-Slip Base - Seamless Edges XXLarge

I've only had this mat for about a week, so I'm giving it 5 stars for now, but I'm leaving this review open to be edited depending on how it holds up long term. Coming from the Razer Goliathus, this is a clear upgrade. The continuous RGB lighting around the edges looks way better than the Goliathus (where the lighting felt more limited and segmented). The Strider Chroma is also noticeably more comfortable thanks to the hybrid soft/hard surface, and the slightly bigger size is perfect for a full keyboard + mouse setup. Visually it's stunning. The 19 RGB zones blend beautifully and it really ties the whole desk together. Now, here's my honest concern: I went through two Goliathus mats and on both of them the lighting died after about a year of use. Bought one, it failed, bought a second one, same exact issue. So I really hope Razer fixed those quality issues with the Strider Chroma and that this one lasts me at least 5 years without any problems. If the lighting fails within a year like the Goliathus did, I'll come back and drop this to 0 stars, because at this price point that would honestly be a scam. But for now, it deserves the full 5 stars. It's gorgeous, the lighting is incredible, and it feels like a premium product. Will update this review down the road. Fingers crossed.

As a preface, I'll mostly be talking about the RGB/LED lighting aspect and the merits the mouse mat has over others, but if RGB is not important to you, you can discard this review. The Razer Strider Chroma is hands down the best RGB mouse mat in terms of accommodating both mouse and keyboard. Most, if not all RGB extended mouse mats (as of writing this) are limited to one lighting zone, and the best you can get is two lighting zones. Additionally, most extended RGB mats tend to have issues where the LED lighting's luminosity is imperfect, such as hotspots and dimness. In other words, the lighting allocation for most RGB extended mats is not evenly lit. The 19 lighting zones of the Chroma Strider are unquestionably cutting-edge for an extended RGB mat. The Chroma Strider led lighting is evenly lit throughout the whole mat to a near-enough perfect degree (no hotspots and absence of dimness). The software lighting customization on Synapse is significantly more versatile than any extended RGB mouse mat I own with software integration. For context, I previously owned the SteelSeries QcK prism XL and the Corsair MM700. Comparing the Chroma Strider to the aforementioned extended RGB mats, the Corsair and Steelseries mats were limited to two lighting zones. The dimness and hotspots were more prevalent with the MM700 (in my experience), but the material cloth was very nice, and the software lighting was meh. The Qck Prism was better in the LED lighting department: better luminosity allocation but not perfect and software customization; however, the cloth material, in my opinion, was not as great as the MM700. There is no stitching with the Chroma Strider; it's seamless! The overall dimensions are perfect for my needs, not too big or too small. The water-resistant feature along with the good material quality comes in handy when I need to clean my mat, making it less prone to material degradation. I'm fond of the hybridized cloth material, but it may not be ideal for all users. If I could name a con, that might be the price, but I think it's reasonable, personally. All things considered, the Chroma Strider outshines all extended *RGB* mouse mats you can find on the market currently as of writing this. I'm very assuaged with this merchandise. Thank you, Razer!

The Razer Strider Hybrid Mouse Mat has quickly become my favorite mouse pad, offering the perfect blend of performance, durability, and practicality. Hybrid Surface: The combination of a soft base and a firm gliding surface provides smooth and precise mouse movements, making it perfect for gaming and productivity. Anti-Slip Base: The anti-slip base keeps the mat firmly in place, even during intense gaming sessions. No sliding or shifting at all. Durability: The anti-fraying stitched edges and water-resistant coating ensure the mouse pad holds up over time, even with heavy use. Portability: Despite its firm surface, the mat is rollable and portable, making it easy to transport for LAN parties or gaming setups on the go. Perfect Size: The large size gives ample space for wide mouse movements while fitting nicely on my desk. Aesthetic: The minimalist design and high-quality materials add a sleek and professional look to my setup. Overall: The Razer Strider Hybrid Mouse Mat strikes the perfect balance between control and speed. It’s durable, portable, and performs exceptionally well. Highly recommend it for anyone serious about gaming or looking for a premium mouse pad!

This mousepad is excellent. It’s a nice, large mousepad, it stays in place, it’s perfectly smooth and blends well with the rest of my setup. The only problem is that with the mousepad being all black, it is very prone to showing any sort of dust and/or gamer gunk that naturally accrues. The material is very soft though cheaper quality mousepads seem less likely to get as gunked up. You can absolutely clean this mousepad with some mild dish soap, a soft brush, and a little elbow grease, though it is some extra maintenance work that you should be aware of.

The surface offers a very consistent glide that seems to be quite resistant to humidity and temperature. It has a rough texture, which some could find not as comfy if they come from average cloth pads. Though I personally really like the roughness of the surface because, from my experience with other pads, this roughness is what contributes to the consistency and durability of it and is why it's a hybrid mousepad. The pad is overall quite hard with almost no give which also contributes to the hybrid feeling and the consistency, especially if you use mice with smaller skates since they won't sink in this pad unless you press down quite hard. I don't think you can get better edge stitching at around this price. The edges aren't sharp like unstitched pads and they're also not bumpy like many stitched ones because it's 99% flush with the surface on the Strider. Being 450x400mm it's the same size as most other big brand large version mousepads. I personally wish there was a slightly larger square version with more height at around $35, although it's not an issue at all unless you're using a VERY low sensitivity. The rubber base stickiness depends on the desk. I have no issues on mine and you can always spray a small amount of water on the desk or use some thin double-sided tape if you have issues with yours. The Razer logo doesn't get in the way at all. Very well made and placed. So far it's like a 9-9.5/10 for me, easily being the best pad I've used, and I've used like 10 other pads.

I started using full desk mats a few years ago and I never looked back. I replaced a Razer Gigantus XXL with this. The old mat started to get marked up and although it was functional, began looking old. This is a clear upgrade from the Gigantus. It's the same size (XXL version) but the surface is a different texture. It's a bit smoother and my mouse has a little less lag. It's also liquid resistant if you're the spilling type. The edges are stitched up very well (the Gigantus had no stitches edges) and seem like they'd be resistant to fraying, etc. Additionally, the Gigantus was prone to marking with fingernails, etc. like any traditional mouse pad. This has a surface which (so far) seems not to get that dig-in. Are there cheaper mats? Of course. Are there better made mats? You'd be hard-pressed to find one. If you're looking for a well-manufactured mat with great performance, look no further.

The rougher texture of this mouse pad won't be for everyone. This mouse pad combined with an ultra light weight mouse (Ninjutso Sora V2 in my case) and quality glass mouse skate dots (I use Pulsar Superglide skate dots) is the best combination or speed and accuracy i have ever tried. This is one of those changes that cause an actual tangible improvement to my gaming. The glass feet offer an effortless glide will the rougher texture of the pad offers just enough drag maintain full control and allow for immediate stopping on target. This is the first pad I have ever bought extra copies of in case it ever gets discontinued.

I'm coming from several years on the Logitech PowerPlay system. My new metal desk renders the wireless charging moot (hence getting a new mat to reduce wire clutter and to try something new), and I've been through a half dozen extras of the included G240 cloth mat, buying replacements around twice a year. The Razer Strider is a hybrid mat - somewhere between having the smooth, speedy glide of a hard surface, and the relatively high friction and precision of a cloth mat. I'd say 40% of the former and 60% of the latter for this mat specifically. So far, it's been a smooth transition coming from pure cloth (I imagine coming from a purely hard surface style mat would be more jarring). It's also my first time on a "desk cover" style mat, where you're meant to host your entire kbm setup on top of the mat with any other accessories that can justify being nearby. I'm happy with the look, and a big plus is that there's much more real estate for the mouse - the G240 wasn't exactly spacious, and the real estate here feels enormous by comparison. There's enough to arrange your setup in all kinds of ways and still have more than enough room dedicated to mouse use. It's slightly different coming from a smaller pad, which you'd normally position first then kind of position everything else "around" it. Having a larger pad that can host a variety of tech means the overall setup process is more holistic and integrated rather than isolated around different zones, if that makes sense. One thing that surprised me - the premium feel that started from unboxing the thing and getting it set up on my desk. It was rolled pretty tight but laid perfectly flat with no raised areas or persistent curls. Zero wrinkles, zero creases to speak of. It can't be overstated how *nice* that is. Even the Logitech hardmat included with the Powerplay system had a persistent curve that took several weeks to hammer down (which I never had the patience to sit through, which was a major factor in sticking to their cloth mats since they come packaged flat), and the cloth mats would curl or develop a crease for hours if you needed to roll them up for any reason. As mentioned before, I also had to replace them regularly - the sides would fray and unravel relatively quickly, and repeated cleanups to wipe off pet hair and debris would marr and eventually discolor the surface (not chemically, but texturally there'd be those lighter areas from wiping small sections of the material in different directions). A closeup shot showcases the quality of the surface and stitching. An extremely minor nitpick (more against certain video reviews than against the mat itself) - a lot of video reviews claim that the stitching on the edges is low profile enough that you can't feel them gliding the mouse over the edges of the pad. I disagree, at least based on my mouse model (G502 X Plus). There's a subtle but very noticeable tactile bump if you happen to move your mouse over the stitching. It's not jarring per se, but it *will* mess up your aim if you're in the middle of a tense 1v1 aim duel in, say, Valorant. Interestingly enough, Razer in its own marketing and on the box make zero claims about precision being uninterrupted by the stitching, so there's no reason to hold this against them. The bottom line is it's quite subtle, but expect it to affect moment to moment precision. For me personally, I appreciate having a gentle reminder to reposition my mouse, and on my previous pad, I never really had problems accidentally gliding off, and the available surface was much smaller. One less minor nitpick is that the surface has more of a texture to it compared to pure cloth mats. While not as "hard edged" as hard mats, it'll be noticeable. So if you have sensitive skin, you might want to think about getting something like wrist gaiters to alleviate. For me, it's not a problem. So this mat represents the best of both worlds - it has a glide reminiscent of a hardmat, but also retains a lot of the precision and control of a cloth mat. Like pure hardmats, it's water resistant and so far seems resilient, leaving no marks after vigorous wiping, but is also flexible and can be rolled up for transport with zero fear of developing persistent curls or creases. Strong recommend if you're interested in a hybrid style surface.

Alors, dans un premier temps j'étais très content et satisfait. Le tapis est grand, il glisse bien et résiste très bien à l'eau. Le problème, c'est qu'au fil du temps, la crasse pénètre le textile et est difficilement nettoyable vu qu'il agit comme une matière hydrophobe? Mais je l'utilise toujours, le reste est impeccable.

Muito bom

Parece que es un buen mousepad, se siente de buena calidad, no es molesta su textura. En cuanto al rendimiento vengo de un Qck+ y se siente un movimiento más libre, no hace que empeore tu AIM, al contrario ahora el tiempo de transición con tu puntero de "A a B" es más rápido sin perder precisión. Creó que no volveré jamás a los mousepads de 100% tela después de probar esto. "Digo creó por qué va de perlas, pero hace falta probar su durabilidad" IMPORTANTE: Por alguna razón con los mouse de la misma marca funciona de forma brutal, ya que al utilizar un Deathadder v2 y un Razer Viper Ultimate se siente perfecto; es rápido y a la vez extremadamente preciso cuando hay que hacer microajustes. En comparación con un Logitech G502, un Superlight X y un Hyperx PulseFire Haste, estos se sienten aún más rápidos, sin embargo el control no es tan fino como con el de los primeros. No digo que funcione mal con mouses de otras marcas, simplemente es increíblemente preciso con mouses de la misma Brand. Podría explicarlo de esta forma: Con un mouse Razer tienes una velocidad de 3 y un control de 5, con el resto de mouses una velocidad de 5 y un control de 3.

Wer billig kauft, der kauft zwei mal. Mit Glass Glides so gut wie auf Glas oder Holz mit Kunststoff auch besser als alles andere außer Hartplastik, Holz, Glas etc. Mega geiles Pad, wenn es jetzt auch noch hält, dann hat Razer mich als Kunden gewonnen.

I've always loved slow control pads. As a low sensitivity fps gamer, my arm gets thrown and I like to be able to stop on a dime. While looking for a new desk mat I happened across the Strider XXL and decided to give it a shot. I've never liked hard pads, and being extremely slick isn't my jam. The idea of a hybrid pad interested me though. Holy, am I ever impressed. She's fast and smooth, but still has just a touch of bite to stop immediately. Others have said this pad has a sandpaper quality to it, and I fully disagree. It's textured, it's technically "rough" as in not smooth, but it's not rough on my hand, wrist, or arm whatsoever. Textured, firm, but not coarse or uncomfortable at all. Being a cloth pad still gives a little bit of comfort for my hand and arm on it, but it's not a plush or muddy cloth. I am supremely impressed. I was using a Corsair MM350, and that was absolute trash compared to this. I'm going to grab another Strider to have as a backup, because I love this thing. Way more than I was expecting to. The stitching is quite nice, build quality looks like it will hold up, and I've read folks have had theirs for years with no slow spots from wear. All in all, the only downside is the price, but I am willing to pay it again so I can have another one for a rainy day. Zero regrets.
