Customer Ratings & Reviews

Mouse glides without effort. Great for competitive and casual gameplay. Large enough for a 72x25 butcher block.

Big and smooth. I was looking for a mouse pad that would allow my attack shark mouse to move freely with little resistance. This is the one, happy with the purchase

Amazing product great quality as are all products steel series produces!

I’ve been playing PUBG and Marvel Rivals with the SteelSeries QCK Performance "Control" mousepad, and I’m thoroughly impressed. Enough so, that I won’t be going back to the standard gaming mousepads. It has now become a key part of my gaming setup. I enjoy the high-stakes intensity of battle royales and the fast-paced action of hero shooters, and this pad has noticeably improved my performance. The surface is excellent feeling slightly textured and grippy, a clear step up from the slick pads I have now moved on from. It offers just enough resistance to ensure precise control without feeling rough. In PUBG, it steadies my aim, keeping my cursor locked on during firefights or long-range snipes. For Marvel Rivals’ rapid team battles, it allows quick, accurate flicks to targets, making critical shots feel smooth and reliable in both games. I am partial to the XL size (900 x 400 mm), which suits my low-sensitivity setup perfectly. It provides ample space for broad arm movements in PUBG’s tense final circles or Marvel Rivals’ hectic fights, with room left for my coffee or notepad. The 3.5 mm thick base is comfortable, supporting my wrist through extended sessions. The neoprene bottom grips my desk firmly, staying put no matter how intense the action gets. The low-profile stitched edge adds durability, designed to resist fraying for long-term use. But, let’s be honest, it’s not perfect. The textured surface seems like it could attract dust and lint over time. I haven’t noticed much buildup yet, but I suspect it might require regular cleaning with a lint roller or damp cloth to stay pristine, especially if your desk attracts dust. It’s not a concern now, but I’m assuming it could become tedious if maintenance isn’t kept up. Also, if you prefer ultra-slick, speed-focused mousepads for fast-paced chaos, this one might feel too controlled. It’s all about precision, which I’m really appreciating, but if you prioritize glide, you might look elsewhere for example you might consider their XL “speed” or “balance” mousepad. Plus, the grippy texture can take some getting used to. Coming from smoother pads, my aim felt sluggish at first, like moving through thick syrup, until I adjusted. If dust does accumulate, it could make the surface feel uneven, which would be frustrating in critical moments when you need smooth cursor movement. I believe this is quality gear that’s sharpened my aim in PUBG and Marvel Rivals. Shots feel more controlled, like the pad’s aligned with my movements. SteelSeries designed it for precision-focused gamers, and it delivers, elevating my gameplay. If you play games where accuracy is crucial and want a reliable, durable pad, this is a solid pick. Just be prepared to clean it occasionally to keep it in top shape.

I try not to gush about any product, but this one deserves as much as a mousepad can warrant. I, like many people, have tried and dismissed a lot of mouse pads since mouse pads became a thing. I’ve tried hard surfaces and fabrics, some cheap, some rather costly, desk mats and mouse pads… IMHO, this one is the best, bar none. I am moving from a Roccat Sense CTRL pad, which has been my favorite so far, with a super-fast Cordura style fabric finish, it disappears when I’m playing, but it is super slick and offers no resistance. The Qck Speed pad is packaged with a large cardboard tube and a protective sheet, so the mousepad comes out of the box pristine with no lumps or bent corners, perfect. It does have a strong rubber/chemical smell for the first couple of days, but it has mostly faded in my short time so far. The surface is not as fast as my prior pad, but close. What makes this pad’s mousing surface so special is they’ve managed to keep it fast, while still having a little resistance to help you control your movements when the game starts moving. I enjoyed the Cordura style surface a lot, but it irritated my ring and pinky fingers which sit on the side of my G502X MFE with my lazy mousing technique. With PTFE mouse skates this guy scoots with ease across the surface, and I’ve noticed I don’t feel anything on my two outside fingers anymore. The Qck Speed pad offers much finer control than the shiny Roccat pad I was using. I didn’t know how ridiculously precise my mouse sensor was until I put it on this pad. I will not say my K/D has changed yet, but as I acclimatize to this new one, I’m looking forward to more head shots once my brain gets used to better surface. With all of the precision and speed I’m used to, with added comfort, control, and looks, this pad can’t be beat. 100% recommended!

And now I can’t go back! This covers quite a bit of the surface of my desk, and it does genuinely seem to control my premium branded gaming mouse better than the generic discount store mousepad. Who woulda thought? It’s got a nice texture and is quite thick. It’s been used for several hours of Baldurs Gate III with no issues whatsoever. Because of its size, I’m not constantly picking up and repositioning my mouse. I’ve yet to “run out of pad”. Composition seems to be a very durable material, so it doesn’t look like it will come undone quickly like the afore-mentioned discount mouse pad. Because of its size, my keyboard is also on the mousepad and it provides enough traction that the keyboard doesn’t slip either. Overall I’m rather impressed by this product. I can definitely see how this could improve performance in competitive gaming. Pretty sure this would be a benefit for productivity as well. A true top quality product typical of Steel Series products. Comes packaged on a nice cardboard roll so it’s not going to have a kink in it. Definitely grab it!

This is a fantastic mousepad that has more uses than just for computer gaming. I had a few ways in which I wanted to use this pad and it met all of my expectations. Construction of the mousepad is very nice with a neoprene under layer for non-slip use and quality stitched edges all the way around. The top surface is dense and doesn't snag or cause mouse sticking or skipping. I will say that out of the box, it had a pretty strong neoprene rubber smell but that went away after letting it sit out for about a day. Along with this, there was one edge that was all curled from packaging but it did eventually flatten out. This is a very large mousepad at almost 3 feet in length and almost 16 inches wide (35.43"Lx15.75"Wx0.14"H to be exact). It was almost too large for my work space but functioned just as expected. There is no lag in my mouse optics and offers a good glide. I'm not a professional gamer by any means, but for casual gaming, this control series of the pad is perfect. Where this size and surface type are also really great is TCG Gaming. I can now use this for more than just computer usage as it can easily fit all my cards while playing. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great mousepad that has great construction and can offer itself to multiple uses.

SteelSeries QcK has consistently been one of the highest-rated and most highly praised mouse pad brands. QcK doesn't get enough attention because of some of the more boutique mouse pad brands that have hit the scene in recent years, so let's talk about what makes this pad great. The size is perfect. Anyone who does a reasonable amount of gaming and has a full sized keyboard (I use a unique 96% layout, personally) will have space for their mouse movements, and probably a bit of extra space to set down a wallet or set of keys. I have always preferred XL mouse pads because it's the sweet spot for lots of coverage and a sleek look, without taking over every single square inch of your desk. The material is... Hard to describe, but I'll do my best to explain. It's got a certain grit and drag to the naked hand. I think this would surprise your average mouse pad shopper - they would say "There's no way this is the 'speed' version", but it's because the material isn't made for your hands to glide across - it's made for the skates of your gaming mouse to glide across. It's an important difference and distinction, so hold tight while I explain why, and then you can demo the mouse pad at Best Buy. Your hands will feel a resistance and drag on this mouse pad, compared to a $15 mouse pad from an online retailer. SteelSeries has been clear about this - the mouse pad is made for performance, for the mouse, not necessarily the hand using the pad. So, in my competitive gaming sessions (I am not very good), I've had to adjust my flicks and the amount of force I apply to my mouse. It's a two-fold change - less drag on the mouse, and greater drag on my hand. I'm fine with the change, overall, it's just a feeling that I am still adjusting to. I am not unhappy with the feel of the mouse pad on my hands, it's just a change. The QcK Performance - Speed mouse pad completely delivers on its promise to give you speed without drag on your high quality gaming mouse. Ensure that your gaming mouse has a large amount of fresh, clean skate, and it will fly on this mouse pad. There is no lack of control on this mouse pad, just remember that the mouse pad itself is not helping you with fine movements by creating friction - without friction, your small movements will be larger and more dramatic than you may intend. This is where the balance between skate friction and hand friction on the mouse pad begin to shape your experience, and I think everyone will feel somewhat differently about whether having extra drag on your hand is a good or bad thing. My final word about this - or final caveat about this mouse pad - is that it takes a long time to fully unfold. If you have the time and ability, when you receive and unbox your mouse pad, put something heavy on top of it, or sandwich it between two heavy items, so that it lays completely flat. All mouse pads have a "resting" period where they begin to flatten, so even if it's taking a while, it's best to be patient. It does not affect the functionality of this mouse pad, but I do want everyone to be aware that it may take 5+ days to fully flatten otherwise. I recommend the mouse pad, and as with all items like this, there's a lot of personal preference involved. I encourage everyone to visit Best Buy and test out the QcK Performance - Speed to see if you enjoy the combined mouse/hand feel.

The new QcK Performance series mousepads from Steelseries are definitely a step in the right direction in terms of the type of quality you get. Being easily available at Best Buy is also a huge plus - I tested the | Speed variant. Glide feel: You should immediately notice how there’s a lot less friction when moving your mouse around giving it that “speed” feel. I did feel a good bit of the texture as well BUT this will HEAVILY depend on what skates you have on your mouse. I have a lot of different gaming mice + skate combos so I figured I’d share what the experience is like. With most stock PTFE skates you pick up a lot of the pads texture which I personally don’t like as it gives it that rough feel. Swapping into anything higher quality like (Corepads, Tiger Ice, Talongames etc) made a huge difference as it smoothed everything out but still kept the same glide in terms of speed. What I recommend pairing this pad with the most is actually glass skates! I tried generic glass skates all the way to superglides and the experience was top tier! You could also go with dots which definitely have a more effortless feel on this particular pad. In terms of the base of the pad it sticks very well onto your desk! That’s honestly most important and I found Steelseries pads of old and new to actually deliver in this aspect every time. I also like how the pad is stitched around the edges and the way it tapers off. In-game I immediately felt comfortable using this pad (my eDPI is 904) and I mainly play FPS games like CS2. My skill ceiling was higher since the mouse provided more speed hence being able to flick/clear angles faster. In a nutshell this mousepad will magnify how you’re playing at the moment whether it’s good or bad. Overall I can highly recommend the QcK Performance! Having an XL option is also really nice if you want a cleaner desk setup that fits your keyboard and other accessories. I would just be very aware of what type of skates you use or are planning to use with this pad.

This mousepad offers a smooth, responsive surface ideal for precise cursor control. Its non-slip rubber base keeps it firmly in place during use. The stitching feels durable, and the material is comfortable for extended sessions. A great balance of function and comfort. Perfect for work, gaming, or everyday computer use.

Great size and so far seems to work well. the edging seems like it will last much longer having the braided edge.

Fast mouse speed, sturdy construction, quality packaging

This mat is beyond great. you get well past the normal quality you typically do from a larger company that dosnt just make mouse pads. Its quality is as good as Leathal Gaming Gear, but at a much better price.

Excellent mousepad. Very smooth and fast. Well made.

Sleek smooth and simple, its large and wide fits my desk perfectly!

Great mousepad for both competitive titles and everyday gaming. Previously had the Zowie gsrii but needed something more slick but still have enough control. I wish Best Buy sold the smaller Large version but for $10 more you basically get two of them (flip the pad horizontally when you don’t want to or can’t atm clean the pad :p)

Perfect consistency mousepad, glides with enough resistance to feel just right.

I like the mousepad a lot it is super fast. It feels smooth and you do need to get used to the speed it gives you. Lower sens for a bit if you have to.

Great size. I have mine placed under my keyboard and still have plenty of room for my mouse and some. Love the feel as well!

Overall a great mousepad , I usually take up a big amount of space for my arm , glides both my arm and the mouse good , plus it’s clean and sleek feeling
