Razer wasn't short of new products at this month's CES, and though the company is now looking beyond the mouse in terms of gaming peripherals, it's still showing plenty of love for our pointing devices with the launch of a new, dual-sided mouse mat.
It's dubbed the Vespula, and it promises to be a "lightweight, gaming-grade mouse mat" that offers "the best of both worlds".
How exactly can a mouse mat fulfil two purposes? Well, on the one side, Vespula offers a smooth "Speed Surface" that Razer claims is designed to pick up large, sweeping motions and suits fast-paced action games.
Flip it over, and you're treated to a coarsely-textured "Control Surface", which we're told is favourable for small, ultra-precise movements. Sounds like you'd need the Speed Surface to track down your foe, and the Control Surface to pin point that all-important headshot, though, we don't think mid-game flipping is what's intended here.
Measuring 300mm x 240mm x 4 mm, it's an awesome-looking surface - finished in a matte, anti-reflective, non-slip hard coat and bundled with a gel-filled wrist rest.
Not quite as roomy as Razer's over-sized Goliathus, but if dual surfaces are the answer to your mouse-mat prayers, Razer's Vespula is available now priced at $34.99 / €34.99.
