X-raypad Aqua Control Plus PORON Gaming Mousepad – Control

X-raypad Aqua Control Plus PORON Gaming Mousepad

A control pad helps you stop your aim, but many are slow to get moving and tiring for tracking. The X-raypad Aqua Control Plus PORON pairs the Aqua Control Plus surface, with a light start and good stopping power, with a Rogers PORON Soft base that responds to the pressure of your hand.

Aqua Control Plus surface

The uncoated Amundsen cloth has the slightly rough texture of the Aqua Control Plus line. Initial friction is low, so the mouse gets moving effortlessly, and resistance builds when you stop. It’s a hybrid control profile that works for flicks and fine adjustments. The edges are stitched and low-profile.

Rogers PORON Soft base

Instead of the usual rubber, the base is Rogers PORON foam, a material that cushions and recovers its shape quickly. At 4 mm and Soft firmness, it gives a little when you press on the mouse: more pressure means more stopping power, less pressure lets it run.

Two sizes

There are two sizes: 490 × 420 mm, for shallower desks, and 500 × 500 mm, square, for low-sensitivity players who also move their arm vertically. If you’re weighing up materials, we explain the differences in glass vs cloth.

GAMER UNLOCKED TEAM’S TAKE

Who it’s for: Tactical FPS players who want a control pad that isn’t slow to get moving, with a soft base that lets you fine-tune stopping power with pressure.

Who it’s not for: Anyone who wants a fast pad, or a firm base that feels the same at any pressure. See the other mousepads if you’re after a Speed profile or a glass pad.

Honest notes: The Amundsen texture is a little rough to the touch, and some people feel it on their wrist for the first few days. The Soft base also changes the feel with how hard you press on the mouse, which takes some getting used to if you’re coming from firm bases.
