Gaming mouse pads are available in countless sizes, each with its own particular set of advantages for your gaming experience. XXL mousepads, in particular, offer a huge surface area for all your lightning-fast movements.
To help you decide if you should level up your set-up with an XXL mouse mat, we’ve put together this guide highlighting all the benefits, along with a selection of our favourite XXL mouse pads.
XXL Mousepad
An XXL mouse pad, or extended gaming surface, will typically completely cover the desk or table that you use with your gaming PC and its peripherals.
The dimensions vary with each different manufacturer and model but often XXL mousepads are twice as wide as they are long. This offers you so much more space compared to a standard-sized mouse mat.
Why You Need an XXL Mousepad
XXL mousepads are suitable for gamers, streamers, and even those working from home.
The huge surface area ensures you will have plenty of space for all your flicks and glides during critical gameplay. This makes them particularly suited for fans of fast-paced FPS titles or those who enjoy playing games with a low DPI setting. For streamers or those working from home, you won’t need to worry about all your gear taking up precious desk space. There is plenty of room for your monitor, keyboard, mouse, stream deck, headset, and even a cup of tea to give you that much-needed boost of energy.
As XXL mouse mats are constructed from only high-quality materials with durable stitched edges and often feature a rubberised base, they will remain firmly in place, no matter how aggressive your gameplay gets. What’s more, an XXL mouse pad offers a layer of protection for your desk or table. You no longer have to worry about any accidental spills or scratches.
