I recently bought a new mat to replace my OcUK XXL mat that was old, covered in paint and starting to split and fray at the front edge by the mouse - the area with the most activity.
Looking around, I saw that Coolermaster Swift-RXs were very similar, but with stitched edges to reduce this problem and they also did a variety of sizes including a 900mm wide one which is perfect to accommodate my keyboard, mouse and drink of choice.
They are available in four different sizes and any colour you want as long as it is black.
Packaging
It arrived in a rectangular box that was a tiny bit crumpled, courtesy of Royal Mail.
The Mat
Taking it out of the box you are greeted with that new smell that only box fresh products have.
Big, black and long.

The reverse has a non-slip coating.
Compatibility
Being from Coolermaster you may be thinking only Coolermaster keyboards and mice will work with this mat, but that is not true and my Ducky Fire 69 and Zowie EC1-A work like a dream on it. From this we can assume any other high quality keyboard-and-mouse combination will equally be at home on this mat.
Another important feature any mat must have is the ability to support drinks of all shapes and sizes, whether hot or cold. Fortunately, this Swift-RX mat is again 100% compatible with everything I have thrown at it.
Cider cans are no problem.
Empty glasses are laughed at.
Mugs that contain hot brews are just too easy for it.
Usage
So, on to gaming and specifically BF4 which I play a lot of. This mat excelled itself in every department, bringing up head-shot after head-shot with the MID sniper rifle and helping to take down helicopters and aeroplanes whilst using the AA.
Summing Up
In conclusion, the Coolermaster Swift-RX mat is a nice mat to use. I do wish this version was a touch deeper than 360mm but, other than that, it's a good product.
