Razer Claims New Scarab Mousepad Doesn't Suck

Razer on Thursday introduced its new Scarab mouse mat, the followup act to the Destructor. And you know what? This sequel doesn't suck, according to Razer, which said as much in so many words.
"Most of the time, sequels to great movies suck," Razer explains. "Normally, sequels to great books suck. Sometimes, sequels to great games suck. But what doesn't ever suck are sequels to Razer products. They just keep getting better."
Whether or not the price tag sucks, we'll let you be the judge. The Scarab runs $40, which isn't the most expensive mouse mat Razer offers. That investment buys you a mousepad with a Razer Fractal 2.0 surface coated in light gray providing a "highly responsive and uniform tracking system perfect for optical and laser mice sensors." The Scarab also sports an improved rubber base for greater stability and plenty of room (350mm x 250mm) for your mouse to roam around on.

Hmmm, didn't MaxPc just say in an article that mousepads need to retire?

Still needed if you use an optical mouse with a reflective surface, such as glass or marble (I have a marble desk at work). Most laser mice do not track well enough on reflective surfaces either and even the highest end laser mice will not work on all surfaces either.

yes they did! they said something along the lines of mouse pads aren't needed anymore before laser/optical mice can track on surfaces other than the cloth of mouse pads. either way, i won't be buying one of these considering i hate mouse pads =/
