Gear Review: Razer Goliathus Alpha Mouse Pad (Video)
Posted on December 01, 2011 by OG

Rarely do people give thought to their mouse pad.  Unless you have wrist problems, your mouse pad is more than likely one that you got for free. Whether it was a promotional giveaway or came with your PC, you probably didn’t pay more than ten dollars for it, if even that much.   You can’t blame someone for ignoring their mouse pad because it’s not very often that you need to pay attention to it.   People using a computer rarely pay attention to their hands while surfing the net or playing games anyways.  However, for the core PC gamers out there, Razer has made a mouse pad just for you.  The Goliathus Alpha is Razer’s take on the mouse pad.  For this review, we’re looking at the large model that was provided by Razer.
