Razer Announces Dual-sided Vespula Mousepad
Razer, the company that loves to make all sorts of funky gaming mice for those obsessive about mousing in PC gamers, this week unveiled the Vespula. The selling feature for this mousepad is a dual-sided surface offering gamers a choice between smooth and crunchy, just like for peanut butter.
"The Razer Vespula was designed with gamers in mind that need a single solution for every game they play. Different genres call for different gameplays. The advanced technology in the improved dual-sided mouse mat gives gamers the choice of a smooth Speed Surface or a textured Control Surface, which delivers just that flexibility," said Robert Krakoff, president, Razer USA. "The Control Surface is great for gamers that use small, precise movements, while the Speed Surface is an ideal match for gamers that prefer large, sweeping motions."
The Vespula also comes with a gel-filled memory conformance rest for tired wrists. The premium mousepad is priced at $34.99 in the U.S. and €34.99 in the EU.
We're a fan of dual-sided mousepads, which first caught our attention from fUnc's Surface 1030 mousepads.

I think I would rather pay $35 than €35.....
I've had a dual-sided Rocketfish mouse pad for quite a while now and I like it a lot.
A lot cooler looking than the eXactMat which cost about the same price.

I was thinking the opposite, the eXactMat looks better IMO. I was about to buy one, actually, but now that this is here I will buy the one that gets the best review of the two.
Ive had the eXactMat for about a year and have been very pleased with it. I like this one too, though.

Hah, poor europeans
I've had a dual-sided Rocketfish mouse pad for quite a while now and I like it a lot.
Me too, had it about 3 years and it's great. Razor is a bit late to the game on this one.
I've been using a foam with fabric top pad for 10 years now... it's nailed to my desk. It's not going anywere anytime soon.
$35 is pretty expensive for a mousepad but I don't think they are completely ripping you off for all that they are giving you. Razer = XFX in terms of quality as seen in the products and packaging.
Wish they'd sell JUST the wristrest, since I need one with my eXcatmat..
I pefer the macpadd for all my high quality mouse pad needs.
prefer that is...
ha! this mouse pad has nothing on the MacPadd. just wait until toms gets theirs in the mail......oh wait.
Seriously though, I would think you would need to clean the pad off every time you switch sides... I live in a dorm and my desk does not stay clean all of the time. I love the concept though.
Jesus, more overpriced crap from Razer. Who the frig buys this shit anyway?
Oh, that's right...suckers.

What ever happened in the end of Tuan's MacPadd story? Did did it all resolve?
razer looks cool, but i wonder whether their driver support for Win7 for this mousepad is up to date...

Funny, this guy.
I've got one that's a thin sheet, sticky on the bottom side. It's got a photo of a kitten on it.
My desk is small so I don't want anything large and clunky.

Same here, I use a 6"x9" cloth mousepad that's just plain gray on the top. It is already sufficient enough for me.
good job razer.
Personally, I like my extra large WOW mouspad.
i've never seen the point of dual-sided mousepads, since i would only ever use the smooth side. I mean, who really WANTS friction in a mouse pad? Especially one focused more towards gaming.
I'd rather it just have the smooth side with LEDs on the other side that light up a thin acrylic edge around the mousepad... oh wait, that's what i have now and it only cost $20 when i got it 4 years ago. flexiglow ftw, it's outlasted a lot of my friends gaming mousepads. Either it must be better quality or they had really dirty palms.
Me too, had it about 3 years and it's great. Razor is a bit late to the game on this one.
Razer had the dual-sided eXactmat before this new Vespula...so they have been in the game for 3 years now as that is how long I've had mine ;-)
$50 in the EU? Mega ouch.
Wow! Mouse users make me laugh. Precision, speed, just flip the mouse pad. LOL. I use a trackball, Logitech Mouseman marble for everything and at all times it is fast and precise with no flipping. Primarily a FPS gamer, and my 20 dollar trackball has, over the years, led me to victory over far more costly equipment. My competitors think I'm lying when I tell what input I use. I started with mice like the rest of you, but was introduced to a trackball in Drafting, and have never gone back. Mousing is very inefficient, lost of wasted movements, wasted movement equates to lost time, I can do with one fingertip what it takes half a hand to do on a mouse.
Viva Trackballs! We don't need no stinking mousepad, Vamanos!
Wait...I thought a Vespula is what you use to scrape scooters off the highway after an accident. I may be wrong, though.
What the hell? why wont they include the valuta? 35$ is 25,11€!!!

It's like the whole keyboards vs gaming pad ordeal. If it works for you, then it works for you.
