Roccat announces Alumic, a double-sided gaming mousepad made from aluminium. The mousepad has a Speed and a Control surface, and ships with a gel wrist rest for increased comfort. The Roccat Alumic will be available in retail stores by the end of the month for around 39.99EUR.
ROCCAT™, the young Hamburg-based manufacturer of gaming peripherals, is
expanding its portfolio of gaming mousepads with an extremely high-quality hardpad featuring an anodized
aluminum core: the ROCCAT™ Alumic. With two very different surface structures, the ROCCAT™ Alumic – Double-
Sided Gaming Mousepad meets the highest demands of both low and high-sense gamers. Each side also features
a different ROCCAT™ design. Made from high-quality aluminum, the ROCCAT™ Alumic offers maximum stability
and durability. Extra-large mousepad feet ensure the mousepad stays rooted to the spot while offering the ultimate
in mouse control when gaming. It also includes a gel-filled wrist rest for maximum comfort.
OPTIMIZED FOR SPEED + CONTROL
The right mousepad is the starting point for outstanding tracking and precise aiming. The ROCCAT™ Alumic’s two
surfaces have different structures, allowing both fast as well as very controlled mouse movements. Low-sense
gamers need a super smooth surface for ultimate gliding performance and fast, sweeping mouse movements. In
contrast, the granular surface is designed to meet the needs of high-sense gamers. The structured surface offers
optimal tracking, particularly when using high mouse resolutions, thereby ensuring the ultimate gaming experience.
ANODIZED ALUMINUM CORE
The anodized aluminum core gives the ROCCAT™ Alumic incredible stability and protection against warping – yet
the mousepad’s just 3mm thin, which in combination with its compact dimensions of 331x272mm, makes it ideal
for using either on the sofa or while on the move. Plus, in addition to the aluminum core, the ultra hardwearing
coatings deliver maximum durability.
NON-SLIP, EXTRA-LARGE MOUSEPAD FEET
The ROCCAT™ Alumic’s extra-large, custom-fit rubber feet ensure this mousepad will stay rooted to any desktop.
Specially designed feet completely envelope each corner of the mousepad, guaranteeing maximum grip.
GEL WRIST REST FOR EXTRA COMFORT
The wrist rest offers comfort and fatigue-free gaming enjoyment – plus it matches the shape of the mousepad
perfectly. What’s more, the flexible gel inner and elastic outer are effective at promoting ergonomic gaming.
