Usual mousepad conversation comes down to a single choice: speed or control. A speed pad let the mouse slide fast across the surface. A control pad added friction so the cursor stopped where you wanted it. That distinction still exists in product catalogs, but it’s no longer where the interesting differences live. What to look for in a mouse pad today comes down to size, fibre type, thickness, edge construction, base compound, and how a pad holds up after six months of daily use. This gaming mousepad buying guide walks through each of those choices and shows where the current LORGAR lineup<\/a> fits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Size<\/b><\/h2>\n

Size is the decision that matters first. A pad that’s too small forces you to lift the mouse repeatedly during a game, which breaks aim and tires out the wrist. A pad that’s too large eats the desk space you wanted for other things. Picking the right size is mostly a function of two things: your in-game DPI and how much arm movement your aim relies on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Low DPI players (400 to 800) move the mouse across long distances to turn the camera. That means more pad surface. High DPI players (1600+) turn with small flicks and need less room. Arm aimers, who lock the wrist and move from the elbow or shoulder, need more space than wrist aimers regardless of DPI.<\/span><\/p>\n

The standard sizes are medium (around 360\u00d7300 mm), large (around 450 to 500 mm wide) and extra-large or even XXL (from 800\u00d7300 to 900\u00d7400 mm).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Anything smaller than medium is usually reserved for laptop users on-the-go. Medium suits high-DPI players and tight desks. Large is the general-purpose answer for most players. Extra-large covers the area under the keyboard as well. This helps with keyboard sound a lot plus creates a unified setup feel for the whole desk. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

LORGAR’s lineup covers medium, large, and extra-large sizes. The Main 313, Steller 913, and Legacer 753 sit at the medium size (360\u00d7300\u00d73 mm). The Main 315, Main 325, Main 135, and Legacer 755 are large (500\u00d7420\u00d73 mm). The Main 139, Steller 919, and MPA14XL are extra-large, with the Main 139 and Steller 919 both measuring 900\u00d7360 mm and the MPA14XL at 900\u00d7400 mm. If you don’t know which to pick, large is the safe default for general gaming.<\/p>\n
