Don’t get it twisted - I heart SteelSeries like crazy especially when it comes to all things technology-based. How about leveling up my mousepad lifestyle with a fire QcK launch? Say less.

SteelSeries’ QcK mousepads are here for the takeover

Whether you’re just a quick type or look for balance in your mouse movements - SteelSeries has you fully covered. Three options? Let’s get it.

SteelSeries, the original esports brand that fuses gaming and culture, today unveiled the latest evolution of its critically acclaimed QcK mousepad line, the QcK Performance Series. The new series is the first set of mousepads to specifically cater to diverse gamer playstyles with three distinct mousepad surfaces: Speed, Control, and Balance, available in Large and Extra-Large sizes.

From actuation points in keyboards to mouse side buttons to personalized audio profiles in headsets, players want and need precision, personalization, and customization in their gaming gear. But the lonely mousepad has all but been forgotten or neglected when it comes to pure performance and playstyle for over 20 years. Essentially, there has been a barrier that SteelSeries is set to remove… Enter the QcK Performance Series mousepads. 

For over 20 years, SteelSeries has been the worldwide leader in mousepads for esports pros and gamers – from the ICEMAT in 2001 to the OG QcK in 2004. Since its introduction in 2004, the award-winning QcK line of mousepads has been celebrated globally, becoming a staple for gamers and professional esports players. In fact, Pros have won more prize money with SteelSeries than with any other brand.
