XSReviews test ROCCAT Sota Granular Black/Blue Gaming Mousepad
Shepy at XSReviews has tested the Roccat Sota Granular mousepad
A solid performance from this mat, way better than I had expected as I’m not usually a fan of the hard topped surfaces. I’m still unsure of the need to be hard topped and flexible, but putting that aside I really can’t fault it other than its metallic blue colour and that’s just a personal preference! I even tried peeling apart the layers in one corner to get a feel for how durable it would be and they are stuck together really well. The Roccat has impressed me so much that this has now replaced my existing mat and will be my normal day to day pad of choice.

Gold for Roccat Sota
David Mitchelson (Mishima) of Vortez Hardware has tested the Roccat Sota gaming mouse mat :
ROCCAT have brought an innovative new product to the table in the Sota. Visually it has a minimalist design, is very pleasing to the eye and will look great next to your other hardware on the desk.
The top side provides an exception surface to keep you on top of your game, whilst the base will remain firmly in place thanks to the substantial rubberized material. It’s remarkable that such a thin pad (3mm) can unite both hard and soft in such a small amount of space. It works well.

ROCCAT Sota Granular Gaming Mousepad official press release
Ok so you’ve had enough of us waxing lyrical about the new ROCCAT™ Sota Granular Gaming Mousepad saying how absolutely brilliant, excellent, immense etc. it is, but you want to know the details of the product so here’s the official press release from Roccat.
ROCCAT presented the first product from its Smart Desktop Management System (SDMS) last July in the form of the ROCCAT Apuri USB-Hub with Mouse Bungee. With the ROCCAT Sota Granular Mousepad, there now follows a compact mousepad which unites the properties of both a hard and a soft pad in one mousepad. The granular surface makes the mouse appear weightless and the soft backing provides comfort and grip. A metal film is integrated between these two layers which makes the new ROCCAT mousepad the perfect pad for both optical and laser mice thanks to its high level of reflectivity. At the same time, the metal film helps give the ROCCAT Sota a characteristic metallic shimmer.
