The amazing Razer Firefly mouse pad

Do you remember when the computer mouse used to have a rubber ball in it to track movement? It was horrible; they always got full of dirt and dust and needed regular cleaning. They also worked much better with a mouse pad because the ball couldn’t work properly on a desk surface.

These days no one has a rubber ball in their mouse anymore, we have optical and laser mouse devices. In other words most of us don’t actually need a mouse pad, but for those of us who do (mostly gamers) – you may want to check out the coolest mouse pad ever.

Razer recently announced that they are releasing a light-up mouse pad, and it’s called theRazer Firefly. Yes, the old faithful mouse pad is actually being updated with glowing LED lights around its base. The Razer can offer an amazing 16.8 million colour options and they can be customised and set to glow in different patterns. Plus, this glowing mouse pad can sync up with other Chroma enabled Razer devices (mouse, keyboard, headphones)for virtually limitless colour combinations.

Take a look at some of the Razer Firefly’s great features:
- Micro-textured finish for balanced gameplay
- Optimised surface coating for highly responsive tracking
- Chroma customizable lighting
- Non-slip rubber base
- Razer synapse enabled
- Gold-plated, USB connector
- Seven-foot, lightweight, braided fibre cable

Everyone knows that the more flashing LED lights your computer has – the better it works! Lights on your fans, lights on your keyboard, lights on your mouse and now…. Lights on your mouse pad! Yes, this is a hard plastic mouse pad that has LED lights and connects by USB, and it is definitely gimmicky. BUT everyone loves lights, especially computer nerds, and you can’t help but just love this cool mouse pad.

Of course, this is not just a mouse pad for purely decorative purposes; it can seriously help with precise mouse movements, which benefits artists or designers. And unlike floppy rubber mouse pads that you can get for free, it costs quite a bit and you can buy it through Razer’s store.
