just received some stuff from Razer today when i went to practice.
To my surprise they also sent the Goliathus which i've been waiting for a long time!

so here are some pictures.

Overall thoughts:

This new cloth pad made by Razer doesn't really have any revolutionary technology ...

I would say it's similar to both the Everglide Titans and the Razer Speed (same size same thickness)... kind of feel like a combination of both. But the look is definitely better than the old Razer designs with stupid colors :]

Thanks for posting this, I was actually looking forward to some reviews of Goliathus.

Could you describe the surface/coating in a more specific way? For example, how is it compared to the Everglide Titan and QcK Heavy? Does it have a hybrid coating like the Titan, or is it uncoated cloth?

It looks like uncoated cloth to me, much like the QcK Heavy, tbh!

Out of the 5 replies here, qnoob probably cares the most about this, and even he doesn't care.

Fail.


Breaking development, #6 cares,

but you still fail.

#6 honestly
i think it is just like the Everglide Titans... prob. still uses the "Fibertek technology"

QCK is not as smooth as the Titans or Goliathus

but for some reason the surface looks a bit shiny under lights.....or maybe im just delusional -_-

#5 is jealous

What's with all the Razer stuff in the pictures? In the first ones, there's lots of unopened boxed with the Razer label and later you desktop has the Lycosa, DeathAdder, Goliathus and Armadillo.

Yes, but there might be some minor difference due to the colour~
Depends on the sensor~

I'm definitely interested in this pad. Currently using a Supermat and would like a fresh start w/ no dirt, super consistent surface.

and yes i use Deathadder with the Goliathus ...
i've been using the DA for a long time and i know it skips on certain pads, but it doesn't skip on this pad at all..
i know it happens sometimes on the QCK series...
however, on the Goliathus ...it works perfectly...

i like it a lot actaully =) although i would luv it even more if it's as thick as teh QCK heavy

#18 he didn't say that and certainly didn't come out like he'd think that. It's just you being jealous :-)

On the matter of the Goliathus, I think I'm still gonna stick to the Heavy. The comfort and the smoothness of an uncoated clothpad can't be beaten.

If you get something for free, why not? Nowaydays there aren't "bad things" on the market, so no matter, if it is Razer, Logitech, Speed-Link, Microsoft, whoever... It's free. You can't go that wrong.

x[a]n_tw what do you make of the permeability and hydrophobicity properties of the Goliathus after daily testing in a high protein environment.

Also, do you think I should pursue legal action against Razer for using the name Goliathus which is already a registered trademark of my company--my company being my penis.

wish razer would come out with a good wireless mouse. they try to be at the forefront of technology, but no wireless?? the response wouldn't be 1ms, but theres plenty of solutions that can meet the 125hz on usb.

instead they release this mousepad that is pretty much the same as every other cloth pad out right now :(

Razer's target is hardcore gamers, so wireless mouse is a joke.

And making a wireless gaming mouse is pointless, as was proven by G7 being a huge flop.

When DA came out (or before) they said something about a wireless project, but I can't remember its name.

well, that isn't really designed for gaming (turns off, less than125hz etc). it's true the g7 was a flop, but it's mostly because of the terrible battery life really and the fact that it was too similar to the g5.

wireless mice used to be a joke back when you couldn't send signals fast enough to maintain 125hz, but it's possible now. a huge majority of gamers play with 125hz (microsoft intellimice, logitech mx518 etc) so I don't see how people wouldn't love a consistent 125hz wireless mouse with at least 14 hour battery life.
