Usually, the surface of PC mats is micro-textured fabric, a technique that makes it easy to use with any type of mouse sensor but whose wear resistance is not that much. The cordura, por su parte, is an entramado de nailon (poliamida) sintético that keeps the peculiaridad de ser muy resistente al desgaste, rasgado y abrasión, motivo por el que se utiliza como ya hemos mencionado en ropa de motociclismo o en trajes de ski , among others.

The Newskill Themis Pro series (in its two variants and four models as we will tell you below) is distinguished by its manufacture with reason of origin on its surface; As we have already told you, this material is extremely durable, but it is also incredibly slippery and is therefore ideal for functioning as a mouse pad surface, as the mouse will glide without generating virtually any noise. friction. Also, the reason is also raincoat So even if you have an accident and liquid is spilled on the carpet, it will not “seep” inside and you will not have to worry about anything other than removing the liquid with it. a cloth.
Of course, the sliding reason is on the upper part, the one that “wears out” with use with the mouse, but the lower area is made of non-slip natural rubber, on the contrary because what we want is that the mouse pad does. do not move from your site during use. Additionally, the Themis Pro model has stitched edges for added durability, while the Themis Pro RGB model has, as you might already expect, an RGB LED strip around its perimeter.
As we told you at the beginning, we are faced with two variations of these mats (the Themis Pro model and the Themis Pro RGB), but there are also four models in total since each of these variations has the large size (L) and the extra large (XL), whose dimensions are quite oversized and therefore ideal for gamers who use low resolution on their mouse sensor: the L model measures 460 x 400 x 4 mm, while the XL model is actually in “Extended”, since it is just as thick and high but its width extends up to 960 mm.
A special thing about these mats is that they are 4mm thick, something quite large in this playmat world, and that means the player will have extra padding to support the wrist and be able to play comfortably for long periods of time. hours and hours without getting tired. (Although not critical, having a soft surface under the wrist also helps prevent carpal tunnel syndrome).
Finally, it should be noted that, of course, the Newskill Themis Pro RGB model has a connection to the PC to be able to display its illuminated perimeter. This lighting is achieved using a huge strip of RGB LEDs that covers the entire perimeter of the carpet, and from which comes a cable with a USB-C connector at the top left that will allow us to use its software to control to be able to modify its colors and their effects.
Of course, we have a choice of 16.8 million colors in the RGB spectrum, but we can also change both the intensity of the lighting and the speed of the effects, because as you will assume there are different too. factory preconfigured effects to choose from, like rainbows, breath or fixed color, although there is of course also the custom mode to be able to put the colors exactly the way we like it the most.
