In the current market there are many sizes and types of gaming mats , but when you are looking for a size mat known as extended, it is because you want to cover most – or all – of your desk. If this is your case, then we are going to list the best gaming extended mats on the market, and you will see that you have plenty to choose from.
The peculiarity of the gaming extended mats is that they are very, very wide, since they are designed not only to be able to slide the mouse comfortably on its surface, but also to put the keyboard on it and thus not only have a support for prevent the mat from moving more than you should, but to have a soft and comfortable area on which to rest your wrists , something especially appreciated if your keyboard does not have a wrist rest.
Corsair MM300 Extended
This mat is made of micro textured fabric suitable for any type of mouse; It is considered neither control nor speed because it is a kind of mixture of both types, so it is a mat for literally any type of mouse. It has dimensions of 930 x 300 x 3 mm and has sewn edges, so it is thick enough to have a good padding and make it more comfortable. In addition, to highlight that it is one of the few that is 30 mm high, so it is suitable for tables with not too much depth.
Corsair MM200 Extended
This model is the previous version of the MM300, with a more sober and minimalist design and in fact with the same dimensions (930 x 300 x 3 mm), but with the difference that in this case the edges are not sewn, and the The texture of the fabric with which it is made is more of a speed type, since it encourages a very fast sliding of the mouse to be able to move it effortlessly on its surface.
Razer Goliathus Speed / Control / Chroma
For the Razer brand, we include three models in the same place, since they are the same model (Goliathus) but in three different variants: control surface, speed surface and Chroma, with a tube of RGB LEDs around the perimeter of the mat to provide to the desk a touch of lighting.
In this case the mats have dimensions of 920 x 294 x 3 mm, quite similar to those of Corsair, and in the cases of Speed and Control they have sewn edges (in the Chroma also but with the LED bar) Of course, all of them have a non-slip rubber base to prevent the mat from moving out of place, somewhat aggravated by the weight of the keyboard, since they are designed so that it is on top.
Mars Gaming MMP2
Despite the reputation of low quality that this manufacturer has, the MMP2 is an excellent gaming extended mat and of a great quality (we have had one for more than 4 years and it continues as the first day). It has dimensions of 880 x 330 x 3 mm and comes with stitched edges. The design may not be liked by everyone, but this is the best extended model of the brand in terms of quality and by far.
SteelSeries QcK XXL
How could it be otherwise, SteelSeries also has an extended format version of its award-winning QcK mat. In this case it has dimensions of 900 x 400 40 mm, so it is a little thicker than the previous ones, and although in this case it does not have the stitched edges, it is also one of the cheapest.
HyperX Fury S Pro
We finished with the HyperX Fury S Pro, an extended mat with dimensions of 900 x 420 x 3 mm and a very gaming-style design. It has sewn edges and the bottom is made of non-slip rubber so that it does not move from its place during use. In this case, the surface is Corsair MM300-style micro-textured fabric, with a texture that’s a compromise between Control and Speed.
