Pros and Cons

PROS

  • Good built quality
  • Stitching is of good quality
  • Amazing grip on any surface
  • Great RGB effects
  • Speed type gaming mouse pad
  • Water repellent mouse pad is a nice addition
  • Can keep keyboard, mouse & phones

CONS:

Built Quality (5/5)

Just out of the box, the feel of the mouse pad is very premium. It has good weight to it. The soft fabric, weight, and rubber back really make it a good mouse pad.

The RGB lights are stitched very well with the fabric, and attention to detail was quite visible. Even the threadwork is very nicely done. There’s not a single uneven stitch. Yes, I have checked it thoroughly.

As far as the connector goes, it is well stitched and glued to the mousepad. The Micro USB port is good quality too. It makes a firm connection and does not disconnect when you move it a little to clean the surface underneath.

Hence for build quality, I would give it 5/5.

Size & Dimensions (5/5)

RGB mousepads come in different sizes and thicknesses depending on the price. Usually under 1000 Rs, brands offer 800*400mm length and width.

With the ANT ESPORTS MP400R, the length is 800mm, and the width is 400mm. The thickness is 3mm. Which is really good. Not every brand offers such thickness; as a result, the grip of this mouse pad is impressive.

This made me take out the RedGear MP40 from the store, which had a 3 mm thickness. ANT ESPORTS has a similar thickness.

As for the size, in practicality, you can easily keep a full-size keyboard, mouse, smartphone, headphones, and still have some space left.

So, size-wise, the ANT ESPORTS RGB mousepad is really worth the price. Hence, 5/5 for that.

If you are wondering about looks, then be assured it will surely take your desk to the next level. It adds decent RGB to the table.

There are 14 lighting modes, including 6 static colors like Red, Blue, Green, Purple, Light Blue/White, and Neon.

Also, you will get lightning effects like Blink, Breathing, and so much more, and tons of color combinations between those. Also, there’s one where there’s no RGB on!

You can pick and choose your favorite and go with it; be ready to spend a good time typing on the modes.

Let’s say you found one, and whenever the mouse pad powers on, it will circle through the boot sequence and automatically move to your default mode.

As far as the brightness goes, the RGB lights are moderate, not so bright that they will blind your eyes or dim under studio lights!

It’s fine, and I don’t have any complaints. Other than the red color being slightly dim.

The RGB is not just for looks; it adds a little more ambient light, and it just takes the experience to the next level.

Hence for RGB and looks, ANT ESPORTS MP400R gets a 4.5/5.

RGB Gaming Mousepad vs General Mousepads

There are many types of mousepad available in India. First are the Non RGB one. Then the speed type with RGB. And third are the laterite mousepads.

RGB and non RGB are quite similar and are made for gamers in mind. However the laterite are different and more centric to aesthetics.

The ones intended towards gaming are thicker and offer better grip.

Second, the texture on top is speed type making it easy to pan around in any game or day to day task. The laterite ones

Cleaning a regular mousepad is very easy as there’s no circuit or lighting. You can dip it in water or be a little carefree. Whereas, RGB mousepads need to be wiped with a damn micro fibre cloth and then with a dry cloth.

And avoid putting it into a bucket or pour any liquid soup as it can damage not only the circuit board but also the fabric.

RGB mousepads are more eye candy and sets a tone or a work station or a gaming setup. If paired with an RGB mouse and keyboard.

ANT ESPORTS MP400R User Experience

After spending 2 months with this RGB gaming mouse pad, here are a few things.

The stitching is not rough enough to cause any discomfort. Though it looks a little sharp in images. This is coming from someone who spends more than 8 hours daily for a month. There will be no marks or lines on your wrist.

The surface is a speed type, which means the mouse will glide on the mouse pad; hence, panning in any direction will be very quick. You would need to lower the DPI of your gaming mouse! And secondly, do not need to pick up your mouse while playing or even working.

Also, the surface has water resistance; hence, you can wipe it or drink from it if spilled, and it will be good to go. A single wipe with a microfibre cloth is enough to keep it clean. All the images here are after 2 months of use.

The bottom of the mouse pad is textured rubber, which makes the grip quite sturdy on any surface, be it a plywood table, glass, or even wood [test on all the mentioned].

Their branding on the mousepad is not a sticker stuck on top; hence, it will not fade easily. May and June are quite hot and humid, but still, there is no fading observed.

ANT ESPORTS MP400R Review – How To Clean?

Cleaning the regular mouse pad and an RGB one are very different, and the latter needs extra care as the RGB controller is not waterproof, unlike the mouse pad.

You would need two microfibre cloths: one will be a little damp, and the other will be dry. First, use the dry cloth to move the dirt particles away from the mouse pad onto the table.

Before using the damp cloth, unpug the mouse pad and then wipe it up. You can apply a little force; it will not damage it.

Once you are satisfied, wipe again with the dry cloth, as it will take away the moisture or water droplets, if any are left. Now, it’s time to plug the mousepad back in.

Avoid washing it in a bucket or sink, as you will definitely damage the surface of the mousepad or the RGB lights.
