The Cooler Master MP860 is a mousepad with a twist-- as the first product in the Cooler Master M800 series, it is a dual-surface mousepad complete with RGB lighting.
The lighting comes through x19 LEDs embedded in the border of the mousepad. The company says the LEDs are capable of smooth animations and glitch-free transitions, and included Cooler Master software allows customers to choose from a set of presets (such as static, breathing, colour cycle, wave, stars, marquee) for customisation. The software also syncs lighting with other Cooler Master peripherals.
Of course such lighting demands power, meaning users need to connect the MP860 to a PC via USB port and included 1.2m cable. As for the dual-surface nature of the mousepad, customers get a low-friction cloth on one side and anodised aluminium on the other. Cooler Master says the cloth surface is optimised for speed, while the aluminium surface allows for more precision and control.
The MP860 measures 360 x 260mm, and is 6 to 10mm (front to rear) thick for a slight incline towards the back. It ships from October 2018.
