XTracPads have always been great cloth mouse pad manufacturers with their Pro Pad and Ripper XXL but have recently ventured into a new market with their plastic adhesive Logic series and excelled at doing so. This time we look at one of their older products, the Fat Mat which promises to combine thickness with the same high performance that we are used to seeing from XTracPads. Enough said, let’s take a closer look.
