Reviews and awards for SteelSeries 4D:
English review by GameSurge
"I definitely prefer this pad to the other major plastic competitors, especially in regards to the overall smoothness and sliding ability. The surface feels like it's also more likely to last a reasonable amount of time without wearing down. In conclusion, the Steelpad 4D is great for general usage and graphics programs. It is also perfect for gamers who are on the lookout for the best possible performance with a budget in mind. The inclusion of 2 separate surfaces caters for different types of mice, as well as different personal preferences for a choice between desired friction and smoothness."
