Is this Mouse pad best for gaming?
Compared to a standard mouse pad that just acts as a thin base, XPG Battleground XL Prime is different. The challenge is to set this on a small table. Not every gamer has wide desk space, like me who sits on a standard desk with a platform enough to keep the keyboard and mouse side by side. With some adjustment, I was able to fit XPG Battleground XL Prime with my build. Due to its large size keyboard and mouse both sit well on it. And if your desk space is low, it will hang on the edges.
What matters now is how this mouse pad can improve gaming? Was it worth enough to buy this pricy mouse pad? I will share my views on the basis of pro-level gaming. A gamer who spends hours playing popular games like Fortnite, COD Warzone, Apex Legends, or any other battle royale game. You will definitely need a mouse pad if you a much into gaming. XPG Battleground XL Prime acts as a perfect base to regulate your mouse movement. If you have this, there will be a lesser response time compared to a standard mouse pad.

The challenge is to get a nice amount of space to get the max out of Battleground XL Prime. Placing on the different desks has considerably impacted the way a gaming mouse responds.
I have been struggling with my mouse DPS button many times on the standard mouse pad. It was sometimes too fast, sometimes too slow. But on XPG Battleground XL Prime you can catch a standard speed and play your game without messing with the sensitivity. With this, it also covers my keyboard base which is not really useful but it looks nice due to the LED movement.
Verdict:
XPG Battleground XL Prime is outsized and dazzling. If you ready to shed extra cash then do not go with a standard gaming mouse pad, if there’s one with LED. Every gaming mouse pad focus on offering the right amount of friction, this boosts the mouse DPI and allows a gamer to have max control over his/her movement on the screen.
