GamesRadar+ Verdict
The SteelSeries QcK Performance collection brings together mouse pads for pretty much every occasion.
They’re available right now via SteelSeries and select retailers.
The surface is considerably coarser than the Speed model, with a rough feel under the arm during use.
It absolutely nails the brief.
SteelSeries QcK Performance: Speed
At the other end of the spectrum we have the Speed pad.
If you’re a particularly fast competitive player this is going to be a massive win.
SteelSeries QcK Performance: Balance
Finally, we have the happy medium.
The actual feel of the pad sits more on the control side than speed.
There’s a less effortless glide here, with more attention paid to stopping power and finer movements.
Being a fan of the QcK Control, this is a lean I’m happy to support.
It’s much more comfortable for everyday work tasks and more game genres overall.
Should you buy a SteelSeries QcK Performance mouse pad?
Of the three, the Control pad is the most refreshing.
