New 1.9mm Razer Atlas Pro sets a new benchmark for thin gaming surfaces

22 April 2026 at 15:30

Razer has officially unveiled the Atlas Pro, a tempered glass gaming mouse mat that claims the title of the world's thinnest in its category. With a thickness of just 1.9mm, including its full-coverage rubber base, the mat is designed to sit nearly flat with the desk surface.

The glass layer of the Atlas Pro measures only 1.1mm, a significant engineering reduction from the 3-5mm range typically seen in the glass mat market. This ultra-low profile is intended to improve long-term ergonomics by minimising the height difference between the desk and the mouse, thereby supporting a more natural wrist posture.

Beyond its physical profile, the Atlas Pro is engineered for precision, with a 2μm etched texture. Developed in partnership with leading sensor manufacturers, this surface treatment ensures consistent, accurate tracking for high-end optical sensors across a range of sensitivities. The mat offers an expanded 500 x 400mm surface area, which provides 11% more space than the original Razer Atlas to accommodate the wide, sweeping movements common in competitive FPS play.

Durability remains a core focus despite the reduced thickness. The mat is constructed from premium tempered glass with a 9H hardness rating on the Mohs hardness scale, making it highly scratch-resistant. The surface is finished with a protective coating for easy cleaning and features CNC-milled rounded edges to prevent wrist irritation. A full-coverage anti-slip rubber base provides a stable foundation and helps dampen the acoustic feedback of mouse swipes.

The Razer Atlas Pro is available immediately with a retail price of £129.99/$129.99/€139.99.

KitGuru says: Will this trend toward ultra-thin hard surfaces eventually make traditional thick cloth pads feel a bit like relics of the past, or will there always be a place for them, given how much cheaper they are?

Razer debuts Viper V4 Pro alongside new and improved Gigantus mouse mats

24 March 2026 at 15:00

Razer expands its competitive gaming line-up this week with two new peripherals, the Viper V4 Pro wireless mouse and the new Gigantus V2 Pro series mouse mats. The mouse mats are particularly interesting, as they come in five different surface options, providing varying levels of friction depending on user preference.

The Viper V4 Pro is the latest update to Razer’s lightweight esports mouse. It uses the company’s HyperSpeed Wireless Gen 2 technology with true 8000Hz polling in both wired and wireless modes, reducing click and motion latency.

The mouse is built around the Focus Pro 50K Gen‑3 optical sensor, offering up to 50,000 DPI, 930 IPS tracking and 90G acceleration. A new Frame Sync feature aligns sensor scans with polling cycles to minimise motion latency. The V4 Pro also includes Gen 4 optical switches rated for 100‑million clicks, an optical scroll wheel and a redesigned shell that brings the weight down to 49–50g depending on colour.

Razer is also launching the Gigantus V2 Pro mouse mats, available in five speed ratings, ranging from high‑friction control surfaces to low‑friction speed options. Each version uses a different weave pattern and a matching GlideCore foam firmness to adjust glide and stopping power. The mats feature stitched edges, an anti‑slip base and a rollable, warp‑resistant design for travel.

The Viper V4 Pro will be priced at £159.99 while the Gigantus V2 Pro Large mouse mat costs £49.99.
