@@mozly9080 You would be mistaken. You might be able to figure out who manufactured it and buy a solid color from somewhere else, but as far as LTT store is concerned there is only one color option. This makes perfect sense though. They have 15 different sizes. That would be impossible to do for them with more than one color scheme. PS: Mine is great. I just ordered a second one to have as a spare when I inevitably ruin this one somehow.
Love how the first review I see for the deskmats is a 1 star review cause the guy is butthurt that it's always out of stock. Thanks very helpful guy who never bought one.
I hate reviews like that. Or "received in a torn up box because shipping handled it badly" like thanks man, this tells me how good of a product it is for sure.
Just bought mine. Thanks for the dedication you put into making an actual reliable mousepad instead of some crummy piece of fabric with your logo on it. I also can't express how nice (although I'm sure frustrating) it is to have 15 different SKUs. Being able to get a mouse pad that is a perfect fit for my desk is something I'm very happy about!
GN did a rundown of their process for mousepads actually. I'm pretty sure Steve said they ended up investing in a manufacturing facility for themselves, I'll see if I can find it.
finally LTT realized how hard it is to design a mousepad. There's two very important meausrements you guys didn't mention. Static friction, how much force is needed to start moving the mouse, and kinetic friction, how fast is the mousepad. And also you can't only test mousepad only on one mouse. Mouses have different shapes and materials of mouse feets. They all have different reactions with the mousepad.
I’m sure anything beats the “dead zone” area on my wooden desk. There’s a few holes in the wood that’s filled in with black epoxy. If I go over that area, my mouse just stops moving entirely.
I saw they were available almost an hour ago and bought it immediately. so happy because i just built my first pc last saturday, and now i have a little piece of LTT to be part of my setup.
People really underestimating the massive value of having these available in FIFTEEN different sizes. I have tried many different pads which admittedly worked just "fine", but it was LTT who finally made one available in the EXACT size I actually wanted! I couldn't love it more, thank you LTT!
Every industry I’ve been in has taught me that there is soooo much more going on than you initially think to make things happen. Incredible product and a great way of showing just what all has to happen to get there!
Just ordered a 900 x 400. My current one has some wear spots that is no longer as smooth as it used to be. Glad to see LTT put in a lot of work to manufacturing these. Looking forward to them.
You should really make more R&D Documentaries. Another thing: one of those FNATIC slides is marked as confidential, while I'm fairly sure you did ask for permission before showing it, how did they feel about having their marketing material used to build a competitor?
It genuinely feels like linus was giving credit to FNATIC during the whole video.. but it still feels kinda scummy to me. "Here's this really great thing, and here's how we copied it and made a metric shit ton of money"
@@brandonhare8642 they didn't copy anything about fnatic's mousepad though, they just had it as a reference point but the process and materials being used for ltt's one is completely different or so I am led to believe. They did end up with a similar mousepad due to the fact they did copy their testing method and well, there aren't many ways to go about testing a mousepad either so I can't really blame them for that
I'm a total SIMP for LTT merch hahaha. You guys just make such high quality stuff, and it always has the best designs. Keep up the great work! Planning on placing an order here again soon for a bunch of shirts (for the second time, I gained some weight and now my previous shirts don't fit, but I MUST have LTT shirts so order #2 here we come 😁) and maybe a plushie. I already have an RGB desk mat by razer that I'm super satisfied with, but who knows, I could maybe find a use for a second one if I tried hard enough
I hope someone sees this. I just want to say thank you to everyone at LMG for making videos and everything you guys do. I love watching all these videos across the various channels. It teaches me so much about tech and it really shines a light on everyday. I love you guys, thank you again for everything. Keep being awesome 🤘🏻
Okay. This is a fantastic video. I've always assumed that the products RUclipsrs sell are just rebranded products with little to no research or thought put into them. The fact you guys put so much care into your mouse pads is awesome and I'll be buying one as a result. I wish more companies would go into the details of how they developed their products and thought process behind their design decisions. I'd find that much more valuable than all the random marketing nonsense they put out.
I'm not gonna knock anything, I would love to buy another that better fits my desk (got a 900x600, ideally need a 1000x600), but I'm gonna hold off on my order in hopes 1 more person can actually get one at long last. Maybe if another design gets brought out, I'll pick one up in the size that best fits my desk.
This mousepad is so large ! Mine is just a tiny circle filled with a semi-random pattern of dots and glitter looking like an holographic picture. It is washable and has been used daily for more than 10 years without any noticeable change in print quality or mouse pointer drifting.
Got my desk pad on the second wave! I love this thing, makes a great deskpad but I got the largest one for one purpose, to use as a mat for playing board games and it works awesomely for that as well! What a great product! I love how much work went into this and the extremely fair pricing! Way to go LTT!
The R&D details, data collection, error margins, doing everything the "proper" scientific way, etc was awesome to see! Hopefully stock lasts this time :)
I would Love to See a Black Edition with only small orange elements. Dont get me wrong! The northern lights are great, but sometimes it needs to be without rgb
This has to be the best marketing strategy for selling your sponsored products. At the end of the day its a mouse pad. But you guys have put so much dedication into something people have used for years
Youve made it as a company making a product that is a trend to buy and something not expensive for people to show off and be proud about owning, well done
I think on engineering related videos like this one, it would be more interesting to hear more of Alex/other LTT engineers rather than Linus saying "a bunch of stuff" everytime
We don't really know what R&D other reputable mousepad makers go through. This was LMG's first go at it. If they keep making new designs, they should just use the same mousepad material without having to re-research it.
You guys should put a little tube around the outside that lights up like razer has done, it would really compliment the style of the northern lights bright contrasty colorful stuff
I saw these available about a week ago in the store and almost bought one but I'm not a fan of the design. still cool to see how much care went into making the best possible mouse pads though. good job guys :)
After years i finally caved and visited the lttstore. Needed a new mousepad, but the shipping costs to europe are criminal. Had to add some other stuff to warrant the purchase and fill your pockets even more... So my dog now has a nice meme pillow with your face on it. Since he enjoy's the occasion pillow hump, i'll throw his old one out and let him have his way with you. Ps. Thanks for putting so much effort into the products you put up on your store, it's really appreciated. Keep it up.
That is why you don't just buy the mousepad. You buy an LTT store waterbottle, hoodie, pillow, laptop case, gpu, branded PC, and car all at the same time. You save so much on shipping!
I have had my LTT Northern Lights Desk pad for a few months now. it still feels new, and is holding up very well. I recommend them to anyone looking for a quality desk pad.
You know, I hate it when RUclipsrs draw a face and there name on a shirt in 30 seconds and it’s really sloppy, then put it on a cheap merch store so it costs 20 cents to make and they sell it for $50, I know its supposed to be silly but common. And when you see videos like this you can really appreciate the RUclipsr who put actual effort into it. 👏👏 good job Linus! (And his team)
Realy nice work with testing rig. Here are some suggestions for future (take more samples of common manufactures like: corsair, logitech, fnatic, yours, some aliexpres/wish/ebay/amazon shit, ...): 1. Watch project farm videos (how to evaluate manufacture claims, and design test scenarios -> having more of them is the key for good review) 2. Test dirt build up over time (and its effect on tracking) 3. Test washability of products 4. Drag resistance (again inspire in project farm) both pad+desk, pad+hand
RnD was shown being performed on a black pad. What I'm wondering is does the final print on the pad have any effect on accuracy? Just curious. Cool stuff either way.
it is a full desk pad, the part on the right for your mouse is still black. he explained it in the SC video that they kept the right part black for the mouse, so i assume that printed color will affect the mouse tracking
I was very surprised how good the ltt mouse pad was when it (FINALLY) arrived. It's far and away the highest quality mouse pad I've ever used. It embarrasses the Qck pads I've used for years. The only problem is that my wife liked it so much...... It's at her desk not mine :(
Thanks for the fnatic recommendation! Love the review and test process, but not a fan of all the colors and busy design of the current LTT pad. Hope the pro pad is a bit more muted.
Picked an LTT pad up anyways, lol. Design isn't as in you face in person as I thought it'd be. Quality wise, yeah, this thing is on point. Much nicer than the Glorious pad that it replaced. Well done LTT
I actually emailed LTT after receiving my mousepad. I had no idea that you could enjoy a mousepad. It's like one of the Newtonian fluids. When you rest your wrist on it, it doesn't depress at all; the mouse is never in a pit. But you feel your elbow sink in a bit when you give pressure. It's comfy but sturdy. I've never had any tracking issues with any mousepad, this was no different. I never imagined noticing a difference in mousepad quality. But the size, the look, and especially the feel is unmatched.
I thought about getting one but even the smallest one is WAY too big for my tiny keyboard tray, unless one day I actually get a full desk. They look great but my feedback is I didn't buy one because they are just TOO big for a normal desk keyboard tray. If you guys have them in stock after I finally upgrade to a normal desk that has tons of space I totally want one. I see they're in stock again now so I guess I just have to buy the tiniest version and see if that fits? My biggest problem with all mouse pads is that they eventually get flimsy and start doing this thing where they like fold upwards on the corners after extended use, and once they do that there is no way to get them to be completely flat again. So I've gone through many mouse pads over the years and have no clue if the LTT mouse pad will do the same thing after a year or two, I'm guessing they won't because they have stitched edges on them so that is nice. In conclusion buying a $30 USD mouse pad plus shipping for something I won't use right now because the smallest 900mm X 300mm is still too large for a keyboard tray (I have to use a numpadless Corsair K65 LUX keyboard + a logitech G pro wireless to fit in my tray), I just keep buying Steelseries QCK mousepads every year or two once they get foldy on the edges since they're only like $10, I'll have to try a stitched edge QCK version eventually. I def want one because the art is very nice but I'd probably be folding them over onto my keyboard with how long they seem to be.
@@neondemon5137 That's probably why they fold/fray upwards on these Steelseries QCK's because the ones I get are not stitched on the edges. I thought about getting one of those edged stitched ones last time so next mouse pad I get maybe I will try that.
Yeah when I saw the CNC rig I was hoping there'd be a durability test involved. I guess at this point they've been out long enough that we'd know if there were durability issues.
I will get one, but I'm sure it will just become an LTT cat mat in less than a week. She's already claimed the desk chair, she may as well claim the desk too.
shipping costs arent the only problem, the european import fees have changed since the end of last month and made everything incredibly expensive. i wanted to get some merch from another american youtuber and i literally cant afford it seeing how a 20$ item will cost me almost a 100$ with shipping + import fees. absolutely insane.
Just ordered one. Been watching your videos for awhile and just wanted to help the channel. I didn’t know mouse pads could be different. Looks awesome.

No need. A prepaid shipping option where you pay import tax at checkout is easier, and works well
FS did that and I finally don't have to break my wallet in half whenever I need very specific networking equipment.
They would just need to implement IOSS. Then tax and VAT would be payed on checkout.
Only true gamers know the pain of using a book as a mousepad.

Been waiting for the Norther Lights pad since I first saw it. Just ordered and cannot wait to put it on my desk!
I'm just waiting for the day when linus makes his one gpu factory
You dont think he already has?
Where do you think the verified gamer GPUs came from?
@@Hellspooned2 hahahahah yep
I feel like LMG has put more R&D into making a mousepad than actual mousepad makers.
Actual makers just order it in bulk from China and slap logo
We don't really know what R&D other reputable mousepad makers go through. This was LMG's first go at it. If they keep making new designs, they should just use the same mousepad material without having to re-research it.
You guys should put a little tube around the outside that lights up like razer has done, it would really compliment the style of the northern lights bright contrasty colorful stuff
Thank you SO MUCH for making this video! I just bought one!
Doesn’t he know that we are all professional gamers that would notice the difference?
gotta love the happy router noices when its testing the mousepad @ 3:48
A cool video idea would be Steve from gamers Nexus and Linus exchanging merch and doing a review on those, could be really fun :D
I saw these available about a week ago in the store and almost bought one but I'm not a fan of the design. still cool to see how much care went into making the best possible mouse pads though. good job guys :)
6:35 I love how they censored "COOLER MASTER" and "CORSAIR" like "That should be enough for the legal team" or something
I’d love to see a more greyscale mouse pad so it would actually fit in my setup
Big Fan Here LMG. Been here for quite a bit. Hope u guys are doing well. Would love to see more videos featuring Dennis tho.
After years i finally caved and visited the lttstore. Needed a new mousepad, but the shipping costs to europe are criminal. Had to add some other stuff to warrant the purchase and fill your pockets even more... So my dog now has a nice meme pillow with your face on it. Since he enjoy's the occasion pillow hump, i'll throw his old one out and let him have his way with you.
Ps. Thanks for putting so much effort into the products you put up on your store, it's really appreciated. Keep it up.
sadly, where i live the cost of shipping is equal to the price of mousepad itself and i'm talking about the 1200x700mm variant
But ur Tony stark ..
That is why you don't just buy the mousepad. You buy an LTT store waterbottle, hoodie, pillow, laptop case, gpu, branded PC, and car all at the same time. You save so much on shipping!
don't they cost the same no matter the size?
Yeah, I'm in the UK and a $30 deskpad with $20 shipping is pretty steep.
@@Faabiyen good idea, consider it done
I feel really good about getting your mousepad a couple months ago :)
Also any tips on how to clean them?
I have had my LTT Northern Lights Desk pad for a few months now. it still feels new, and is holding up very well. I recommend them to anyone looking for a quality desk pad.
linus should've used artisan as a supplier, imagine an LTT hien
Artisan can barely keep up with their stock :(
@@Pado01 pain
@@Pado01 still though. Would be insane.
@@ReviewedByAndy Yeah I'm planning on a XL Otsu, but would love a deskpad version.
so if i want the best mousepad available I should just buy Fnatic's? Ok got it
You know, I hate it when RUclipsrs draw a face and there name on a shirt in 30 seconds and it’s really sloppy, then put it on a cheap merch store so it costs 20 cents to make and they sell it for $50, I know its supposed to be silly but common. And when you see videos like this you can really appreciate the RUclipsr who put actual effort into it. 👏👏 good job Linus! (And his team)
sadly the shipping costs almost as much as the mousepad itself :'(
*Unbiased Review*
Literaly shows a product that I want.
When you get a sponsor for your own shops advertisement - you've clearly done something right...
Best sponsor ever! I give Yubikeys out as gifts to friends/family that need them
LTT Employees should be submitting research for the PhD thesis with all these experiments..
Realy nice work with testing rig.
Here are some suggestions for future (take more samples of common manufactures like: corsair, logitech, fnatic, yours, some aliexpres/wish/ebay/amazon shit, ...):
1. Watch project farm videos (how to evaluate manufacture claims, and design test scenarios -> having more of them is the key for good review)
2. Test dirt build up over time (and its effect on tracking)
3. Test washability of products
4. Drag resistance (again inspire in project farm) both pad+desk, pad+hand
I’d like to personally give an award to the people who commented “first” to commemorate their stupendous achievement
Dude, ur Bad Batch and Loki Breakdowns are really well done!! Keep it up 👍
RnD was shown being performed on a black pad. What I'm wondering is does the final print on the pad have any effect on accuracy? Just curious. Cool stuff either way.
it is a full desk pad, the part on the right for your mouse is still black. he explained it in the SC video that they kept the right part black for the mouse, so i assume that printed color will affect the mouse tracking
I purchased this mousepad finally and it is without a doubt an astronomical upgrade from the old mat I had . 10/10 I will buy again!
I was very surprised how good the ltt mouse pad was when it (FINALLY) arrived. It's far and away the highest quality mouse pad I've ever used. It embarrasses the Qck pads I've used for years.
The only problem is that my wife liked it so much...... It's at her desk not mine :(
Thanks for the fnatic recommendation! Love the review and test process, but not a fan of all the colors and busy design of the current LTT pad. Hope the pro pad is a bit more muted.
Picked an LTT pad up anyways, lol. Design isn't as in you face in person as I thought it'd be. Quality wise, yeah, this thing is on point. Much nicer than the Glorious pad that it replaced. Well done LTT
I actually emailed LTT after receiving my mousepad. I had no idea that you could enjoy a mousepad. It's like one of the Newtonian fluids. When you rest your wrist on it, it doesn't depress at all; the mouse is never in a pit. But you feel your elbow sink in a bit when you give pressure. It's comfy but sturdy. I've never had any tracking issues with any mousepad, this was no different.
I never imagined noticing a difference in mousepad quality. But the size, the look, and especially the feel is unmatched.
I thought about getting one but even the smallest one is WAY too big for my tiny keyboard tray, unless one day I actually get a full desk.
They look great but my feedback is I didn't buy one because they are just TOO big for a normal desk keyboard tray. If you guys have them in stock after I finally upgrade to a normal desk that has tons of space I totally want one. I see they're in stock again now so I guess I just have to buy the tiniest version and see if that fits?
My biggest problem with all mouse pads is that they eventually get flimsy and start doing this thing where they like fold upwards on the corners after extended use, and once they do that there is no way to get them to be completely flat again. So I've gone through many mouse pads over the years and have no clue if the LTT mouse pad will do the same thing after a year or two, I'm guessing they won't because they have stitched edges on them so that is nice.
In conclusion buying a $30 USD mouse pad plus shipping for something I won't use right now because the smallest 900mm X 300mm is still too large for a keyboard tray (I have to use a numpadless Corsair K65 LUX keyboard + a logitech G pro wireless to fit in my tray), I just keep buying Steelseries QCK mousepads every year or two once they get foldy on the edges since they're only like $10, I'll have to try a stitched edge QCK version eventually.
I def want one because the art is very nice but I'd probably be folding them over onto my keyboard with how long they seem to be.
@@neondemon5137 That's probably why they fold/fray upwards on these Steelseries QCK's because the ones I get are not stitched on the edges. I thought about getting one of those edged stitched ones last time so next mouse pad I get maybe I will try that.
My mouse pad was just delivered. It looks so cool. I really like that the material is a little squishy but still pretty firm.
9 months later and the mousepad is just good as it was new, I even bring it to school everyday for playing CSGO on my gaming laptop!
It's good that the pads were tested for movement accuracy, but did they get tested for ordinary durability too?
Yeah when I saw the CNC rig I was hoping there'd be a durability test involved. I guess at this point they've been out long enough that we'd know if there were durability issues.
Having worked at Fnatic and having used several of their mousepads, I can only confirm that the LTT mousepad is superior in every way.
Best Ad ever lol. Ordered mine, thanks Linus for all the tips.
I will get one, but I'm sure it will just become an LTT cat mat in less than a week.
She's already claimed the desk chair, she may as well claim the desk too.
This is Nvidia RTX launch all over again except everyone is happy that they were all sold off. so happy for LTT
Well.. you have a rig, do maybe, a followup with most popular non-mousepad mouspads?
Desks: wooden, lacquered, oiled
Books: glossy print, matte print?
I'd buy this in a heartbeat if shipping weren't so expensive to Europe. I'd pay more for shipping than the pad is worth :(.
Would certainly be worth them getting some sent to fulfilment centres in Europe directly to avoid double import fees.
See if you know anyone locally that also wants one, that way you can split shipping costs with them :)
shipping costs arent the only problem, the european import fees have changed since the end of last month and made everything incredibly expensive. i wanted to get some merch from another american youtuber and i literally cant afford it seeing how a 20$ item will cost me almost a 100$ with shipping + import fees. absolutely insane.
LTT: "Only the best for our costumers!"
Linus: "I mean... good enough for our costumers."
Just ordered one. Been watching your videos for awhile and just wanted to help the channel. I didn’t know mouse pads could be different. Looks awesome.
