Corsair goes on glass

Corsair MM Glass
Translate from : Corsair går på glas
Corsair is now entering the enthusiast mouse pad market in earnest. They have just announced a complete overhaul of their MM series, spanning three different levels. The big headline, however, is their flagship: Corsair's very first mouse pad made of glass.

Corsair divides their new line-up into three categories, offering widely different materials and form factors:

  • MM Glass Large: The flagship of the series. It measures 400 x 500 mm and has a 0.2μm micro-etched glass surface. The edges are CNC-cut and rounded so that the mouse cable (or your sleeve) does not get caught. The bottom consists of a 1 mm thick polyurethane (PU) coating that practically sticks to the table. Available in black and gray.
  • MM PRO Control: A more traditional e-sports focus. Here you get a thick 4 mm PU base and a premium micro-textured fabric surface that is also washable. The thick base acts as shock absorption for the wrist. Available in sizes M and L (black and gray).
  • MM Anti-Fray: The standard mat for the average gamer. It has a classic natural rubber base and reinforced (anti-fray) stitching at the edge to prevent fraying. This model is available in the widest range of sizes – from M all the way up to a gigantic 3XL that covers the entire desk.

The micro-etched patterns in the glass version and the weave in the PRO edition are designed to give modern optical mouse sensors the best possible topographic map to read from.

Without a consistent surface, the mouse's software (like iCUE) and sensor will have to compensate for errors in the reading, which can result in jitter or lost tracking. Corsair's new surfaces are designed to deliver raw, unfiltered data to the mouse's sensor without interference.


In practice, the three mats are built to deliver completely different gaming experiences based on friction:

MM Glass Large is built for extreme speed and quick flicks. The challenge with glass mats is that they often make noise when the mouse moves over them, but Corsair has given the glass a matte, sound-absorbing treatment to minimize noise. At the same time, the ultra-adhesive PU bottom ensures that the heavy glass plate does not move a millimeter, even when things get rough.

The MM PRO Control focuses on "stopping power." The 4mm thick base gives slightly when you press the mouse into the surface. This creates extra friction and lets you brake the mouse lightning fast and precisely - a feature that is critical in tactical shooters like Counter-Strike 2 and Valorant, where you have to stop the mouse precisely on your opponent's head.

MM Anti-Fray delivers the familiar, balanced glide. It's the mat for those who play a bit of everything and prefer a reliable fabric mat without extremes in either speed or resistance.

With the new MM family, Corsair is closing a gap in their portfolio. Their jumping on the glass trend with the MM Glass Large proves that they are listening to hardcore enthusiasts who are increasingly opting out of fabric for the ultimate in speed and durability.

Whether you're after lightning-fast glass, controlled stopping power on thick esports fabric, or just want a huge 3XL mat to cover up the scratches on your desk, Corsair now has a dedicated product on the shelf.


Corsair has not yet announced the official Danish prices for the three variants.
