First, forget about the lightng for a moment.
TLDR: OUTSTANDING! The most sensitive, response-inducing gaming mat I have used during 20 years of hard-core gaming. Kudos to Razer!
I am a former anti-Razer gamer. Bought their first gaming mouse and hated it and haven't bought another Razer product since, until now, despite Razer's vastly improved top-shelf reputation and popularity among gamers at all levels. This Razer Firefly may have made me a Razer convert.
I have been a hard-core gamer for over twenty years and have tried more supposedly high-performance hard and soft gaming mouse pads than Fido has Pups, and this Razer Firefly is without question the finest quality gaming mat by far that I have ever used. It's smooth yet has just a touch of traction that doesn't miss the slightest movement of your mouse. It does not slip on your desk or table, It is also very nicely sized and slim. I don't know what more you can say about a gaming mouse pad than it has a great feel,extreme responsiveness, sits firmly on your desk, and is perfectly sized and slim. Just by holding it you can tell that it's build qauality and materials are of extremely high quality.
About the LCDs :-)
Ok, I admit it, I thought the lights looked cool and they admitedly influenced my purchasing decision. But I had no idea how much nicer a black mouse pad with a ring of colored LCDs, if I chose to use them would appear on my desk. I use a Logitech G910 Orion Spark with backlit keys of any color you choose pluse a variety of changing multicolored patterned keyboard displays, a Roccat Kone XTD with a moving multi line of color-changing LCDs on each side. I now see how unnattractive a plain colored black mat appeared next to them. Now I sometimes find myself turning on a multicolored changing screen saver, turn on the multi-colored moving rainbow display on my keyboard, mouse, and Razer Flyer, throw in a touch of music and chill in a mesmerizing trance state:-) So much the better if your keyboard is also a Razer and you can synch the colors through Razer's Synapse. Downloading Razer Synapse from the Razer website is not required. Without Synapse it is strictly plug and play and displays a slowly changing colored boarder. Synapse gives you a host of additional options for the mousepad.
