Matrova Breeze - Initial Impressions

This was sent out as a review copy, but it doesn't affect my opinion of the pad.

Introduction

Hey there, I received my review unit a few days ago and have been using it exclusively since. I wanted to make a quick initial impressions/review, hope you find it helpful.

Specs and Overview

Brand/Model: Matrova Breeze
Size: 490x420mm
Material: Cloth
Thickness: 3.5mm
Base: Polyurethane Rubber

Design & Build Quality

  • Surface Feel: The surface is the thing I love the most about the pad, it's VERY smooth, quite literally like silk or a windbreaker, can't get enough of it, feels amazing both with and without an arm sleeve.
  • Skate feedback: Completely smooth/no feedback with endgame gear stock skates, minimal amounts of texture picked up during long/fast swipes with the tiger ice v2 dots.
  • Base: The base was something that shocked me just like the texture did, without exaggeration, it sticks to the desk like a sticker. From how much I have moved it so far (a lot), it still sticks like it initially did.
  • Edges: Flawless stitching, below the surface, not noticeable at all while playing.
  • Aesthetics: Neutral green, not too vibrant to catch your eye while playing but not too dull to make your setup look boring. It strikes a nice balance that complements most desk setups without being distracting. I personally find it beautiful.

Performance

  • Speed vs. Control: It's a pad designed for speed and that's what you get with it, low static and dynamic friction, on par/maybe even faster than the Raiden. Tiger ice v2 dots glide noticeably faster than stock endgame gear skates.
  • Consistency: Near perfect x-y consistency, providing a smooth and predictable glide across the entire surface. There are no noticeable inconsistencies or variations that could disrupt you in any way.
  • Comfort: In my area which is rather cold, the pad feels like memory foam. It's more on the firm side, but still being soft enough to not be considered a hard pad, making it comfortable for extended use. The surface also doesn’t retain much heat, which is a bonus for long sessions or people prone to sweating.

Verdict (Rating Out of 10)

"So far, I'd give the Matrova Breeze a 10/10 as it checks out every box for what i've been looking for in a mousepad. It’s a great choice for those looking for a fast pad or those that play fast paced games such as Apex Legends, OW2, Marvel Rivals, The Finals, etc."

I personally ditched my other mousepads (Xtrfy GP4, Aqua Control Zero/Plus, Artisan Zero, Tang Dao X) and switched to the Breeze with the intention of forcing myself to get used to the speed in order to fix some flaws in my aiming, and due to the quality being top notch. Hope this review helped! If you have any questions or want me to test something specific, feel free to leave a comment!
