SteelSeries has launched the QcK Performance Series mousepad, offering specialized surfaces tailored to different gaming styles—Speed, Balance, and Control.
Expanding the QcK mousepad line, SteelSeries has launched the QcK Performance Series mousepad to enhance the performance of eSports players. Whether you are a competitive player who requires quick reflexes, precise aiming, or a mix of both, the QcK Performance Series offers speed, balance, and control surfaces to suit your play style.
SteelSeries has specialized in providing gaming peripherals for PC users since the release of its first mousepad, the Icemat, in 2001. In 2004, SteelSeries introduced the QcK mousepad to many gamers. Kicking off the range, the QcK Heavy was released the same year, focusing on control with a thick, non-slip base and a microfiber cloth for low- and high-CPI mouse tracking. Thirteen years after the release of the QcK Heavy, the QcK Prism was unveiled, incorporating RGB into the mousepad. It was further improved in 2021 with a redesign that used the signature micro-woven cloth surface for precise control and customizable RGB lighting with a notification display and an audio visualizer.
Joining the QcK family, the QcK Performance Series is tailored to different play styles to provide eSports players with long-lasting use and enhanced performance, based on years of research and collaboration with competitive players, engineers and designers. The mouse pad features a 3.5mm base with neoprene foam for stability and low-profile stitched edges for durability.
The SteelSeries QcK Performance Series will have three surfaces to suit your playing style. The available surfaces are
- QcK Performance | Speed – Gamers into fast-paced games, the surface provides a smooth and consistent glide thanks to their ultra-low dynamic friction and interwoven fabric design.
- QcK Performance | Balance—The surface is crafted with a tight weave and high stitch count for casual gamers who want to switch between fast-paced and slow-paced games.
- QcK Performance | Control – Primarily focusing on precision in slow-paced games, the surface is crafted from the high-density stitch patterns and micro-texture surface to ensure a smooth drag and precise aiming.
Before the launch, three FaZe members tested the new QcK Performance Series, winning the championship and $1 million in prize money at the Rainbow Six Invitational on Feb. 16, 2025. The three FaZe members who used the new mousepads are:
