Get the Razer Goliathus Extended Chroma desk pad for £29.99 (50% off)
The Goliathus hasn’t been reviewed here at RPS, but the mouse pad has been received favourably elsewhere, with reviewers mentioning its soft cloth surface, good tracking accuracy and its convenient cable routing feature, which gives the appearance of just a single cable snaking back to your computer. It’s also a really good size at 91 x 29cm, giving you a unified look for your whole gaming area and a comfy platform that stretches from one side of your desk to the other. Normally Razer’s mouse pads are nearly double the price of competing options from no-name brands, but now Razer actually holds a price advantage. Compared to those no-names, you get easier to control RGB lighting - in Razer Synapse - that can synchronise with any other Razer or Razer-affiliated peripherals, like mice, keyboards, headsets and more. Of course, you could manually sync your RGB lighting using products from any vendor, but it’s just convenient to be able to change your colour scheme everywhere with a single click. I’m sure not everyone will be on board the RGB train, but I find it satisfying to change from a perky teal in the morning when I’m starting work to a calmer red or gold in the evening. You can go for the usual manufacturer-favourite rainbow wave, but there are tons of more subtle effects on offer too from gentler flickers and gradual colour changes to simple solid colours.
