The Atlas is a 450-by-400 millimeter (17.72 x 15.75 inches) pane of tempered glass, set onto a rubber base that gives it a gunmetal look. It\u2019s super-smooth and hard \u2014 duh, it\u2019s glass! \u2014 but a slightly frosted etching pattern means it works great for optical mice. As opposed to regular transparent glass, which, you know, doesn\u2019t. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/423010\/razer-firefly-review-what-cardboard-can-teach-us-about-a-60-mousepads-pure-luxury.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">No Chroma lighting<\/a>, no wireless mouse charging. It\u2019s just a sheet of glass and some rubber with a Razer logo etched into it. The company kindly requests that you don\u2019t use the Atlas to start fires like a magnifying glass, or use it as a gigantic sunshade, or smash someone\u2019s skull with it. (No really, all three of those things are contra-indicated on Razer\u2019s spec page for the Atlas!) The fact that the company specifically tells you not to use the mousepad as a blunt weapon indicates that they\u2019re confident the tempered glass will last a while. <\/p>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/razer-atlas-warnings.jpg?quality=50&#038;strip=all\" alt=\"Razer Atlas warning labels\" width=\"1024\" height=\"533\"><\/figure>\n<p>Razer<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Even so, a hundred bucks is pretty ridiculous.

I recommend buying the latter and gluing a regular mousepad cloth to the bottom \u2014 at least then you can also use it to chop up veggies. <\/p>\n<p><\/body><\/div>\n<div data-ga=\"article-footer-author\">\n<h3>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/author\/mcrider\" rel=\"author\"><br \/>\n\t\tAuthor: Michael Crider<\/a>, Staff Writer\t\t<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/author_photo_Michael-Crider_1635298804-1.jpg?quality=50&#038;strip=all&#038;w=150&#038;h=150&#038;crop=1\" height=\"125\" width=\"125\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Michael is a former graphic designer who&#8217;s been building and tweaking desktop computers for longer than he cares to admit.
