Shop All Mousepad

Whether you're grinding ranked matches, building a clean desk setup, or looking for a surface that keeps up with high-DPI tracking, the right gaming mousepad is the foundation of consistent performance. Attack Shark's mousepad lineup spans cloth, carbon fiber, tempered glass, and ergonomic deskmat formats — each engineered around a specific performance need, not just aesthetics.

How Attack Shark Designs Its Gaming Mouse Pads

Attack Shark positions itself as a performance-first peripheral brand, building products around competitive gaming standards rather than lifestyle branding. Across the mousepad lineup, three engineering priorities appear consistently: surface tracking consistency, anti-slip base stability, and edge durability.

Surface Technology

Every cloth pad in the lineup uses a textured non-woven top surface treated with a water- and oil-resistant coated surface. The CM05 Tempered Glass Gaming Mouse Pad breaks from this pattern entirely, using a nano-micro-etched tempered glass surface CNC-polished to 9H Mohs hardness — a material specification more commonly found in screen protectors than desk peripherals. The Mohs scale is used to compare material scratch resistance, as explained by Mohs hardness references.

Base & Edge Construction

All cloth pads use a natural rubber anti-slip base. Stitched edges, including 360° precision stitching, appear across the CM02SE, CM02PRO, CM03, and the base CM02 cloth pad, helping prevent fraying under daily use.

The CM04 carbon fiber pad uses an ultra-thin 2mm profile with a rubber base optimized for hard-surface glide.

Featured Gaming Mousepads: Full Lineup Breakdown

CM02SE eSport Gaming Mousepad — Balanced Control for Competitive Play

The CM02SE eSport Gaming Mousepad is Attack Shark's mid-range competitive cloth pad, built around a dual-performance surface philosophy: fast enough for flick shots, controlled enough for precise tracking. It is the most versatile pad in the lineup for players who don't want to choose between speed and stop.

Specifications:

Size: 410 × 310 × 4mm
Surface: Heavy textured non-woven top — optimized for both glide and deceleration
Base: Non-slip natural rubber
Edge: Anti-fraying micro edge stitching
Price: $14.99

Performance profile: The heavy-textured non-woven surface creates micro-friction that allows high-DPI mice to decelerate predictably — a critical trait for players using 800–1600 DPI in tactical shooters. The topographic map design is a recurring visual identity across Attack Shark's cloth pad range. The 4mm thickness provides enough cushion to reduce wrist fatigue during extended sessions without raising the mouse hand uncomfortably above the desk plane.

Best for: Competitive FPS and tactical shooter players who need a medium-size pad with balanced speed/control characteristics. The 410 × 310mm footprint fits standard desk configurations without requiring a full deskmat layout.

CM02PRO eSport Gaming Mousepad — Extended Coverage, Same Surface DNA

The CM02PRO takes the CM02SE's surface technology and scales it to a full extended deskmat format, covering both mouse and keyboard in a single unified surface.

Specifications:

Size: 900 × 400 × 4mm
Surface: Heavy textured non-woven cloth
Base: Non-slip natural rubber
Edge: Anti-fraying micro edge stitching
Price: $39.99

Performance profile: At 900mm wide, the CM02PRO accommodates low-sensitivity setups, including 360°+ mouse sweeps, without the pad shifting mid-game. The same non-woven surface formula as the CM02SE means tracking behavior is consistent whether a player is making micro-adjustments or full-arm sweeps.

Best for: Low-sensitivity players, desk setup enthusiasts who want a unified surface, and gamers who frequently switch between mouse-only and keyboard-and-mouse positions.

CM05 Tempered Glass Gaming Mouse Pad — Hard Surface Precision

The CM05 is the most technically advanced mousepad in the Attack Shark lineup — completely replacing traditional cloth with a nano-micro-etched tempered glass surface that delivers frictionless speed and long-term surface consistency.

Specifications:

Surface: Nano-micro-etched tempered glass, 3D milled and CNC-polished
Hardness: 9H Mohs (highly scratch-resistant)
Base: Honeycomb PU non-slip base

Thickness: 5 mm

Available Sizes:

CM05 (Large): 450 × 400 × 5 mm
CM05SE (Small): 410 × 310 × 5 mm

Performance Profile:

The nano-micro-etching creates a controlled microscopic texture that provides excellent tracking for optical sensors while maintaining extremely low macro-level friction. Thanks to the 9H hardness rating, the surface resists wear and will not develop the “glazed” spots or inconsistent glide that cloth pads commonly show after months of heavy use. The National Park Service describes hardness as a material's relative resistance to scratching on the Mohs Hardness Scale.

Best For:

Speed-oriented players, hard pad enthusiasts, low-sense FPS gamers, and users tired of cloth pad degradation over time.

FAQ about Shop All Mousepad

What is the difference between a cloth and a hard gaming mouse pad?

Cloth gaming mouse pads use a woven or non-woven fiber surface that provides micro-friction, giving players tactile feedback and natural deceleration. Hard pads — including glass and carbon fiber options — offer lower surface friction, faster glide, and more consistent long-term performance since they don't develop wear patterns as quickly.

The right choice depends on whether you prioritize control feel, which cloth pads provide, or speed consistency, which hard surfaces provide.

Are Attack Shark glass mouse pads compatible with all gaming mice?

The CM05 tempered glass pad is optimized for optical gaming mice, including Attack Shark's own 3395-sensor models. Most modern optical sensors track reliably on glass surfaces with nano-micro-etching.

Older laser sensors may perform inconsistently on glass. If you're using a current-generation optical mouse, the CM05 is broadly compatible.

What size gaming mousepad should I use for low-sensitivity gaming?

Low-sensitivity setups — typically 400–800 DPI with large arm sweeps — require extended pads of at least 800mm in width. The CM02PRO at 900 × 400mm is specifically sized for this use case, providing enough lateral coverage for full 360° mouse rotations without the pad edge interrupting movement.

How do I clean an Attack Shark cloth gaming mouse pad?

For cloth pads, including the CM02SE, CM02PRO, CM03, and CM02 base model, hand washing with mild soap and cold water is the standard method. The water-resistant coatings on these pads help repel surface spills, but do not make them fully waterproof.

The Cloud Deskmat is specifically noted as washable. Avoid machine washing cloth pads with rubber bases, as heat and agitation can degrade the rubber layer.

Does pad thickness affect gaming performance?

Thickness primarily affects wrist angle and comfort rather than tracking accuracy. The 4mm cloth pads in the Attack Shark lineup provide enough cushion to reduce wrist contact pressure during long sessions.

The CM04 carbon fiber pad at 2mm is the thinnest option, preferred by players who want the mouse hand as close to the desk surface as possible. The CM05 glass pad at 5mm is the thickest, adding weight that helps keep it stationary.

What is the advantage of stitched edges on a gaming mouse pad?

Stitched edges — present on the CM02SE, CM02PRO, CM03, and CM02 base model — prevent the cloth from fraying at the perimeter over time.

Without stitching, repeated mouse-over-edge contact causes the surface material to unravel, reducing the usable tracking area and creating an uneven edge that can interrupt mouse movement. The CM03 uses a tightly locked edge construction for additional durability.

Is a wrist rest mouse pad worth it for gaming?

A wrist rest pad like the Attack Shark Cloud Deskmat reduces wrist extension angle during mouse use, which can lower fatigue and discomfort in sessions exceeding two hours. The memory foam construction conforms to wrist shape rather than providing rigid support.

For purely competitive play, most players prefer flat pads to maintain unrestricted wrist movement. For mixed gaming and productivity use, a wrist rest pad offers a meaningful ergonomic benefit.

What does 9H hardness mean for a glass mouse pad?

The Mohs hardness scale rates material scratch resistance from 1, the softest, to 10, diamond. A 9H rating, as specified for the CM05, means the surface resists scratching from most materials encountered in desk environments, including metal objects and most plastics.

In practical terms, a 9H glass mouse pad will not develop the surface scratches that degrade tracking consistency over time, unlike cloth pads that accumulate fiber compression and glazing.

Can I use a gaming mouse pad on a glass desk?

All Attack Shark cloth pads use natural rubber anti-slip bases, which provide strong grip on glass surfaces. The CM05 uses a honeycomb PU base, also rated for non-slip performance on smooth surfaces including glass desks.

The CM04 carbon fiber pad's rubber base similarly performs on glass. If your desk surface is glass, any pad in this lineup will remain stable during normal gaming use.

What is the carbon fiber mouse pad surface feel compared to cloth?

Carbon fiber — as used in the CM04 — produces a harder, smoother surface than cloth with a subtle directional texture from the woven fiber pattern. Glide resistance is lower than cloth but higher than glass, placing it between the two in the speed spectrum.

The 2mm ultra-thin profile also changes the wrist angle compared to 4mm cloth pads, which some players find more natural for claw or fingertip grip styles.
