Many people may not appreciate the extent to which a gaming surface will enhance the performance of a gaming mouse. The ROCCAT Sota has a granular plastic surface which is designed to help the mouse track accurately and glide smoothly. In our tests it proved this; we noticed no lapses in tracking and glide was smooth and effortless.
The hard plastic construction of the Sota also means it is quite robust. So it won't be damaged if you spill coffee or any of those caffeine-filled drinks that we associate with those late night gaming sessions! We don't feel, however, that it is the best gaming surface for the Pyra. As the Pyra is designed for gamers on the move, we would have thought that a cloth pad that can be rolled up would be more appropriate as the Sota is made from rigid plastic.
But for those who aren't planning to travel around a lot, the Sota is great. I've personally been using a ROCCAT Sota for a few months now with a SteelSeries Xai and I couldn't be happier with it. Unlike some larger surfaces, it's a convenient size which should fit onto most desks.
That software looks great. very stylish looking. logitech need to improve theirs.
The price is certainly good, ill say that. has stiff competition on the market right now however.
I like their mice, I used one in an event over here recently and was surprised how good the ‘feel’ was. These guys deserve to do well. hopefully we see more reviews over here of their products.
Henry, could you let me know what you think of the build quality overall, compared to say a logitech mouse? is it comparible or weaker?
left handers might like that, looks like a mirror design, or close.
I am really tempted with this, the price is much lower than say a steelseries, if the quality is as good as you say.
I have one of their older products and its still in good shape, I would say these are built just as good as logitech. I will never forget my G7 falling apart. even the cord frayed. Never again. ill stick to steelseries and these guys.
Never heard of them before, but I found their website,. cant believe id never heard of them.
I haven’t heard of Roccat until few months ago (maybe already an year?) when I read a review about their 5.1 headset (Kave)…
I was so interested so I bought the Kave and … damn, what a nice headset! so now I’m waiting for my keyboard/mouse to die so I can check theirs… 😀
