amazon Kingston HyperX Skyn reviews
For gamers, the mouse pad is no longer a new toy. If mouse gaming is a big factor in the game, the role of the mouse pad is not inferior.
As a product line designed specifically for gamers, Kingston HyperX recently added a new face to the Gaming Gear family: the HyperX Skyn – a mouse pad for gamers. HyperX Skyn is very different from today’s popular tablet. It is super thin and does not occupy the area of the table.
Commonly used mouse pads come in two types of packing: Cylindrical, mouse pad scroll inside for the soft pad; And boxed rectangle for hard pad.
The Kingston HyperX Skyn is just as thin as an envelope. At first I did not think it was a mouse pad, but a letter, a postcard or something. According to the package symbol, the HyperX Skyn is entitled to a two-year warranty.
As noted on the package, HyperX Skyn is a set of two mouse pads, a speed surface and a control surface. Each side of the box carries a hole in the lancet so that users can feel the surface of the table and decide whether to buy or not.
Tucked inside, the ultra-slim, ultra-thin mouse pad is just 0.254 mm – 1/20 times the soft mouse pad I’m used to. The size of the duo is 355 x 255 mm, ie the medium size.
Unlike conventional table, on the underside of the HyperX Skyn is a fixed glue surface down the table. Therefore, in the process of using, moving the mouse pad is not possible. These are both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that in the process of use, your mouse pad can not be moved unintentionally to affect the game. In addition to the ultra-thin size, you can use this surface as part of the table surface. For example, putting utensils, papers, writing paper … are generally very convenient for small desks.
Disadvantage: If you need to change the position of the pad, you will have to peel the mouse pad and paste it again. Each time you do this the glue surface will add some dust and reduce adhesion, perhaps only about 5 times that will not work anymore. However, unless you change the location of your computer once a week, otherwise this is not a big downside.
Surface & Test
HyperX Skyn has two control surfaces and speed. The control surface is marked with a viewfinder, while the speed surface is designated as a shoe.
Diurnal control table has a more rough surface, for shooters, role-playing and MOBA. Experimenting with Battlefield 4, Skyn control helped me make head-to-head shots as well as accurate fly swatter in unexpected situations. Moving on to DotA 2, complete control of the cursor that blinkes into combat, stun aoe becomes more confident, so that the stress and concentration of the game is reduced.
Moving on to the speed surface, the speed of the “scab” of the mouse (more precisely, the acceleration) is higher than the control surface. As an FPS and MOBA player, I do not appreciate this because the fly and pointer head is losing control, reducing the precision of the operation. However, switch to tactical games such as StarCraft II, Skyn speed shows the land use martial arts. Even though it’s a fuzzy chicken in this genre, I still feel it improves the ability to micro-unit a lot. Cast spell each unit, low blood units to keep troops … on these items, the control surface can not equal.

Summary
From the perspective of a longtime gamer, Kingston HyperX Skyn is a product that makes me relatively satisfied. Both surfaces provide a good experience. After 5 months of use (I use a lot of computers), there are no signs of wear or peeling. In addition, at times of work forced me to frequently use pen paper, HyperX Skyn is like a desk, put paper and write up comfortably.
Kingston HyperX Skyn currently has a retail price of $ 9.99 for each surface and $ 24.5 for both combos, which is very reasonable compared to the quality of the product.
Pros:
– Good surface.
– Easy to clean.
– Highly durable surface.
– Good price.
Cons:
– Stick to the table, can only peel off about 5 6 times.
