Our verdict	KriZ's recommendation as a budget-friendly option demonstrates its accessibility and decent performance for the price.	Glass pads rarely fail. The NH04’s rubber base keeps it stable for years.	A solid choice highlighted in Carter2k’s review of pro gaming mousepads, positioning it as a reliable option.	Slightly cheaper than Performance but still offers excellent glide. Good value for most users.	While listed by KriZ as a budget option, it still holds a place in the ranking due to its availability and affordability.	A budget-friendly pad that still delivers a smooth glide and good edge support. It’s an excellent entry point for gamers who don’t want to splurge.	A hard-surface pad that offers a very low-friction glide. It’s inexpensive and highly durable, making it a solid mid-tier choice.	Solid but its vertical design limits long-term use on horizontal desks.	Another solid budget choice from KriZ’s list, indicating reasonable quality at an affordable price point.	Jstech's experience fixing mouse grip issues suggests this mat provides good precision and surface quality.	Its lower price may come at the expense of build or performance quality.
