Both TTeSports Conkor and Dasher mouse pads from Thermaltake come with simple but modern designs, and are built from high quality materials. The included carry pouches are a plus for people that go frequently at LAN Parties, but also protect them from dust accumulation.
At first I would like to thank CaseKing.de and Thermaltake for offering me a sample of their TTeSports Conkor and Dasher Mouse Pads.

Both Tt eSports Mouse Pads from Thermaltake come rolled inside a medium-sized cardboard packaging, with a nice design; on the front of the Conkor pad, we can see the description that the product is meant for precision movements “Control Edition”:
Without opening the box, we can touch and look at the fabric of the mouse pad, to see if it is suitable for us, before buying:
On the back of the box, we can find the product features listed, in multiple languages:
On the external surface of the box, we can also find listed the dimensions of the gaming pad:
Other pads from different manufacturers come alone; this time it is not the case, because Thermaltake has included a carry pouch (very useful in case we want to protect the pad during transport, when going to a LAN party), but also some documentation papers regarding warranty, also in multiple languages; also the pad is kept rolled with an adjustable Velcro strap:
The pad is large, and has on its frontal side an interesting design with some white and red frames that could to resemble a visor from a weapon targeting system:
On the bottom left side of the cotton weave surface, we can find the product name logo:
The opposite side reveals the Tt eSports logo:
On the back of the pad, we can find an open cell, natural rubber surface, that assures the pad won't move accidentally on the table:
The Dasher mouse pad comes in a similar packaging to the Conkor, but this version is mentioned to be suitable for speed movements “Speed Edition”:
The fabric texture can be seen without opening the box:
On the opposite side, we can find the full dimensions of the pad listed:
The back of the box holds information regarding the product features:
Like we have seen with the Conkor, the mouse pad does not come alone, but with a carry pouch and some warranty documentation; the pad is kept rolled with the help of a Tt Velcro strap:
The Dasher comes with a nice and clean look; the top left corner is curved, while the other corners have rounded edges. The white colored border on the left side and the red frame give the pad a sporty look:
On the top right corner, we can find the Dasher logo:
The Tt logo can be also found in the opposite corner:
Like on the Conkor, the bottom of the mouse pad has a natural rubber surface, which helps it not to move on the table during intense gaming sessions:
Both mouse pads from Thermaltake come with simple but modern designs, they do not disappoint and are built from high quality materials. They are easy to carry thanks to the inclusion of the protective pouches, in case we participate frequently at LAN Parties, but also protect them from dust accumulation, during the time they aren't used.
Depending on the games we are playing, we can choose one of the pads, and why not, maybe both; the Conkor is a precision mouse pad model, that provides accurate cursor targeting and track power. On the other side, the Dasher comes with silk clothing and creates a slick and seamless surface, to provide low friction speed control.
Precision (Conkor) is mostly suitable for FPS games and the Dasher can go well with the other games like MMORPGS, strategies, adventure. Both pads come with a rubber base design, to avoid accidental movement of the pad on the table.
The Conkor and Dasher mouse pads can be found for the same price at CaseKing.de, 19.90 Euros.
I would like to thank again to CaseKing.de for offering the samples for review!
