I think SteelSeries can rest assured that the newest version of the SteelPad SS will remain atop the heap. I have had nothing but good things to say about this pad since I have started this review. The SteelPad SS hits on all the important points a gamer should look for: a large smooth surface that is comfortable. If you enjoy gaming or even get into some heavy graphic work, you owe it to yourself to give the SteelPad SS a try. I can almost guarantee that you will be more than satisfied as I have been.
