Sandwiched between four millimeters of foam padding in its zippered carrying case, the Razer Destructor Precision Gaming Surface (or, you know, mouse pad) would likely survive being thrown out of an airplane. That's not the way most of us travel to LAN parties, so I'm not sure why Razer went to such ridiculous lengths to protect its newest mousing surface. Sure, it's rather expensive at $39.99, and it's semi-rigid backing means you'd probably want something to keep it from bending or getting scratched if you just jammed it into a backpack. But the case Razer includes with the mouse pad is just all kinds of wrong. It's about the size and bulk of a large laptop sleeve. And it doesn't even have a handle. That wouldn't be such an issue, but the mouse pad is so large that the extra size added by the case makes the whole thing so big, it won't fit in many medium-sized bags.

Thankfully, the Destructor pad itself is definitely well thought out. Like just about everything else Razer sells, the Destructor was "co-designed, tested and validated" by professional gamers. And the company touts its "Fractal" textured surface, which they claim offers 25-37% better tracing with gaming-grade optical and laser mice. Sure, that's a whole lot of marketing babble, but the fact is the Razer Destructor is a fine piece of mouse pad.
