Just collected my parcel today and open the spoiler to see images


The scarab surface is really really smooth. The surface is more a like eXactmat control surface but with finer sand-touching-feel. Compared to goliathus speed edition, this hard type mat gave the mouse glide way smoother than the cloth type mat by significant result.

On the other hand, the scarab rubber base grip is really great for hardcore gaming despite the strong force to move the pad, it doesn't at all

Aside from the mouse pad, I really like the carrying case. Its kinda nice to act as your document holder and the carrying case is quite hard though. It has got nice looking too.

One thing I don't really like is the price, it's quite expensive for a gaming mat. Not to say ironclad and other brand as well. But if one has got much budget for a hard type gaming mat, I think scarab is a nice choice for you. Do consider Ironclad as well as it has got quite a lot of good review out there.

I damn like hardmat now because I can swipe faster

I try back to my goliathus speed I can't used to the friction now

* i just found solution in order not to get the feet worn faster,
while surfing and do other stuff i use cloth mat, gaming i use scarab

to me the scarab surface, just like the control side of the eXactmat, but with a lot more "sandy-alike-texture" on the surface.
But the glide is still very smooth, smoother than the eXactmat speed side a lot.
also I like its size, being 350mm x 270mm mouse pad is very ideal for me to short-medium range swipe
