Zowie G-TF - Review
Zowie is a young company with headquarters in Huntington Beach, California. Its mission is to offer products of excellent quality at an affordable price, something that allows him not to focus exclusively on hard-core gamer niche and make it affordable for all those products previously considered elite.
The mousepad G-TF was produced in collaboration with Abdisamad "Spawn" Mohamed, Counter Strike Swedish sample, hence the "Spawn edition".
The dimensions are enormous: 440x380x4 mm (there is also a smaller version, P-TF: 340x290x4mm) and the pad is fabric on one side and rubber on the other, thus completely soft, rollable and trasportabilissimo. Zowie says that is semi-indestructible and that is comfortable for both gamers and in use every day, so this week has turned the entire editorial staff and he has not been spared any evidence, including the act as saucers.
Resistant to liquids? Much more!
All of us at least once in life, we left the stain on the table of the cup of cappuccino or coffee. The table is naturally resistant to liquids, however, remains a good impression and you must rub the sponge over to remove it. "Coincidentally" on our G-TF, not just the bottom of the cup was stained, but a little 'milk also fell on the pad ... This is how we discovered that not only waterproof but resistant to liquids. It has not grown to form the classic slick, but rather the droplets which tended more than anything else to cling to the bowl and not the pad. To clean it, no need to rub it, just above the poggiarci absorbent paper and the fluid moves around there, leaving the pad is dry, a kind of magic 
The trial by fire
To touch the surface is made of fabric, but the smell did not trust, so we tested in this way. The trick is being used well to identify false cotton shirts made in China, or use a lighter and see if it melts with the heat of the flame. The result is tissue. There is no smoke is given off and the strange pad is dissolved.
Performance
Tested with both optical and laser mouse, both economic and high-end, you immediately notice the difference. The mouse runs like a dream and the wrist thanks. In the workplace / everyday make up if placed vertically instead of horizontally. This is because we have the opportunity to stretch his arm resting on a surface which is pleasant to the touch and not cool. In this sense it may be ideal for lovers of editing, since the accuracy increases by virtue of exceptional smoothness.
Is cemented
The surface fabric is joined to the bottom rubber anti-fraying edges with triple stitching. Translated it means greater longevity and stability of the pad. If the size and weight (about 340g) state that an important, often the pad fabric tend to curl at the edges, a defect that was not seen in our case.
Conclusions
Zowie G-TF has literally conquered. Much more comfortable and enjoyable than a pad hard, amche its performance do not regret at all. The price is 25 € for the version tested, "big", and 20 € for the version a bit 'smaller, "medium". Given the excellent quality of materials, everything said before, and the fact that you will not have change for a while ', the value for money is perfect. Perhaps a small price reduction will encourage a wider spread.
