14 DAY TRIAL // Mouse pads don't really make much of a difference to regular PC users, since mice nowadays are capable of working on most any surface, some even on glass. Still, mousepads can bring a lot of comfort and ease of use, so ModMyMachine's new invention should find more than sufficient buyers.
The goal, MyModMachine says in its announcement, was to give the Slamepad, as the newcomer is called, “nice haptics and gaming capability” and “outstanding” good looks. In other words, the company was aiming to create more than a pad of printed plastic, so that's what it did.
Long story short, the Slamepad, measuring 315 x 235 mm / 12.4 x 9.25 inches, is “pure luxury in its 10 available colours” and comes with an anti-slip underside, plus the ModMyMachine logo engraving on the top. The edges are polished and glossy.
For those who want to know every detail, the mousepad can be colored gold, silver, bronze, champagne, dark red, orange, dark blue, light blue, purple and black. Sadly, the company failed to mention the price, unlike for the Shoggy Sandwich.
The Shoggy Sandwich from ModMyMachine is actually a very unusual item, specifically a way for decoupling pumps in a water cooling system.
You just have to slip it under the pump and never have to worry about noise from the thing vibrating against the metal case or anything of the sort.
The only problem with the Shoggy Sandwich was that the middle layer was orange, because that was what the material turned out like.
Prospective buyers kept clamoring for a black version, however. Sadly, it wasn't easy to find a material of similar quality, or to color the normal one that. Still, where there's a will, there's a way, and ModMyMachine and Shoggy finally found the way. It took several years, but they did it.
This product, at least, has been given a price, that of €6.9 / $9.34. It looks like a bit much for what is essentially foam rendered square, but then again, people who have money for PC water coolers probably don't have to worry about that.
