They have a rating of 8 or higher on the Surface Quality Analyser Tool

What Mionix said about its two new mousepad lines is not perfectly accurate, since the pads don't actually have the S.Q.A.T. Technology.

Short for Surface Quality Analyser Tool, S.Q.A.T. is a feature possessed by the Mionix NAOS 5000 gaming mouse.

This mouse measures the data loss between images of the surface taken by the mouse sensor, and then translates the info in a rating of 1 to 10.

Only ratings of 8 or above guarantee no tracking loss. The ENSIS and SARGAS mousepad have 8 or 10 rating.

ENSIS are made of aluminum alloy and are coated black, while the SARGAS are made of uncoated microfiber.

“We saw tracking issues that many professional gamers experienced, which lead to bad accuracy when moving the mouse very quickly in games. In most cases the issue was not created by the sensor solution in the gaming mouse, but instead was due to the users bad quality gaming surface which are not optimized for the gaming grade sensors used today.” says Peter Nygren, CEO at Mionix AB.
