Epic Gear supply the Compoxite surface rolled up inside a long cardboard box which is decorated in a similar fashion to the packaging of the other two products in this review. In the past we have found issue with this method of packaging gaming surfaces as they often don't lay completely flat on the desk after unpacking. The Meduza didn't seem to suffer from this issue though as the base is quite heavy.
The actual surface of this mouse pad is quite different to what we have experienced in the past. It feels like the lovechild of a cloth surface and a plastic surface as the fabric is moulded into silicon. Epic Gear say that it has been specially designed to work with the HDST sensors on the Meduza.
From a practical point of view, this surface works well. We expect that it will be significantly more durable than a standard cloth pad and it has the added benefit of being water proof. This is sure to come in handy at those all night LAN events when you might accidentally knock of your favourite energy drink.
The base of the mouse mate is made from thick rubber which is bright red in colour. This will prevent the mat from slipping around on the desk.
The only slightly negative aspect of the Compoxite is that it doesn't let your mouse glide quite as freely as the best cloth pads out there. It's not far behind, though.
