Ozone Ground Level EVO Review

“It’s all about Evolution” is Ozone’s concept regarding all the gaming gear it produces. The company thus boldly recommends evolving your mouse mat in all aspects with the Ozone Ground Level EVO. For €30, how does this extra-large mat aim to become part of your setup?

The Ground Level EVO is one of the five sizes available of the GL mousepad, being one of the largest of the group. It comes rolled up like a scroll in a solid and simple box which should easily resist wearing from shipping. Dimensions map an area of 900 by 450 mm thickened by 3mm. On the side of the box, Ozone boasts a rubberised base material and soft cloth surface allowing a soft glide for all mice. A reliable flexibility means that this pad comfortably sits in a suitcase or large bag if one fancies to take it anywhere, probably also bagging the competition. Spreading out the edges onto an appropriate sized table, the Ozone logo dominates the bottom right corner, the new company motto present at the top right and a subtle wording of the manufacturers name in white below that. Red, black and a dose of white make up the colour scheme. Yet, will the Ground Level Evo evolve one’s precision with a mouse? Using a proper mouse, I found out.

The microfiber surface texture is especially well made to nurture consistent, quick and accurate mouse movements. While using it for a week, no snags or hiccups reduced a delightful experience. The bottom of any mouse will be safe and unharmed with no scratches or grit due to the entwinement of the fabric. Mentioning any mouse, the pad provides compatibility with laser optical, LED optical and also ball mice for any old-timers out there. Outstanding results derive from using any type and any fault in cursor fluidity is surely due to the mouse itself. Flipping over a corner of the mat, a foamy rubber base is present and sticks to any desk surface; plastic, laminate, steel, glass and wood. The mat struggles to displace by even a millimetre on every surface. A 3mm thickness flattens out any dents in the face below. Cleaning the mouse mat is simple on both the top and bottom, one could beat out any dust with ease or utilise a humid cloth.

To conclude, the Ozone Ground Level Evo is adapted for any sharp movements or rapid jerks, built for gaming. High-end mice will swim elegantly on the perfect micro-fibre coat and a keyboard plus a monitor would also fit on the beast. This mouse mat is an excellent product, practically perfect. The only thing which may deter some shoppers is the colour scheme in play, but red is a common theme in many gamer setups anyway. Sitting at €30, this mouse mat is an extremely recommended purchase if one is serious about gaming.
