Alienware fUnc sUrface 1030 Review

Posted by Ripper at 20:20 1/4/2004.

Following on from Myers' review of the DKT Megamat, Hotteh recently got to grips with Alienware's version of the fUnc 1030 sUrface. Here's a snippet:

End of the map, I popped the surface free from its housing and turned the product onto the smooth side careful not to eradicate my previously excellent building work. The smooth side really didn't benefit me too much with CS, the lack of friction made me fiddle with the sensitivity for about the same amount of time I spent playing the game itself. The mat was slick and the mouse moved almost too quickly despite my best efforts to tame it.


It's another decent review and I urge you to check it out here if you're considering buying a new mousemat. Also, look out for another surface review soon.

i've got one of them. they're good...well, they're funcs so they're bound to be alright. if your willing to live with PLAYSBESTONALIENWAREOMFGZOWNAGEIMO written across the middle of your mat, and without func written anywhere on it, and without a big metal tin, a save of £15 is well worth it. gg alienware i reckon.
btw, its not an april fools joke... [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Just incase anyone is interested i can make customized func1030's for ppl if they're interested. My very own matt has "POP OWNS LE MATT" drawn on it in black marker with a luminous yellow border to the text. Its quite fetching! It also performs better then a standard func1030 for some reason!

overclockers sell the standard ones for £20 too.

I had a go with the alienware func at i19, it was really nice. I also played with a ricochet, which seemed much the same as func, but a bit bigger. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
