It’s been a long time since we had the opportunity to test a mouse pad on the site. Well, this problem is now solved. Indeed, the brand Corsair, that we know well, sent us a MM700 3XL RGB mouse pad for a complete test. So, here we go! 
Presentation and unpacking:
Small general presentation:
Corsair has just released a new mouse pad very large and RGB! Regarding its dimensions, it measures 1220 mm x 610 mm x 4 mm. We are not so far from the XXXL mat of Thermaltake. As a reminder, it measured 1600 mm x 800 mm x 4 mm.
The MM700 3XL RGB has three distinct zones of RGB that can be configured with the software iCUE corsair’s software. Twelve different lighting profiles are available on the software or through a button on the mat. In addition, the mat is equipped with a USB offset that allows you to add two USB ports at your fingertips.
Unpacking :
This mat arrives in a large box with the colors of the brand. That is to say yellow and black. On its front, we have the right to a nice representation of the carpet in question. But also some additional information. We learn that this reference has a 360° RGB lighting and a USB hub with two USB ports. On the back now, Corsair reveals the size of this RGB mouse pad: 1220 mm x 610 mm. A beautiful baby! In addition, the brand specifies that the mat has 3 dynamic RGB zones.
With the mat, we will find the classic documentation of startup and a cable to connect the MM700 3XL RGB. 
System Requirements:
To use the Corsair MM700 3XL RGB, you’ll need a PC that contains USB 2.0 or 3.0 ports. In addition, you will need at least Windows 10 to download the software iCUE. Of course, an internet connection will be required to download the software.

It is now time to focus on the “Test” part of the MM700 3XL RGB from Corsair. We put it to the test, in everyday life, in office, but also in game. So, what is it worth?
Rubber Base:
The MM700 3XL RGB mat from Corsair has a 4mm thick rubber base. This rubber clings well to all surfaces: raw wood desks, varnished wood or even melamine tops, like on the desk Flexispot EQ5. Its thickness of 4 mm will also allow to have something thick under the wrists. Thus, we will have less “cuts” related to the edge of the desk for example. Also, the MM700 3XL RGB holds well, even if you move your keyboard on it or navigate with the mouse. For us, it’s all good in this respect. Unlike the Roccat mat Sense Aimo XXL mat, Corsair offers a mat that lies flat on all its ends. As a reminder, on the Sense Aimo XXL or the Dark Rainbow XXL the seams were slightly raised at the ends. This was not very beautiful visually speaking and clearly a lack of finish.
The MM700 3XL RGB mat:
The latest mat from Corsair is very well made, as was the MM700 that we had previously tested. The fabric is pleasant under the fingers and the Corsair logo on the mat is very sober and gives a very classy effect to the mat. The carpet itself is completely black. We like it because it contrasts with the RGB LED strip around the mat.
Regarding the seams, they are neat and are, this time, white, unlike the Sense Aimo XXL which were black. As a result, they are much less visible once the mat is turned on.
Glide:
Obviously, we do not notice any sliding problems on this mouse pad. And this, regardless of the model. For this test, I had the opportunity to try it with two different mice, the MSI Clutch GM41 Lightweight Wireless and the brand new Katar Elite Wireless. Otherwise, the glide is smooth, more than with a MM350 Pro Extended XL which will tend to slow down the mice slightly. With a mouse with PTFE pads (like the latest Katar), it’s great, the mouse is less restrained. Same thing with the MSI mouse.
The USB offset
Like its previous model, Corsair has equipped its MM700 3XL RGB with a USB offset (addition of two USB) located on the right side of the mouse pad as well as the power supply of the latter. This is the best solution in my opinion and precisely in my case, since my PC is on my right. It is therefore more practical in my case. Indeed, Roccat and Empire Gaming had opted for the left. In our configuration, it was really not ideal. This offset is practical because it allows you to add USB ports to your PC. Moreover, it will only require one port to plug it in to add two more. This is very convenient, especially if you are short on USB.
The RGB:
The MM700 3XL RGB from Corsair has three customizable RGB zones (bottom of mat, top of mat, logo on power supply/USB remote). Everything can be changed with a button on this box or directly via the management software iCUE of the brand. As far as its RGB is concerned, Corsair’s mat sees its colors fade away at the opposite of the remote and the power supply. It’s a shame. We are far from the visual that could have had the first mat MM700.
[nextpage title=”Conclusion”]
We have come to the end of this test of the Corsair RGB mouse pad. So what is this mouse pad worth? We tell you everything!
A good-sized mat
Corsair offers with its MM700 3XL RGB a good large RGB mouse pad. Indeed, in addition to offering a very large mouse pad lit by RGB, the brand adds an offset that allows you to add not one but two USB ports. Unfortunately, the RGB is a bit of a step back since the colors fade at the end of the mat. Otherwise Corsair has provided its mat with white seams that are only slightly (if at all) visible when the RGB is on.
As with the first MM700 RGB, we had no complaints about the glide of the mice either, since the fabric is smoother than that of the MM350 Pro Extended XL from Corsair.
And the price in all this? :
Corsair offers its MM700 3XL RGB for €129.99, which is almost double the price of the MM700 RGB, which costs €69.90. The bill is starting to rise seriously, especially since its performance is a little less “honorable”.
Corsair MM700 3XL RGB :
We liked:
- Its sobriety
- Its precise seams
- The presence of RGB
- To be able to manage the effects with the iCUE
- Its glide
- Its large size
- That it is flat on its ends
- That the seams are discrete (white) on the RGB
- The presence of the offset that adds two USB ports
We liked less:
- The RGB that runs out of steam at the end of the carpet
- Its price hurts
With this MM700 3XL RGB from Corsair, the quality drops a bit compared to the smaller version of the mat. We find a RGB that runs out of steam at the end of the mat. Nevertheless, we still find an offset offering two additional USB ports, sobriety, precise seams and especially a very large size. On the other hand, the bill increases seriously, this time to $109.99 or 129.99 €. For us, it will be the silver award.
Thanks to Corsair!
