At the time of writing, Zowie offers no less than 9 different pads. With names that can look quite similar and the new version comes out quite regularly, we have made this article to help guide you through the world of Zowie Mousepads.

Size

The first – and perhaps the most important thing – to find out when talking about Zowie Mousepads is the fact that they come in various sizes. Each of these sizes has different letters assigned to it. Contrary to what most other brands do, Zowie does not use S, M, and L, but their own system. These are the following:

• Small (34 × 30) Zowie bearings are symbolized by the letter P
• Big (47 × 39) Zowie bearings are symbolized by the letter G
• Extra large (50 × 50) Zowie bearings are symbolized by the letter H

With zowie pads, The first letter always means its size. So a G-Sr, G-Tr, and G-SR-SE The same size, which is 47 × 39.

Different zowie mousepads

This specific model clearly can also have a different version. There are SR, SR II, and SR III for example. One exception where a different version is not always mentioned is the G-S-S-S line, although Zowie recently also began to give them different version names such as G-SR-SE Rouge II.

Tr

This is the mousepad at the latest Zowie. It has the same surface as SR, but softer foam. This means that mouse roller skates are more likely to explore the surface when playing, causing the bearing to feel slower. TR is a very slow bearing and is very controlled when compared to other mousepad.

SR

This is a famous Zowie control pad. It has the same surface as TR but faster foam, making it a little faster for most users. With that: SR is very controlling mousepad in a large scheme, and often lovingly referred to as ‘mud pads’ because of how much resistance it offers.

SR-It

SR-SE is not a special/limited edition of SR, but a type of mousepad that is completely separate. SR-SE is a more balanced bearing, with a focus on offering a combination of control and fineness. Compared to other mousepads out there, SR-SE is at a slower end, so we consider it more than a control oriented bearing than a ‘true medium’ bearing.

Note that SR-SE comes in various colors and special editions, unlike other pads. This is always shown in a name too. An example is ‘G-SR-SE Rouge’ or ‘G-SR-SE Gris’.

TF-X

TF-X is a zowie pad that focuses on speed. It has a hybrid surface and is intended for users who want speed and cunning. This is the most popular PAD in the pro scene, so you won’t often see it on our website.
