MURAKUMO by AIM1 is a next-generation glass gaming mousepad designed for players who demand both speed and control. Unlike typical glass pads that focus solely on fast glide, MURAKUMO delivers a rare balance, pairing a smooth surface with subtle micro-texturing for exceptional precision during competitive gameplay.
Available in two exclusive artist editions, this mousepad merges elite performance with collectible-grade aesthetics, making it one of the most unique glass pads available today.
Why the MURAKUMO Glass Mousepad Stands Out
Balanced Glide + Precision Control
Most glass mousepads are known for extremely fast glide, often too fast for players who rely on micro-adjustments or controlled tracking. MURAKUMO solves this by using a textured glass surface with micro-roughness engineered to provide:
- Smooth, consistent glide across the entire surface
- More stopping power than standard glass pads
- Reliable micro-corrections for FPS titles like Valorant, Apex Legends, and CS2
This balance makes MURAKUMO an excellent choice for gamers transitioning from cloth or hybrid pads.
Exclusive Artist Editions
coalowl × MURAKUMO
Following the success of the coalowl collaboration on the KAGERO cloth mousepad, this edition features the artist’s signature minimal-yet-expressive aesthetic printed directly onto the glass.
Zinkai × MURAKUMO
This edition showcases Zinkai’s distinct ink-wash style, giving the glass surface an elegant, hand-crafted feel, perfect for players who want performance and artistry on their desk.
The artwork on each edition is integrated in a way that maintains the mousepad’s tracking accuracy and sensor consistency, so you don’t have to choose between style and performance.
Key Features & Specifications

If you’re switching from cloth, expect a short learning curve, but one that rewards consistency, speed, and refined muscle memory.
Why Choose a Glass Gaming Mousepad?
Glass mousepads continue to grow in popularity because they offer advantages that cloth pads simply can’t match:
1. Ultra-Consistent Glide
Glass doesn’t wear out or develop “slow spots” over time. You get the same surface feel every single day – ideal for players who rely on consistent muscle memory.
2. Long-Term Durability
No fraying edges. No compressed foam. No surface deterioration. With proper care, a glass pad can last for years.
3. Enhanced Tracking for Modern Sensors
Modern gaming sensors track extremely well on uniform hard surfaces, giving you:
- More predictable motion
- True input response
- Less surface variation interfering with accuracy
4. Easy Maintenance
Dust, sweat, or oil on the surface? Just wipe it down with a soft cloth, no deep cleaning required.
Who Is MURAKUMO Best For?
This mousepad is ideal for:
- FPS players who use large arm movements or mixed wrist/arm aiming
- Gamers wanting both speed and precise stopping power
- Players tired of cloth pads wearing down or changing glide over time
- Users looking for a premium, aesthetic desk upgrade
- Collectors who appreciate artist collaborations and limited designs
Setup Tips & Best Practices
- Use PTFE or hard skates for the smoothest performance
- Clean the surface regularly with a microfiber cloth to remove dust and debris
- Make sure your mouse feet are clean to avoid scratchy feeling or inconsistent glide
- Give yourself 1–2 sessions to adjust if this is your first glass pad
- Pair with a padded desk mat or ergonomic setup if you want extra wrist comfort
