New, more compact version launched.
Stockholm, Sweden, April 23, 2010, For immediate release
QPAD, the Swedish company famed for it’s premium gaming gear, today announced the release of a new Heaton mouse pad.
“The feedback I got from the first release has been extremely positive. The one thing people have requested is the same quality feeling in a smaller size. So making a QPAD HeatoN in a smaller size felt like the obvious next step. It’s smaller but still big. ” - Says Emil “HeatoN” Christenssen.
“Internaly we have been joking about customers having to check in the HeatoN pad at airports. Now we can provide the same HeatoN pad that you can bring with you in your carry-on luggage”. Says QPAD president Christer Körnbäck.
