Func Custom U-Seris and C-Series Pads - fUnc U-Series Ultra-Thin Pad

U-Series First Impressions:

While the U-Series pad is super thin, it doesn't not come rolled up as did the C-Series pad and this pad has more of a hard-surface feel to it.  It comes in the fUnc F10.s or F30.r finishes so if you like a nice rough pad, you're in luck.  I prefer the smooth surface and was very happy to receive the F10.s version.  This pad came with another couple of pads from fUnc and at first glance, I didn't even think it was a mouse pad.  It is branded with a "Super Reviewer" graphic in the middle, and I assumed that it was some sort of promotional material.  It is as thin as a laminated poster so I assumed that is what it was.  Proudly I displayed in at BCCHardware HQ, until fUnc asked me if I received all three pads in good shape.  I replied that I'd only received two, until the nice lady explained that the "Super Reviewer" unit was a custom U-Series pad they made to send out to review sites.  That little mix-up made me feel . . . special.

 
U-Series Profile

This pad is pretty much the same size as the C-Series cloth pad and in fact is positioned directly on top of the C-Series bad in the picture above.  

U-Series Print & Texture

F10.s Texture

Even though this is a "hard" surfaced pad it is still pretty comfortable because it is smooth and extremely thin.  It isn't the same soft feeling on your arm and wrist as the C-Series, but it is still very comfortable to use.  It has a nice slick feel to it and mouse movement is very fluid and fast.  It stays in place thanks to the little adhesive pads that fUnc includes in this bundle.
