Our review
The MM700 RGB Extended is the only lit mat of this comparison, with a configurable RGB border and an extended format that fits keyboard and mouse on the same surface. In exchange it must stay plugged into USB-C at all times, and costs 129 EUR, several times the price of the Logitech Desk Mat. Its two-year warranty is unique in the category, for a 4.4/5 over 3,100 reviews.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Corsair MM700 RGB Extended have RGB backlighting?
Yes, the mat has RGB backlighting. Power goes through a USB-C port. The effect mostly shows in a dark room, and it adds a wire to an accessory that would otherwise need none. At 129 euros, that is the premium to accept.
Is the Corsair MM700 RGB Extended suitable for long daily use?
That depends on your habits. The manufacturer makes no specific ergonomics claim and it offers no adjustment, which counts over full days at the desk. Its 4.4/5 score across 3,100 Amazon reviews gives a sense of how it feels in daily use. A mat is judged on its surface and on how the edges hold up.
What warranty comes with the Corsair MM700 RGB Extended?
Corsair quotes 2 years of warranty on this model. That is the standard duration for this kind of product. Set against the 129 euro price, that duration sets how long the manufacturer stays committed, a criterion that often separates two desk mats that look alike on paper.
Is the Corsair MM700 RGB Extended worth 129 euros?
