The AIMPAD Numata Zombie!? Edition is a glass mousepad created so you don't have to compromise on either art or gaming performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eNumata Zombie!? × AIMPAD\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA unique world hidden behind vibrant colors and cuteness. \u003cbr\u003eWe have printed the work drawn specifically for this model onto the inside of the glass using high-definition UV printing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur focus was not just on reproducing fine lines. We wanted vibrant colors to stay vibrant, and delicate colors to retain their subtlety. By combining highly transparent glass with high-precision UV printing, we have brought out the colors and intricate details of the artwork as much as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the printed surface is on the inside of the glass, it will not come into direct contact with your mouse or arms while you play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're using it on your desk or propping it up for display, this is an AIMPAD you can enjoy as a work of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eARTIST — Numata Zombie!?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn illustrator who depicts cute, macabre, and grotesque motifs with a unique sensibility.\u003cbr\u003eHeld his first solo exhibition \"CHIMERA\" in Shibuya in 2023. He also creates impressive work in the music and art scenes, including the music video for Ado's \"Gira Gira\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this piece, we have captured the distinct cuteness of Numata Zombie!? and the underlying sense of unease it carries on a glass mousepad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWe didn't include a logo.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany glass mousepads feature the brand's logo. As a brand, I think that is perfectly natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven so, for this AIMPAD, we decided not to include our brand logo on the glass surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe felt that when you place this pad on your desk, what should be there is not the assertion of a brand, but rather the work of Numata Zombie!? and your own workspace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe copyright notice required for the work is included. However, we felt there was no need for AIMPAD to bring anything beyond that into the artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than asserting who made the product, we want you to just enjoy the art you love.\u003cbr\u003eAIMPAD creates products for that exact purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFast. Yet, easy to stop.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this AIMPAD, our goal wasn't simply \"speed.\"\u003cbr\u003eWe wanted a surface that feels light at the start of a movement and smooth during rapid direction changes, yet allows for a natural, precise stop exactly where you intend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt strikes a balance between speed and stopping power.\u003cbr\u003eWe fine-tuned the gliding surface to offer the effortless agility typical of modern high-speed glass pads, while ensuring it remains easy to control without requiring excessive hand pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom minute tracking adjustments to large-scale flicks...\u003cbr\u003eRather than catering to a single specific playstyle, we designed the surface to be accessible and intuitive for a wide range of FPS players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gliding surface features a finish that retains the inherent smoothness of glass while offering a subtle, tactile texture. This provides delicate feedback to your hand as you move the mouse, allowing you to actively sense and control its movement rather than just letting it glide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eThe choice of a non-coated finish.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AIMPAD gliding surface does not rely on a coating to achieve its feel; instead, the surface texture is created by directly processing the glass itself—a non-coated design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis approach leverages the inherent durability of glass, eliminating concerns about changes in glide performance caused by coating wear.\u003cbr\u003eBecause this is a device used daily, we chose a design that allows you to enjoy that initial feel for as long as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eNot too thick, but not too thin either.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this AIMPAD, we’ve used 2mm-thick aluminosilicate glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the development phase, we actually tested even thinner glass options: less than 1mm, 1mm, and 1.5mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThinner glass reduces the height difference from the desk and allows for a lighter weight.\u003cbr\u003eHowever, as we repeated prototyping, we identified other challenges arising from making the glass thinner, such as warping, edge finishing, and stability when placed on the desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat’s why we chose 2mm for this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the constraints of a 2mm thickness, we finished the edges with a curve even gentler than standard 2.5D processing.\u003cbr\u003eThis makes the edges less noticeable even when moving your arms widely, while still avoiding making the pad unnecessarily thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the base, we’ve adopted a 1mm-thick silicone base that adheres firmly to the desk. Combined with the 2mm glass, the total thickness is 3mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThinness, comfort against the arms, weight, and stability when placed on the desk.\u003cbr\u003eWe arrived at this thickness after carefully balancing all of these factors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eEven the time spent not playing becomes art.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is one more reason why we chose 2mm glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe hope that those who appreciate the illustrations by Numata Zombie!? will enjoy displaying the product as a piece of art, rather than simply using it as a mousepad.\u003cbr\u003eGlass that is too thin can warp over time, especially if left standing upright for long periods. Therefore, we opted for a 2mm thickness; this strikes a balance, maintaining a profile that is easy to handle on your desk while offering greater resistance to warping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse it as a piece of gaming gear when you play, and as art when you aren't.\u003cbr\u003eThis thickness allows you to enjoy it both ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSPEC\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 490 × 420 mm\u003cbr\u003eThickness: 3 mm (2 mm glass + 1 mm silicone base)\u003cbr\u003eWeight: Approx. 1.21 kg\u003cbr\u003eShipping Weight: Estimated at approx. 2.2–2.3 kg\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Aluminosilicate glass \/ Silicone base\u003cbr\u003eSurface Hardness: 9H\u003cbr\u003ePrinting: High-resolution UV printing (on the inner side of the glass)\u003cbr\u003eSliding Surface: Uncoated\u003cbr\u003eEdges: Rounded edges that are gentler than standard 2.5D processing\u003cbr\u003eAccessories: Original illustration sticker by Numata Zombie!? \/ Mouse feet \/ Cleaning cloth\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: China\u003cbr\u003eJAN Code: 4589621260223\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Surface hardness 9H is an indicator of the hardness of the glass surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBefore Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease remove any dust or dirt from the desk surface before installation.\u003cbr\u003eAfter placing the mouse pad, press down lightly on it to expel any air trapped between the pad and the desk; this allows the silicone base to adhere firmly, ensuring greater stability during use.\u003cbr\u003eAs this is a glass product, it is shipped in specialized packaging designed to prevent damage during transit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePRE-ORDER — 1st Drop\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-order period: October 1 (Thu) – October 26 (Mon), 2026\u003cbr\u003eScheduled delivery: Late January 2027\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pre-order marks the \"1st Drop\" for this design.\u003cbr\u003eFull payment is required at the time of ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternational shipping is available via FedEx.
