Coalowl's art was the main reason I picked up the Kagero—its design instantly caught my eye. For me, knowing the artist behind the work adds even more value.
The surface is decent but not remarkable. It’s slightly rougher than the original Saturn, likely due to how the Kagero’s design is printed. It has a standard rubber base, similar to the G-SR-SE.
It comes rolled up, so you’ll need to give it some time to flatten. I didn’t want to wait, so I rolled it in the opposite direction, which caused some minor creasing. Fortunately, the creases didn’t affect the overall experience with the Kagero.
At $35, the coalowl x AIM1 Kagero is a budget-friendly control mousepad. Its large 500x500mm size is a major plus.
This mousepad was initially meant to be a limited release, but it's unclear if they restocked or just had leftover units from the pre-order.
The coalowl x AIM1 Kagero is a solid pick for those who prioritize aesthetics. If you want a visually striking mousepad and don’t mind a more standard feel, it’s worth considering.
To conclude, I'm more than happy to support a talented artist like
