 Welcome to an on-location unboxing of the Funk Surface 1030 XL. We're actually in the middle of our production set for our video about the making of the Funk M3S gaming mouse. So we figured since we have a few M3S's, because we have to do some funky stuff with them, we can unbox that later. But this one, since we gotta open it, we might as well unbox it now. So this is, if you guys don't know Funk, it's probably because you haven't been on the gaming scene for long enough. Because Funk mouse pads have been around for a super long time. I have an ancient Funk pad that's still running on my in-law's computer. Still tracks perfectly like the day I got it. It's a soft one. Anyway, this is the original dual-sided mouse surface concept. Yes, Funk's claim to fame was their old dual-sided mouse pads where they had a smooth side on one side and a rough side on the other side. So if you like it smooth, then you can do that. If you like it rough, then you can do that too. Large tracking area, large rubber feet. This is the XL version. So there is a large version. So this is extra large. As you can tell from the box, it's quite large. It's about one line of body width in height. And then about, I don't know, two, whatever of those is in length. So let's not worry too much about that. Let's open this bad boy up. All started in 1999 in sunny California. A bunch of passionate gamers and friends got fed up with computer gear not cutting it. After the successful launch of the Surface 1030, the archetype was introduced to the market. So there's a little bit of history of Funk. And don't be fooled into thinking performance can be heightened by adding more features rather than perfecting core functions. So here is a piece of foam over top of it that protects the mouse pad itself. Here is... Oh, OK, get a Funk Insider account. You can be a beta tester and all kinds of interesting neat stuff like that. Cool. Here's a little pull tab so you can open it up and get the mouse pad. It's a nice little velvety thing that it sits on. The packaging is outstanding. This is some of the best packaging I think I've seen on a mouse pad. So the original dual sided mouse pad, large rubber feet on the bottom. Check that out. Oh, those are nice. Those are like super... OK, it's hard to make my point of how grippy they are, but why don't I just try putting it on a surface and then moving a mouse on top of it and showing that it's not going to move at all. So there, I think I've made my point now. And then this must be the rough side. So it's got a bit of a texture to it. OK, and then the smooth side. See? You can hear that's a very different noise. So there's two little tabs here so that you can pop out the mouse pad and change it on a whim. So you just pop it out from there. And I think that's pretty much everything else there is to say about it. It has a two year warranty. And thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the Funk Surface 1030 XL.
