Proximat 35" Basic Slate & 48" VR eSports VR Mat Review

- Enjoy my Proximat Basic Slate & VR eSports VR Mat Review. These mats retail from $19.95 for the 23" Basic Slate Mat directly from Proximat here → bit.ly/proximatoqp or from Amazon here → amzn.to/3HXvFMi.
In this video, I’ll be looking at two VR floor mats from Proximat. The first is their Basic Slate mat. It is a clean and simple VR mat, and it comes with some of the same main features as their more standard line of VR mats.
The material is made from a soft anti-fatigue rubberised foam material, that is at a thickness that isn’t too thick to be able to roll it up and stow it away when it isn’t in use, and it’s not too thin to not protect your feet and knees during many hours in VR.
Its non-porous surface makes it easy to wipe up any sweat from a VR fitness session or should it ever become dirty. You can buy it in two circular sizes, a smaller sized 23-inches, and the one you see in this video, which is the bigger of the two, at 35-inches.
Its low profile will not make it so much of a trip hazard, just as long as it's sitting flat on the surface and it isn’t curled up at the edges from being rolled up. Even when it is, you can still use the mat on both sides, thanks to having its two protruding buttons that stick out from the foam material.
There is one large button in the middle of the mat. This makes it easy to centralise yourself on the mat without having to look for it. It’s made from thick plastic, so even if you’re playing in shoes, you should be able to feel the difference. This makes it a little tough to walk on when playing in socks or bare feet, but you don’t have to stand directly on it, and it’s a nice way to keep you centred on the mat.
On the outer edge is a smaller button, made from the same plastic material. This button helps to orientate you to a position in the real world. This is ideal for streaming or if you want to always face the same direction whilst in VR. You might have a piece of furniture, shelf, or even friends or family watching you in the same room, and having a way of keeping your swaying arms away from them by making you focus in a certain direction can be a very handy way to avoid any nasty accidents.
I found the 35-inch basic slate mat a very good size, and in most games I rarely found myself coming off the mat, and if I did, it was easy to find my way back on the mat and back to the centre of it, thanks to its raised guide buttons.
The second mat is the Leaderboard VR Esports Edition. It’s aimed at anyone with a larger VR space, should you need a little more freedom of movement, or if you wish to use the mat for VR esports or for commercial use.
It measures 48-inches square, and it features a much greater number of guide buttons. There is one large button in the centre, with four smaller buttons near the outside of each corner. Directly ahead there is a small button, followed by a large button just after it. All of the raised buttons play their part in keeping you within the mat. I rarely found myself leaving the mat without knowing about it, either by stepping on to one of the buttons or feeling the mat stop under my feet. In doing so, I found it easy to return back to the mat and find my way back without looking through the gaps on my headset and keeping myself immersed in the games I was playing.

Good review, and nice interior design.
Thanks 🙏🏻 😊
Cool video! I followed your link. Got the 42,” it was the last one at Amazon. hopefully they’ll have more in stock soon.
Awesome 👏🏻 that’s a big one. I hope you enjoy it when it arrives.
been looking into getting one
Choices are slim. This is a good one. 👍🏻
Good review! Prices aren’t bad either!
Thank you 🙏🏻 Yes the price is decent for the quality and what you get as a dedicated VR mat.
I'm just hoping to get it soon.
Awesome. Which one did you go for?
@@OQPlay the 48" eSports VR mat.
@@rashaadlawson4537 awesome. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it when it arrives 🙌🏻
Can you use the leaderboard mat on a carpet without ruining the carpet?
I’m sure you can. It’s only rubber and there’s little sticking out the bottom of it. So I can’t see how it could ruin a carpet.
@@OQPlay Thank you for your response. The reason I was asking was because the site that sells the mat says that the mat slides a little on carpet. To prevent the sliding they include Velcro hooks. Do you know about the Velcro hooks? If so how do they work and do they pull on the carpet?
I’m sure they are like little a plastic spikes that dig into the carpet. I’d say if it’s a short pile carpet it may slide but not that much. On a deeper carpet I would think it would sink into it (it’s heavy) and shouldn’t slide around that much. Unless you’re on it daily for hours, I wouldn’t worry too much about damaging the carpet. Worst case you take them off and go without the spikes. Unless your sliding around on it I can’t see it moving much under your feet. The mat is huge!!
Only been 3 weeks and the price of the 35" is now $55 lmao
That’s a shame. I think cost of manufacturing and shipping has increased so that has a knock on effect on the overall prices. 😔
@Oculus Quest Play yeah definitely sucks, I would've got one at the $20/$30 price but I'm not paying $50-60 lol
@@VulcanEditing maybe try their direct shop instead. Still looks cheaper from there and better shipping for you if you’re in the US
@Oculus Quest Play oh yeah their direct site has much better prices! And more options
Lol 57$ shipping tax ill pass on this
Yeah shipping is a deal breaker for some
Lol womp womp
