Two types of stitched edges: the difference no one explains
When a brand advertises "stitched edges," it can mean two very different things:
- Surface stitching: the thread is visible and tangible on the top
- Under-surface stitching: the thread passes underneath, leaving the surface perfectly smooth
At The Master Piece, all our mats use under-surface stitching. This is a technical choice, not a marketing ploy.
The Problem of Surface Stitching
On most mats on the market, the stitching is done on the top. Results:
- A palpable ridge on the edges that you feel under your wrist
- A dead zone of 3 to 5 mm unusable (the stitching snags the mouse)
- The stitching can come undone by pulling on the fabric
Sub-surface stitching: our standard across the entire range
All our models benefit from this technique:
- Vortex — subsurface stitching + Poron MID base
- ZX1 Black and ZX1 White — subsurface stitching + Poron Soft base
- JX2 White Flames — subsurface stitching + Poron Soft base
- JX2 Red Flames — subsurface stitching
- JX1 ProControl — subsurface stitching
- WIRO LIKEFAC — subsurface stitching
The Tangible Benefits
- 100% usable surface right to the edge — zero dead zones
- No edge sensation under the wrist during gameplay
- Increased durability: stitching is not exposed to friction
- Clean and professional look on all our models
