PC Gamer Magazine "Does a precision mousing surface make a difference?...if you're putting your ass on the line every night in multiplay, you want all the help you can get, and the sUrface1030 Archetype is the best mousing surface money can buy"

The Adrenaline Vault "Func Industries is with out a doubt the king of the market with the Archtype mouse pads and the F-Series style surfaces. I really enjoy using these pads on a day to day bases and this just isn’t me, but every person that I talked to and have them try out the Archtype and the F-Series there first reaction is “ Wow this mouse pad is outstanding!” or “Where can I buy one of these?” With a brilliant product line and a must have for anyone I have to give this a 5 out of 5 stars and a S.O.E."

Rojak Pot "...we put it through the paces and it worked great no matter what we threw at it. Overall, Func Industries did a great job with the new Archetype. It had a great package, great features and great performance."

HarwareReview "The Archetype really is a huge improvement from the original Surface1030. Gamers wanted a larger gaming surface and better materials used to make the mousing surfaces and fUnc didn't disappoint. I commend them for developing one of the best mousing surfaces available today..."

CyberwizardPit "The results are out, and as astonishing they may seem, the Func sUrface 1030 Archetype passed nearly everything thrown at it save the kitchen sink - and emerged with flying colours at that. Func has something big on its hands with the Archetype, which has proven itself as a worthy successor in the 1030 line of mousing surfaces."

MaximumCPU "This is a quality pad, and a great value. The reversible surface is a great idea, and the base is solid. The inclusion of the case, case badge and cord clip are another reason why you get it all for 30 bucks. "

MVKTech "Design and craftsmanship give the end user the absolute best in quality and performance. Gamers will love the dual surfaces for amazing accuracy and tracking for that most demanding frag fest. The sUrface1030™ Archetype is absolutely amazing and will offer the entry level or hard core professional gamer the tools needed to beat the competition. Tracking, control and performance is second to none and will reign supreme in its domain for a long time to come."

IGN "20% larger than the previous gaming mouse pad of choice...it works beautifully with optical and laser mice...the Archetype [is] the pad of choice for gamers, and anyone else who wants only the finest of mousing traction."

The Moditory "Excellent tracking, dual surfaces to suit anyone and provide different responses, solid no-slip base, a cord clip, and a price that won't leave you high and dry...Whatever you do on the PC, the Archetype will help you do it better. The Func Industries Archetype 1030 sUrface receives our Gold Award and Editors Choice award."

Houston Vehicles "...the Func sUrface Archetype 1030 mouse pad gets a kudo in the form of a 5 out of 5. Quite simply, if you want to be competitive, you want to rack up kills, don’t even think you’re going to be half as successful at it as the next guy who is using the Func sUrface Archetype 1030, you’re going to get smoked."

Tech-Mods.net "It is hard to improve on a great design but Func has done just that by redesigning the 1030 into the 1030 Archetype, that provides better feel and more natural shape for today’s gamers. The new clip and redesigned surface makes even today’s high speed laser mice a welcome addition to any gamer’s arsenal."

Extensive Mods "The Surface 1030 Archetype is a fine gaming surface deserving of a fine rating, thus, I am compelled to present Archetype with a 10/10"
