I don’t think anyone’s called him “the pinnacle of surface performance, innovation, and style” before, but Towelie is the subject of SteelSeries’ latest crossover collab. The South Park collection spans two editions of the QcK Cloth mouse pad, with the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 Wireless receiving its own towelin’ as well. He looks a little less… relaxed… than typically seen in more recent seasons – but this is still everyone’s favorite “worst character ever.”
I don’t know about you, but there’s something about having this downtrodden fella on my desk everyday that brings me joy. Mouse pads really do take a beating, but this is one resilient towel – I can’t think of a better place for him in a setup.

His little smiling face, those innocent eyebrows, who knew a towel printed onto a mouse pad could be so adorable. The SteelSeries x South Park collection uses the QcK Cloth (L) mouse pad as its base, with a $29.99 MSRP in the US and £29.99 RRP in the UK.
Honestly, that mouse pad is my main take away from this crossover. If you’re keen to kit out your entire setup with the whole gang, though, there’s plenty more where that came from.
The QcK mouse pad has also been outfitted with all four boys, while the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 (already available in a handy lilac edition) has had a few extra coats of paint to match Towelie as well.

This isn’t just a cheap pad with South Park’s heroes printed on it. The SteelSeries QcK Cloth scored five stars in our review. It’s been around a little while, and has been joined by the QcK Performance line since launch, but it’s still widely regarded as one of the best in the business. It helps maintain pinpoint accuracy with a smooth surface and high threadcount while offering an easy-to-clean top liner as well.
Then we have the premium offering, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 in full Towelie regalia. This is one of the best gaming headsets we’ve tested so far, offering excellent versatility and value particularly for console players. It maintains that high-end audio quality the brand is known for (via the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless and Arctis Nova Omni) but still manages to keep its price fair for a wireless headset.
Its app is one of my favorite features, though it’s slightly annoying that there’s no direct EQ controls in here. Many may prefer the freedom of a ten-band slider, but the Arctis app has more casual listeners covered with a collection of over 300 per-game presets developed by developers and engineers.
$159.99 is slightly more than you’d normally expect to pay, though. A typical black or white version comes in at $149.99 at MSRP, but it’s rarely that expensive these days. As an older release, you’re typically looking at between $105 and $130 on this one. That’s without that extra license, of course.
