Yes: the AULA MP-XL's Speed-type fabric suits a fast, light mouse like the SC900 MAX. DPI and polling set how finely and how often the mouse reports; the surface sets glide and stopping. At 62g with its battery, the SC900 MAX moves easily on it.
Big numbers on a mouse box, 30,000 DPI and 8000Hz, make it tempting to think the pad underneath needs special credentials too. It does not work that way. Sensitivity and report rate live inside the mouse; the surface decides how the mouse glides and stops. Pairing a speed mouse pad like the AULA MP-XL with the AULA SC900 MAX is about feel, and the two suit each other well.
Yes. The MP-XL's Speed-type polyester fabric, R129 at Evetech, suits a light, fast mouse like the R749 SC900 MAX. DPI and polling decide how finely and how often the mouse reports movement, while the pad decides how easily it glides and how quickly it stops. At 62g with its battery, the SC900 MAX moves with little effort on a Speed surface.
It helps to separate the three things people lump together.
DPI is how far the cursor travels for a given hand movement. The SC900 MAX runs six steps: 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400 and 30,000. A short press of the button on its underside cycles through them, and the indicator colour changes with each step, from red at 400 to cyan at the top setting. The pad plays no part in choosing any of those.
Polling is the number of position updates per second that the mouse sends to the computer. The SC900 MAX ships at 1000Hz; a software setting lifts it to 8000Hz over the 2.4GHz receiver or the cable. Bluetooth stays at 125Hz. Again, nothing to do with the surface.
Tracking is where the pad matters. The sensor reads the texture under it, so a surface needs an even, consistent weave to be read cleanly at any DPI. AULA rates the MP-XL for optical and laser sensors, and describes its Speed-type fabric as built for consistent tracking.
Cloth pads broadly fall into two camps.
Neither is better across the board; it depends on your style. What makes the pairing here work is weight. A 62g mouse does not need extra friction to stop, because there is little mass to carry forward. On a Speed weave it starts and stops easily, and the glide rewards the lightness instead of fighting it.
The MP-XL measures 900 x 400 x 3mm, large enough for a full keyboard and a mouse on one surface. Put a 65% or 75% keyboard at one end and the mouse keeps well over half the width, which suits players at low DPI who move the whole arm. Players at higher DPI will barely cover a corner of it, but they still gain a consistent surface under the keyboard hand as well.
The anti-slip rubber base stops the pad sliding during quick swipes, and stitched edges keep the border from fraying where your wrist drags. It rolls up for transport and flattens again.
A few steps get the most out of the pairing:

No. DPI is set in the mouse. The pad only needs an even surface the sensor can read.
With a very light mouse it usually feels quick rather than slippery. If you prefer more stopping power, a control surface is the alternative.
No. Polling is how often the mouse reports to the PC, whatever it sits on.
The indicator light changes colour for each step, from red at 400 to cyan at 30,000.
Not if a keyboard shares it. With a board at one end, the mouse still gets a long run.
