Customers say
Customers like the glide, ease of cleaning, and quality of the mouse pad. They mention it’s extremely smooth, offers enough traction to maintain sufficient control, and is easy to dust off. Some also like the speed and comfort. However, some customers have reported that the mousepad frays like crazy, the edging just torn up, and the stitching tears easily. They also dislike the build quality and have different opinions on its durability.

The best desk/mouse mat available.
I’ve purchased 2 of these mats after growing tired of cloth mats. The first lasted 2 years before I replaced it unnecessarily, and the current one is going on 2 year and 2 months. I’m about to order another replacement for reasons listed below.Unlike cloth mats, these have incredible oil and fluid resistance. I’ve spilled water, beer, and cocktails on these and they barely soak in and can be easily cleaned with damp paper towels. They dry quickly and don’t retain moisture for long. Additionally, they don’t catch or cling to oil from your hands/wrists, and while it may appear that they “scratch” easily, all it takes is a damp paper towel to get them looking new.My only gripe is with the stitching along the border of the surface and the silicone base, which does begin to fray over time depending where you place the most pressure on – in my case, the bottom of the mat as that’s where my wrists wrest on. I don’t know why other reviewers show the surface peeling away from the silicone base so dramatically over a day of use when none of mine have peeled over the course of 2 years, but the stitching does begin to show fray within a few months – which, being nylon stitching, just requires a second or two of burning it off with a lighter. Not once has the surface bubbled or separate off the mat.As for feel, I have no complaints with my G502, but I’m also a rare breed who doesn’t believe your mouse or mousepad has any effect on your ability to play a video game. My mouse glides just fine over the surface and doesn’t catch or feel abrasive. It’s actually a massive improvement over cloth pads – the only thing that can top this is aluminum and good luck finding anything aluminum in this size.I have a great disdain for cloth mats as they absorb literally everything, are too soft, and while cheap, I’d rather have something that lasts years rather than replace every 6 months, and in the off-chance you spill food or drink on it, won’t absorb and fester bacteria.Bottom line, this is the one product Mad Catz has manufactured and QA/QC’d correctly, because my only memory of them prior was being handed one of their trash controllers by a friend in middle school to play Halo.Oh, and it looks nice as long as you keep it clean. With a damp paper towel. Pretty simple.

Amazing PREMIUM mouse pad for the price
After using my Glorious Mousepad (L) for almost 3 years, I decided I wanted to upgrade. That’s when the search for the perfect mouse pad started. I wanted a mouse pad that was fast but with control. A pad that was easily cleaned and was very durable. I wanted a pad that would give me more mouse space but not take up too much space. That’s when I found this pad. I bought the 19-inch version.Features:There are 3 big selling points to this pad.1). Completely water-resistanceThe mouse pad is completely water resistant allowing for very easy cleaning. I’ve tested this and anticipate this mouse will last a long time due to this.2). Fast surface while still providing lots of control for your mouse.The surface is made out of some sort of hybrid material which feels like a weird combination of cloth and hard mousepad. It doesn’t irritate my wrists and my Logitech G Pro Wireless glides across smoothly.3). Lack of stitched edges.Instead of stitched edges, the edges have been heated so they don’t fray. I love this design as it does not disrupt your mouse at the edge and also does not irritate your wrists.Aside from those big points, the base is silicone (easy to clean) and does not move on my (polished) wood table. The mouse pad is almost as fast as a hard pad, such as the Glorious Helios, yet retains the flexibility of a cloth pad. I think the best way to sum this all up is by calling this a premium pad as it is priced at 25$ for a large and 60$ for the extended version.Pros:- Easy to clean- Very fast while maintaining control- Water-resistant- Heated edges instead of stitched edges- Size is good as it provides enough mouse space but some may want moreCons:- On the heavier side when compared to cloth pads- 2 logos both on the top left and right**** Ill update with more pros/cons as I use this pad more ****Who would I recommend this to?Gamers who want a fast and durable pad.As for casual use, some people may not like the speed and logo of the pad. I would personally use it for casual use but others may not. Know that you are paying for a premium pad!Some other mouse pads to consider:Aurous AMP 500 ~$40ASUS Scabbard ~$40-50Artisan Raiden ~$40 (31+9 SHIPPING) – Note: I highly recommend buying off of the official website: Artisan-Jp.com as there are many fakes being sold.For non-hybrid pads:QCK Classic/Glorious Mousepads for a balance of control and fastZowie-GSR for slow and controlled

The glue holding the outer layer of the pad started to loosen where i am resting my wrist from day 3(note that it’s just where i rest my right wrist on my left it has not loosened) it looks like air bubbles other than then that i think the muse pad is fantastic, i guess i was just unlucky but still i have to leave only 3 stars for the malfunction.

(Using Largest Size)This is the best mousepad I’ve used. It’s got a nice semi-hard surface that is also textured sort of like leather. The bottom of the pad is like a soft rubber that sticks to my desk nicely and only moves if you forcibly push it, it wont move while you use it. As for the feel with a mouse, I’m using the Logitech G502 and it works well. It’s a few years old so the pads underneath aren’t the best right now but it feels fast with the pad while allowing good control. The mouse pad is also really thin so you barely notice it when your arms rest on the edge of it. One really nice thing about this, is that it’s water proof so you can easily scrub it with water to clean if it gets dirty or sticky. It’s one of the main reasons I got this. The size is also perfect, if you have a pretty big desk this will work well, you can fit a full sized keyboard on it and still have decent room for mouse movement. If you’re a keyboard enthusiast and care about the acoustics and sound of your keyboard, it dampens ping and reverb well too. Overall it’s a solid mouse pad for the price, especially the large size. Worth a buy.

Am Anfang war ich begeistert, weil meine Maus quasi über dem Mauspad flog und sich mega leicht angefühlt hat.Doch nach grade mal 8 Monaten und vielleicht 200 Spielstunden am Pc hat sich die obere Schicht von der unteren gelöst.Ich war nach den ersten 2 Monaten schon sehr skeptisch, da im unteren Bereich also an der Tischkante sich Fäden angefangen zu lösen haben, die die Schichten zusammen hält.Der Rest ist Kleber zwischen dem Mauspad.Also haben sich mitten im Mauspad und an den Seiten Blasen gebildet.Die Blasen wurden immer gröÃer und der Laser meiner Maus hat daher nicht mehr richtig funktioniert.Bin für so einen astronomischen Preis ziemlich traurig, über einer so kurzen lebigkeit des Anfangs doch so genialen Mauspads. Am liebsten hätte ich mein Geld zurück.
