Size and Fit

• "Size is more than expected could easily place my keyboard, mouse and laptop easily."
• "I love the large size -- why did I not get one of these years ago!?"

Cons:

• "This mouse pad was a little bigger than I thought, and it feels a little flimsy because of it."
• "After over a month it still won't lay flat."

Material and Comfort

Pros:

• "The top fabric is responsive to my older optical mice and newer laser mice."
• "It feels soft and comfortable against my skin."
• "Its a soft style mouse pad, so it reduces the wear on mouse feet."

Cons:

• "And they are really hard and they scratch your wrists because it is very rough."
• "But the surface is very abrasive, like moving my mouse/hand over sand paper."
• "The edges are a little rough if you rub your arm against them."
• "The bottom edges under my wrist and forearm feels sharp."
• "The edges look nice but are actually very sharp, so they either hurt your arms or make them feel itchy."
• "The main issue I have is that the edges of it are rough and uncomfortable."
• "The edges of the mouse pad are sharp."

Durability and Maintenance

Pros:

• "The rest of the top surface is still in good shape but showing signs of wear."
• "The product is made of thick material, does not dry up or leave rubber residue like cheap rubber mouse pads."
• "The material is very durable."
• "So far all of the ones that I purchased have lasted a very long time."
• "I've had this product for almost two years, using it at the office for many hours per day, and so far there's been no damage and it's quite durable."
• "I bought the standard size in January of 2020 and have used it pretty much daily, for work and gaming."
• "The pad is thick and sturdy."

Cons:

• "Okay for an inexpensive mouse pad on the 'cheap'... but difficult to keep it clean and the top surface becomes rather 'nappy' way too quick."
• "Buyer beware, this mousepad is junk!"
• "My biggest issue after almost a year is the edge peeling, where the fabric is separating from the base."
• "Very hard to clean. There are much better options available for less than 300 INR."
• "Also cleaning isn't very convenient for a pad of this size, hard to get dirt out after it gets older and older."
• "After washing this 4-5 times over these 2 years, now the entire mat is split into two - the bottom rubber layer and the top soft material layer."
• "The only problem is that fabric already started peeling off."
