AmazonBasics Large Extended Gaming Computer Reviews Summary

Quality and Material

Pros:

• "Nice no-frills mousepad... this one is the exact same quality for half the price."
• "Provides a very firm and not too rough surface to work on."
• "The material this is made out of it a very nice and high quality cloth that is very comfortable to use for a long time."
• "The pad is generously sized, lays perfectly flat out of the box, is a nice flat black color, does not move or shift around, and was priced fairly."
• "The fabric seems to be pretty high quality and I don't think it'll rip anytime soon."
• "This pad feels substantial and is easy to wipe clean."
• "Both devices work flawlessly on the pad, and the pad stays in place on the very smooth glass surface of my desktop."

Cons:

• "But it leaves a very strong rubber odor on my hands and on my mouse."
• "It gets dirty really easy and can't clean it."
• "The edges began to peel off and it started to lose its shape."
• "The surface roughness changed on one side of the mousepad within just a few weeks, which ultimately resulted in a different sensitivity and overall feel."
• "Is visually polluted by that garish AmazonBasics boner logo."
• "The edges are rough and tend to dig into your skin which is uncomfortable."
• "The corner fabric separated from the foam after less than a year of frequent use."

Size and Design

Pros:

• "I purchased the extended one so that my keyboard has a nice place to be."
• "This wide PAD covers, Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor as well."
• "This is just enough bigger that he no longer has to lift his mouse up and reposition it like he had to do before."
• "Big enough for me to get everywhere on my screen by only going halfway across the mouse pad at 500DPI."
• "This thing is massive and I love it!"
• "Terrific mouse pad, the mouse never runs off the pad, gone are the days of small mousepads."
• "It's actually great to be able to move my mouse around without lifting it and replacing it because it was falling off a mousepad."

Cons:

• "There is no stitching on the edge, so it starts rolling up on the edge."
• "It came rolled up in its packaging and the end of pad has never flattened out."
• "The product that came was 92x45 cm, which is too big."
• "It's more of a square than a rectangle, which causes problems because you can't have your keyboard next to it without being half on/off."
• "The standard size of this mouse pad is too big."
• "Reducing 1 star due to incorrect product dimensions!"
• "It isn't sewn edges and I'm sure will fray over a short period of time."

Usability and Functionality

Pros:

• "If you're in a dusty area, the dust usually wipes off very easily."
• "Great portable gaming mouse pad for me."
• "Easy to clean (washing machine friendly)."
• "Another great perk of this mouse pad is that it is the perfect material to decorate."
• "It's smooth so it's nice to move your mouse on it."
• "The mouse slides effortless over the pad and it doesn’t slide all over my desk when my games get a little frantic and heated."
• "The top surface allows the mouse to glide smoothly."

Cons:

• "This pad WILL NOT WORK with ANY of my three optical mice."
• "The cursor would not track properly on the screen."
• "The mouse pad is too thin, causing my Logitech device to not track well on it."
• "Makes my steelseries rival mouse glitch out, do a 270 and spin to the ceiling or floor when I'm moving my mouse across the pad."
• "You really have to try many times to get to the point you want on screen."
• "After two months the edge started to curl up."
• "However, it does NOT last. It's already peeling on the corner and sides and it has not been through much at all."

Value and Price

Pros:

• "Highly Durable - Easily Washable - Multiple Usages - Average Priced - HUGE!"
• "It's also a great value because it's inexpensive and does everything you need in a mousepad."
• "I’m honestly stunned that you have such nice quality for the price you pay."
• "Comparatively this is probably the cheapest extended mouse pad I could find, but it is extremely good."
• "For 7 bucks of 1 square foot of mouse pad real estate it's a great price."
• "Identical to the fancy 'gaming' mouse pads, but less expensive."
• "At this price, it is a steal."

Cons:

• "I would definitely stay away from this product and look for a different brand."
• "I don’t expect it to last too long since I’ve planned to use it a lot for gaming!"
• "You will spend more money on this cheap mouse pad by having to replace it than you would have had you just bought a good quality mouse pad made in the USA."
• "It should be priced more around the 10-12$ point and not upwards near 20$."
• "You'd be better off spending $1 or $2 more dollars to get something that is stitched."
• "This mouse pad is definitely not a high quality product and probably will not have a long lifespan for the price I paid."
• "This is a nice savings if it doesn't trip your mouse out but buyer beware."
