I buy this carpet primarily to test the effect it would have on my desk. And I must say I'm impressed, its look is awesome, his touch pleasant, the pins are very convenient to securely hold the keyboard, it is easy to clean and resists quite malmenage. In short, I am very far from being unhappy with my purchase and dailleurs I could not do without mouse pad / keyboard and moreover it gives another mouth to his office. Great and I recommend it, especially when we see that it almost the same price as a conventional mouse pad.
