Note the pad is exaggerated heat and pressure sensitive! I often eat at the desk and now I have all of my soup bowl ring imprints on my pad! Even a cup of tea leaves do not go as quickly clear the way, the pad now looks just yet hässlig out with all the footprints, what I buy as a pad if I can put up anything? Even my keyboard which is obviously not warm or hot leaves deep impressions in the mat. Granted dirt is easily removed, but I'm still disappointed. Who wants to eat at your desk so you should look for another base. And since I find the review here much too high, I only give 1 star.
