My mouse is a Logitech G700, before I had the Mouse Sharkoon 1337th
What I first noticed the same: Both Control and speed surface are extremely fast, but I got used to it very quickly. What I did as expected in my Sharkoon not hard, but at least on the control side of the surface. This makes the mouse grinding noises, which could be bothersome.
What positively stands out is the very low for a mouse pad with aluminum core height.
The palm rest I will not probably be used as lost by not resting arm much control.
To design Needless to say not much, it looks exactly as shown in the pictures.
