The finish of the carpet is rather good, with a large stitching the edges of the mat, which prevents it from curling, or curl at the wrist slides on it. It perfectly cling to the surface on which it is made, and its thickness absolutely no discomfort, thanks to the famous rounded stitching. The glide is perfect in my opinion neither too slippery nor too strong. The mouse does not make noise when gliding over the carpet like on the plastic surface. Finally the size corresponding to a small sheet A4 is just right for small areas. With a laptop that's perfect.
