I have the mouse pad both privately and at work in operation and was able to test with more than 5 different optical mice there. Sliding resistance is minimal and noise significantly lower than directly on the table, the scanning precision. The dimensions are optimal for my needs, I use it on edge generally. A secure grip on the underside of the pad stays securely in place. Very positive I feel the low height.
The initial smell (rubber), I have to confirm, unfortunately, but this fades after a few weeks.
