I bought this because I Mouse Pad little Mouse with its rough surface (which is very noisy) was suffering. When it was delivered, I was surprised at first how big the pad really is. It has a fine (comfortable) surface and a rubber coating which makes it very slippery. Now I have more than enough space for my mouse across the mouse pad to slip (which is also pretty quiet). Together with my mouse and keyboard, it is also unobtrusive. Due to the fabric surface, the pad dirty unfortunately quite quickly, one can but simply wash briefly with water and dry for half an hour and then use immediately on. Absolute buy recommendation!
