Frankly I have never invested so much for a mouse pad, let alone ever thought of it. But the money, it is absolutely worth it. You can tell frankly only what one has of a Mouse, if you have it. For years I have managed without, and never had any problems. I now do not, however, feel that moving the mouse over the mouse pad is simply unique. The build quality is impeccable, traces can be seen by now is approximately 1 month no. The fixation is great, although I must admit that I have to re-align it anyway after several hours of intensive use. Bother me because just now a few millimeters) But without proper adhesive can no longer reach just one. The precision of the mouse (Roccat Kone XTD) is felt far better than before and the riding sensation is awesome. Certainly an expensive business but is absolutely worth the money!
