The mouse pad is very thin, the surface slightly corrugated. The mouse (I'm working with an ordinary wireless mouse) glides very well and quickly. You can perform very precise, better than on my old pad that is covered with felt.
The back is a kind of adhesive coated (similar to adhesive labels). Thus the pad sticks well on smooth surfaces (table, laptop case); it can be removed without residue and reattached at a different location. I doubt, however, that the adhesive force is maintained for long if you remove the pad regularly and aufklebt again at another location. Alternatively, one could also permanently attach the mouse pad at a certain place on the desk, but why would you do that? I at least occasionally wipe off the desk and verrutsche the keyboard like a bit so as not always to sit in exactly the same position and to write. A firmly glued Mousepad would be there only an obstacle. So really convenient I do not find this adhesive solution therefore. Slightly irritated, I am also of the offer, to refer the mouse pad in monthly subscription. My old Mousepad I use for many years and do not intend, to me every month to buy a new one. I suppose that the adhesive backing actually not too long holding the pad and therefore only a limited time can be used. Why should so make a mousepad for disposable items, do not open up to me.
After I tried the self-adhesive function and (for me) was found to be useless, I have attached the original attached contact paper again. Now the bottom is, however, so smooth that the pad constantly slipping on the table back and forth - that's not really handy also. Despite the good surface I will therefore return to my old Mousepad again.
