The pad comes bundled in a cardboard tube, but out of the box was curled up from the seen to be no trace. The pad itself is nice and flat, so no annoying high edge is present, yet is very stable (it moves on my desk a millimeter). Use the mouse pad in conjunction with a G500s, which works just fine. The mouse slides very smoothly over the pad. The size (28x34cm) is quite sufficient.
Strong buy recommendation from my side, I would pick this mousepad at any time.
