Hello I had read all the reviews before buying this mouse pad. I do not understand how some people can write that skiing is good. Either these people have never used a mouse pad worthy of the name or it is not the same product. Therefore, The product is beautiful. Looks like leather. White slightly broken. ... But skiing is not good. I keep it because I did not want to return it etc. but I wanted to share my appreciation. Last thing: I have a laser mouse (Microsoft M510) and I do not see any particular concerns about the use of it.
