Got myself in combination with a Razer Copperhead this board and have to say that I am very enthusiastic. The mouse glides over it, as if it would fly. The size is slightly gewöhnugsbedürftig because it is very large yet, but in my opinion not a shortcoming .The surface is very granular and thus the mice are scanning (Optical + Laser, in my case laser) the surface very precisely, with the Bonus of rapid acceleration. Both combined features of FPS's (First Person Shooter) or RPG from (Role-Playing-Game) gaming and other categories. In graphic design, the precision of the plate makes clearly visible. I can not say anything negative, my mouse scans also this from the Red / White Eye. The only shortcoming of the board is the tongue which is attached to the right upper side. It is not needed and is relatively bulky, when one has a slightly smaller read / computer table, but this is very easy to retouch.
Conclusion: Perfect for precise and fast mouse movements, both in gaming and the graphic design, for both optical and laser mice ideally suited. However, you need a certain amount of space for the plate. Super price / performance ratio. Strong buy recommendation from me.
