The pad is soft and super joint filing for writing on the PC. On the bottom there is a non-slip rubber / plastic layer, which prevents you can move it in any form. For the price of good quality, although the processing is not the highest level. But as I said, for the price it's perfectly OK. The only thing you really have to criticize is the penetrating plastic / chemical smell at first. After 2 days, airing this is however largely gone and after a week in use you can smell nothing. I can recommend this without hesitation, on the long-term durability, I can at the moment to say anything yet.
