The only drawback: Smell

+ Processing properly, ideal pad of sufficient size
+ No sharp edges, soft fabric
+ Material adapts perfectly to the desk, no slides, no waves
- Strong unpleasant odor (by airing 36 hours in the open air, but vanished)
- White printed logo (approximately 9.5 cm x 2.5 cm) can not be detached

Looking for a large, simple, black mouse pad with no unpleasant odor (have a very sensitive nose and sensitive for acrid fumes respiratory tract), I came across the Lioncast Phobos Black Edition. Comparable models I have because of reviews that complain about strong artificial smell avoided. Unfortunately, this mouse pad smells very unpleasant when you take it out of the package. I have it then hung a half days for airing in the wind. This helped immensely. While the mouse pad smells still easy when you close up leads his nose, but the smell is not noticeable in normal working distance and transmits fortunately also when not working on the hands, forearms or clothing. Unfortunately, the mouse pad as seen in the figure comes with an approximately 9.5 cm x 2.5 cm big white brand logo, which can not be detached. With black Edding the imprint can, however, easily make inconspicuous when needed.
