This is a trendy mouse pads, big enough (20 x 22.7 cm), very flexible. The support is textured rubber that adheres well to the stability and the top is covered with a smooth jersey fabric to facilitate sliding the mouse. I use it with an optical mouse and it works really well. I find the very elegant black color (it goes well with my keyboard). My old carpet was similar in construction and the lower edge is detached from the base very quickly, but after two months of use, this mouse pad is like new. A simple but great buy.
