For years I have been using just a normal little black square mouse pad but I recently got a new 60x30 flexispot desk and wanted a larger mouse pad.I decided to go with this desk/mouse pad and I’m so happy I did! It’s the perfect size and I absolutely love the color with my bamboo desktop. It is so much better than your standard mousepad and I feel like it just elevates my desk area. I accidentally got some of my drink on it one day but it wiped right off and left no stains which is amazing! The top material is nice with a little bit of texture but still smooth enough where it doesn’t mess up my mouse movements. The bottom is so soft and feels protective for your desk. The stitching and sides of this desk pad look incredibly well made and even as well. The thickness of it is also nice as it’s not too thick to where it feels odd but not too thin to where it feels cheap, it’s just perfect!I will say if you do get it just be careful of indents. My keyboard has the little riser stands in the back and I noticed they left marks but my keyboard is also quite a bit heavier than your standard one so it may not be a concern. I included a picture of this just to show.Overall I love this desk pad and would highly recommend getting it if you’re looking for something sleek and cozy but also protective and well-made :)
