Reflex Lab Mouse Pad/Mat, (White) Stitched Edges, Waterproof, Ultra Thick 3mm, Silky Smooth - 9"x8" Mousepad

I bought the XXXL version of the Mouse Pad/Mat (which I just call a "Desktop Surface" since it takes up the full 36" length & all but 4" of the width on the long side of the L-Shaped Desk it's on). It has so far exceeded my expectations & I like it better than the Xtrac Pads Ripper XXL surface that this has replaced. When I opened the plastic wrap, there was no chemical smell, which was nice. Also, it didn't take long, maybe two hours, to flatten out & all I did was lay my phone on one corner & the accessories box for my Roccat Nyth on the other corner with a desk lamp in the middle. Nothing was needed for the other end. I attribute this to the fact that the mat was not rolled tightly in the plastic wrapping, but instead was rolled gently, like a yoga mat, instead of how most mouse pads are rolled: very tightly with a final diameter of 2" or less. The final diameter was 4" or 4.5" I can't remember which.In the interest of fairness & full disclosure, the Ripper XXL was the older version without the stitched edges, so it's not a direct product comparison, however that was my second Ripper XXL, the first one having lasted about 5 years & surviving a move, two desk changes & being subjected to a few stretching feline claw punctures. Which means it's safe to say that I intended to purchase the updated Ripper XXL with the edge stitching but was turned off by the $32 price tag as well as the understanding that the surface, which strikes a compromise between smooth/fast & precision movements makes it what one might call a "medium texturing" requires some maintenance for the best performance. I would usually end up using a lint roller at least once a week to go over it & every 2-3 weeks I would have to take a slightly damp microfiber cloth to it.If this doesn't seem like much, consider this: I use a wrist rest with my rat & don't rest my arm directly on the surface. Instead, I have a black cloth napkin folded into a square which I place my forearm on. it's basically to protect the surface from the detrimental effects of human skin & oils, extending the life of the pad & likewise prevent extended contact/friction with the surface from irritating my skin, particularly at the raw edges. The napkin gets laundered regularly.The Reflex Lab XXXL Desktop Surface, by contrast, has wonderfully stitched edges in my favorite color, Blue, and the surface is quite supple. The term used in the marketing of this product is "silky smooth" & I find that to be an appropriate, accurate description. On several occasions I found that my protective napkin had shifted away from my arm, leaving my skin to contact the surface of the pad. Zero irritation to my skin. Likewise, my rat enjoys smoother gliding/skating & the very small brand logo is unobtrusive & looks, for a lack of a better description, to be "baked in" between layers. To put it another way: it's not a silk-screened logo that will eventually start to flake off to the point where your mild OCD compels you to remove it completely & have to take a hand-held vacuum to the surface yet still be haunted by the remaining ghostly outline. Until you rotate it so you don't see it. ;-OAll in all, I think this Desktop Surface will hold up for at least as long as the Ripper XXL did, if not longer. To maximize the usable life, have some suggestions.When stuff eventually does get on the surface, I wipe it off with a cloth instead of a hand (I usually do that with the napkin, which I still use save for the times when it occasionally drifts). Less to catch on the fabric & much gentler.To that point, I wipe it off regularly with a soft cloth, but I'm yet to have to use a damp cloth & I've had it about a month.I don't eat on it.I try not to set anything abrasive or rough directly on it.If I must lay one of my knives on my desk, it goes on the napkin every time. If it's my Benchmade, I make sure to close it 100% of the time, cause I know it'll go right through down to the glass if it slides off the napkin. There's a scar on the Xtrac Pad to attest to that fact, the "skin" of which is being of a tougher texture than the Reflex Lab's.

My god, this thing is LONG. It’s what I expected of course, but you don’t realize its length until you see it in person. It’s a high quality mousepad for the price, comfortable on the wrists and great for, well, using a mouse on it. I wish it was a bit taller but overall, I’m satisfied with my purchase!

This Mouse Pad is amazing, and the list of features above don't lie. One reviews has said the size may vary, however even if this is the case, three quarters of an inch shorter is hardly noticeable, especially if you've never used an extended mouse pad before. The picture I am posting has a Mainstay Writing Table as my desk, and an Azio L70 Levetron along with a Redragon M903 Origin Mouse, so for sizing purposes that will help.Quality: The entire pad screams Quality, even if the current price of the products from Reflex lab are 20 or less. It's plush and soft enough to double as a very nice to touch and rub wrist rest as you game or write or whatever, and thick enough and heavy enough for the rubber base, which is very nice, to keep this thing on your desk during even the most strenuous of working conditions, except the ones where you throw things up, of course. It's smoother and silk to the touch, and my mouse, even with slightly scratched up Teflon feet, glides over this thing, and it feels much better than a Razer Goliathus, at least in my opinion. Some people have different tastes after all.Size: I got the Pro 36 red trim version, so it's fairly large, as you can see from my picture, and I don't need a single inch more of room for my desk for this thing, it's perfect for a wide armed gaming setup. Unless you have it to where you stretch your arms nearly completely to the side of you, no single mouse pad will ever be large enough then. period.Overall: The price doesn't bother me, but for the sale I got it at, for 20 bucks, this thing is amazing, and I would gladly buy this thing again, even at full price. The trim is excellent, well done, and unless you intentionally try to tear it it's not coming off. The only thing I don't like about the pad is the lining hitting my lower arm when I have my keyboard further up the table, the trim kind of itches after awhile, but that's just because I don't have a computer chair with arm rests, and I tend to have lazy arms. if you're properly sitting with proper arm rests and have proper posture, this pad won't itch at all, in fact the plush soft top feels so good that any itch I get I can lay it on the top and it will disappear. This thing is one of a kind, especially with the gamer cared for logo on the top left. Unless you are left handed, you won't be going over this thing, and even if you are left handed, the logo is imprinted as a part of the pad, meaning the mouse will gladly glide over it.Whether you like Razer, Logitech, Glorious PC gamer race, or others, whether you like cloth or hard surface pads, this pad is an amazing product that has exceptional quality care, feel, and even machine washable for a great price. I would highly recommend giving this a try, especially if you were like me who is only just looking into higher quality pads. Extended or not, the Reflex Lab pads are amazing, and large enough for your needs. If you're looking for a replacement for your old pad, as good as it was or not, or you're just looking into getting a new pad that isn't a ten dollar cheapo from Walmart, this is one contender you really need to see to believe, and to try out.

So I purchased this giant mouse pad after deciding that I no longer wanted my white-on-black-threading, coffee-stained mat. After putting this mouse pad on my desk I immediately was impressed by how clean and smooth it both looked and felt! Though I will admit the only blemish I saw was a barely noticeable white scuff not even 3mm wide near bottom-left corner of the pad.The thickness of the mouse pad feels amazing under my arms, like I have a soft cushion keeping them warm above my granite desk.The white stitching looks well done and just as shimmery as the black mat itself. Nothing that will bother your eyes or reflect light. It just has a very nice and smooth sheen. The white stitching on mine is so sheeny it almost looks like it’s made up of white LEDs from nearby and afar. Really cool!The 30-something dollars I paid was well worth it. I hope to have this mouse pad for the next few years!

Good quality product worth the money 👍

Perfect size pad for a low senser

Remember no matter how you maintain something you use all the time, it will fail/need maintenance(esp. if you sweat or you shed skin cells a lot) best to go with the best quality at the most cost effective price so you don't feel bad when it gets too grimy and you want to replace it with a new one. This extended mouse pad is it. Bought it to go over the G Powerplay charging pad, perfect size, charges my G502 Wireless no problem, supports my Apex Pro keyboard just fine with my Grifiti wrist pad no slipping. Also have done the clean test as well. dropped some food on it (cheesy sauce) and it came off no problem with no left over marks. 10 stars, Very comfortable, no sharp edges, best bang for your buck. Just buy it if the dimensions fit for your application. Cheers.Revised: Upon further use I did find my G502 Skipping. Have purchased another brand and seems to be doing the job. I suggest if you have a decent sensor on your mouse you'll want something more "fine grade fabric" to prevent skipping. Cheers.

me gusto su diseño simple y limpio, la base que se apoya en el escritorio es como un silicon que evita que se resbale, y es fácil de limpiar con un trapo húmedo

Very impressed with the thickness of the mat. It is not a plush feel where your hand would sink into the fabric, but rather a solid feel with bounce back when you pinch it. Silky smooth for gaming.
