Blue Big Gaming Mouse Pad Mat, Stitched Edges, Waterproof, Ultra Thick 5mm, Silky Smooth-15”x11” Mousepad

This mousepad was exactly what I was looking for when I bought it back in mid-2018. Thick enough to be comfortable on a hard surface, while also not being so thick that it strains your wrist. I do prefer my mousepads to be roughly twice as thick as this one, but as detailed below that's one of the reasons I chose this thin mousepad due to some other circumstances of my particular computer use area.Aside from my unusual setup which required me to make some small modifications to the mousepad, this mousepad has been performing flawlessly for a little less than 5 1/2 years now, but I am now in need of a new one, and I'll be buying the same exact one I bought in 2018, the "standard 8"x9" mousepad".The modifications I made include fabricating a stiff backing out of 1/4" plywood, and then affixing the mousepad to the backing at the corners by using some screws I had lying around from when I was much younger and disassembled appliances to figure out how they work (I'm sure you could find screws that would work at a hardware store, probably some sort of screw designed for attaching handles to cabinet doors and things like that).The reason I needed this stiff backing is because I use my computer while laying on my bed bed most of the time, and my mouse ends up beside me on the bed instead of on a desk. My bed is pushed right up against my desk, the monitor is mounted up high to the wall behind the desk, and I lay on my bed cross-wise with a pile of pillows to prop me up so I can see my monitor, you might think it's weird, but it's extremely comfortable for very long sessions of using the computer, every day, and I don't even have any back or neck problems which surprised my mother.That brings me to the one tiny little problem I have with this mousepad. It's the rubber backing.If you are going to use this mousepad in the repair bay of an auto shop, it might not last as long as mine has, and that's because the rubber backing material they use is not oil resistant.I discovered this because I accidentally dripped some sub sauce on this mousepad, and I thought I cleaned it up rather well, but I didn't put it in the washing machine because I didn't want the stitching on the edges to unravel.Sub sauce is basically Italian "oil and vinegar" dressing, but used on a sub sandwich, and I thought I had cleaned it off well enough that I didn't have to put it in the washing machine, but I guess it turns out that's where the problems began.I will say that it did take a rather long time for the rubber backing to degrade to the point that I'm starting to have issues with the mousepad not providing good tracking in certain spots for my mouse anymore, but the point remains that you should keep oil as far away from this mousepad as possible, and if you DO get oil on it, you should machine wash it promptly to prevent the rubber backing from degrading. As for washing instructions, I don't know if it came with those or not, but I'm going to guess that you should probably only use cold water and no bleach, unsure about using podded detergents, and as for the cycle my gut feeling says you probably want to go as gentle as possible on a mousepad and do NOT put it in the dryer at all, instead hang it up outside if the weather is suitable (or hang it up inside in the shower or tub so it can drip-dry and air dry if the weather's bad or it's winter like it is for me right now).To be perfectly honest, I blame myself for being lazy when taking care of this mousepad, rather than blaming the product for not being oil resistant. If I had to guess, oil-resistant foam rubber that would provide otherwise similar material properties to the material currently used on the backing of this mousepad is probably more expensive than whatever kind of rubber it is already using, and that's reason enough to not use it, because really most people wouldn't expect oil to be near a mousepad in the first place. Additionally, an oil-resistant mousepad would probably be an extremely niche product at best, and therefore not worth producing.Like I said, I hold myself at fault for the failure of this mousepad. I'll be taking better care of the 2nd one.

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.

Best mouse pad I have ever used! Silky smoooooth. 15" x 11" is a great size; it's nice and large but far from taking up my whole desk. It's big enough that I rest my wrist right on it so it winds up acting as a wrist rest too (so thick and luxurious). I have a vertical mouse and a standard mouse. Both fit on the mouse pad at the same time allowing me to switch back and forth as I feel symptoms of repetitive stress set in. Edges are finished nicely. Rubber backing is great. I am VERY SENSITIVE to smells, and this one does not have a chemical odor. It smells of natural rubber (just like my old-fashioned rubber water bottle); I'm OK with that as this type of smell does not give me a headache like chemical odors do. I will be buying some of these for my gamer friends. I wish my desk were big enough for the larger size (36" x 12"). If I get a bigger desk, I will be getting the bigger pad, too. Thanks, Reflex Lab! A+++!Edit: the rubber smell got to be a bit much, so I'm off-gassing the mouse pad in my garage. I have it hanging on a pants hangar in an open window in my garage so the sun can get to it. I had to do the same thing with a wrist rest that I bought for my keyboard. No big deal, but it is a minor inconvenience. This mouse pad will be worth the wait.
