Cmhoo XXL Gaming Mouse Pad Extended Large Size 80x40cm - Non-Slip Rubber Base, Smooth Surface for PC, Laptop, Office & Esports Gaming Setup

... the Prime Meridian is in the wrong location! The Prime Meridian passes through London not somewhere in Ireland.Do itI worried a little that the picture was going to be less representative of the pictures in the description. It just got here and I have nothing but good things to say. I bought the American flag mat. This is exactly what it looked like on screen. It lays perfectly flat right out of the box. No worries there. It's heavy neoprene with a good rubber grip on the bottom so it doesn't slide at all. I also worried that the seam around the edge might bug me rubbing against my wrist. Again, no worries. It's thinner than I expected and the seam is bound tightly but feels fine against my wrist. Not scratchy like I thought it might be. As for the rubber smell giving some people headaches? I don't know who these people are. Wash it I guess if it's too irritating. It smells new. I like it.So basically everything I worried about since this is an inexpensive option compared to some of the mats I first found, everything I worried might disappoint me, didn't. Perfectly happy with it.Now, stuff I didn't realize. I bought this because my optical mouse has worn the finish off my work desk and is now reading inconsistently as I drag it around. It's really annoying when you're trying to edit across four monitors and the cursor keeps getting hung up as you go back and forth from window to window. I tried two different mice with the same issue. It was my desk. I hate mouse pads. They're never big enough and I just didn't want one. I wondered if maybe I could get a plastic mat like for model building and cutting or something and ran across this style of product. It seemed like a great idea. Why not have a giant mouse pad? Well here's the best part about this thing, Not only does my mouse now track perfectly across all four monitors with a smoothness and precision I didn't have before, but it's also silenced the clicking sound of my dumb mouse scraping the surface of the desk. It's comfortable on my wrists. It's quiet. And It's a big old American Flag that goes with the style I've got going on in my edit bay set up in a concrete basement. It's excellent. I'd recommend it to anyone considering it. Buy with confidence. Totally worth it. Wish I'd bought it sooner. If you have a desktop workstation, you need a desk mat. Just get it. You're welcome.I use this as my every day desk mat. And I mean, I'm using it every day. It rests under my keyboard and mouse. I use it as a work surface. I plop my lunch on it. I've spilled water, soda, coffee, food, snacks... it's seen it's share of messes. It cleans up really well. No stains, even after all that.It sits right at the front edge of my desk. I rest my arms on it, and the edging has not become tattered.The quality in craftsmanship is amazing. I will probably continue to use this for at least 2-3 more years, unless I do something stupid to break it. I'll probably be purchasing another that I can use at my small parts work table, because it a soft, but flat surface - tiny parts are easy to get, they don't roll / slide around easily, and it keeps the sound down too! No clunks :DEven if you don't game, I highly suggest getting one... or more!update: I've had this for years. I've abused it, used it, cleaned it... I rest my wrist on the edge (mouse hand), seams and surface are still like new - its still in fantastic condition!I bought this item yesterday, and I do like it very much. I like how big it is, I can fit my keyboard on it and have plenty of room for my mouse, it's heavy and sturdy, and while I wish the printing on the map was a bit less fuzzy, I imagine it isn't easy to print text on fabric.However.... it smells. HORRIBLY. It has an extremely strong chemical/rubber smell that actually gave me quite a bad headache after only an hour. So I removed it from my desk, and sprayed it with Febreeze fabric freshener, hung it outside, even sprayed it with perfume, and nothing has diminished the smell so far. I can only hope that the smell fades, because I would very much like to be able to use it without having a migraine!I'm not certain if it is washable, I didn't see anything in the description about it being able to be machine washed... so didn't want to try that. I'm hoping the smell will fade away.Update after nearly 3 years: This mouse pad was quite nice, for a time. After about 6 months the edges where my wrists lie began to fray. Then the backing began to melt and stick to my desk, leaving a very sticky, tar, rubber residue that was extremely difficult to remove (Goo-Be-Gone helped, but it's still there, under the mouse pad.) I turned it upside down so the sticky melted backing area was at the top with the frayed edges, but now the bottom (formerly top) is also frayed with the backing melting. For the price, I can't say it wasn't worth it, however I will NOT be re-purchasing this mouse pad because the smell took literally moths to dissipate. I think it was at least 6 weeks before I could bear to use it at all, and over 3 months before the smell seemed to be gone completely. That is really unacceptable to me, as someone sensitive to smells. I am now on the lookout for one that does not smell this badly, and won't melt all over my desk, ruining it.Just love this mouse pad because of its size and looks. It covers the area where I work and the mouse works very well on this pad. I love it!Like it serves as a mat. AND it’s a map. Two amazing things in one. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in a chat room on the world wide internets, when someone said they were a Nigerian prince and they wanted to give me money. And i was like, “where that be?” Now I can just look downThe product totally satisfied meJust received this - Looks awesome on the desk. Nice and grippy on the bottom (no more pad slips while gaming), and good solid build.Good size for my, although is actually only 39cm wide, so my country has fallen off the edge of the world. Capitalized county names containing a "G" have been replaced with "Q" - e.g. ALQERIA and MONQOLIA. The red line in the middle of the pad (I guess) is supposed to represent GMT 0 hour, but actually shows GMT -1.I find these things hilarious, and it's a great mouse pad, so will be holding on to this gem.Additional bonus misspelling: "South Pacific Coean"I got this solely because when you're dealing with a lot of camera equipment on a hard wooden desk, it makes a lot of noise. This makes things much quieter! Definitely make sure to measure your space first because this is pretty big. It really deadens the sound of putting things down on my desk, and it's pretty good as a mouse pad, too!The print is poor. The image fades out to the top and bottom of the mat, so that anything north of UK or south of South Africa is too faint to see - including the key, scale, and most of the labels. The projection and cropping mean that Antarctica is not shown. The text is too blurry to read. The big red UTC line is an odd design choice.However, it seems to function well as a mouse mat, and is a nice surface to rest your wrists on.Ok so it would be great for its intended prepose but I'm using it to reduce console vibration noise and it looks nice and it does this realy well .Anyone who has extended memory will know the clunking noise made by them them this reduces it.Amazing design, I loved it! It is perfect in my gaming area.The quality is very nice and for such a low price its almost a "must have" accessory. You can find gaming mouse mats of the same size from known brands like Razer and Steelseries, but honestly the design of this one was one of the nicest I seen. 5 stars indeed!
