I'm not sure what they are making these pads out of but they really smell and burn my eyes and nose. The pad itself does the job it was intended for. I am concerned about the chemicals in the product.
It works great they are cheap so they can be replaced without thinking of the cost. Why buy an expensive one who cares what it looks like as long as it works with the mouse!
This is a no frills mousepad when it comes to looks but as good as any other mousepad -- maybe better -- at any price. It'd be worth triple the price; at the ridiculous [$] it's a steal. Buy several. It's superb.
