I have used this mousepad for the past 3 years at my work and it is a good simple mousepad. It does slide a little bit on my smooth laminated wood desk but not too much. The black surface on the top does become white from my skin particles over time so I clean the mousepad every 2-3 months or so. The material does get worn where I rest my wrist so note that. Not as sturdy or good as my Razer Goliathus that I use at home as that mousepad especially doesn't slide.
My original mousepad was over five years old and did not work anymore. So we bought this package with two in it and put it right on the desk and went to work. The other desk pad went in the file cabinet until some one needs it.
