There are a couple design choices of this pad that personally turned me off. One is the rubber backing of the pad; this thing has made its way across my entire desk at this point. The rubber does not stick to the table well at all and can move very easily with little force. The branding position is also another thing that made no sense to me. The logo is like a rubber print stamped onto the pad, and your mouse will slow down enormously if it glides over it. I was confused as to why they would have it in the top right corner instead of having it at the bottom corners, which is a much less common area you’d use when playing, and as to why they would choose to stamp it as something that would interfere with how you play. Not to mention the branding is the laziest crap I’ve ever seen anyways. The quality of the mousepad overall is great, there’s no denying that. Texture is nice, sponge is soft but your mouse doesn’t sink in, stitched edges are small and aren’t much higher than the pad itself, Good speed without sacrificing much control/stopping power. The pad isn’t bad at all, but it’s like they focused so much on the quality of the pad that they forgot to make good design choices.
