3M Precise Mouse Pad Enhances the Precision of Optical Mice at Fast Speeds and Extends the Battery Life of Wireless Mice up to 50%, 9 in x 8 in (MP114-BSD1)

The short story is this is a very good product. The only reason why I did not give it 5 stars is because of the design and color. If it came in a more subdued color like black then it would definitely get 5 stars. I ordered my first one about a month ago and since then I have ordered four more because I was so pleased with the quality and performance. The mouse smoothly glides on the surface unlike any other mouse pad I have ever had and Ive had a lot. As for whether this product extends the life of your battery, that is to be determined. Even if it does not help with battery life the glide performance is worth every penny. The size is not too small or large. The back of the pad has high quality rubber to prevent the pad from moving around on your table. Other than the color, this is the perfect pad. It should be noted I am extremely critical of products and can easily find a weakness in any product. I can not find any in this one. I give this product a definite buy recommendation. You will be definitely happy.

I agree with other reviewers on the good points of waterproof, mobile, thin-but-flexible and a good texture for my mouse... ...but I am a gamer with limited desk space. I use my mouse to move and target imaginary things. A lot. I may well be switching back to a fabric mousepad soon, or just buying another one of these to wear out all over again, depending, because the "pad" is made of a fairly soft, gently textured plastic with a printed pattern underneath. What happens when you rub something repeatedly in the same spot with, say, the bottom of your mouse as you maneuver it around the pad..? Polish happens. Polished plastic, to be precise, bright and shiny, glossy, reflecting my optical mouses cursor all over the screen, exactly the way the surface the pad was bought to cover used to do. Its a good product, and really, if I had paid attention to the logic of, "if its flexible enough to peel off of a desk and move, it HAS to be soft plastic," going in, I would have known in advance that it would be likely to happen within a few months of use. Its my own fault for blindly expecting something the material itself cant do. Ive been trying to switch up angles, move where the mouse rests, etc., but my space for that is swiftly diminishing. The fact that its so nice and portably small means there really isnt that much room for doing so to begin with. :)

Excellent product! The bottom of this mousepad smells like hard plastic/rubber, but is not noticeable where I have it placed. The mouse I use is a Logitech M510 wireless mouse and i do not have noises made by the mousepad when i move the mouse - some people complained about the noise of the mouse moving on the mousepad, but i have no problems with that. Also, the mouse is stable and the mouse does not move on the screen when I leave the mouse on the pad. I do not know if it saves battery life - Only time will tell. I knocked-off one star, because the mousepad tends to move a bit when I move the mouse with my hand. The bottom of the mousepad has a shiny coating and it slips when I move the mouse. Other than this problem, I have no other complaints with this mousepad. If you are sensitive to harsh smells, DO NOT BUY THIS MOUSEPAD. The package it came in SMELLS of hard plastic/rubber and also the bottom of the mousepad smells too.
