Belkin Standard 8-Inch by 9-Inch Computer Mouse Pad with Neoprene Backing and Jersey Surface (Black) (F8E089-BLK)

Comment

Very lightweight but otherwise not bad for a $2 mouse pad. Except that this came packaged in the worst way possible, using the type youd pack a book in. If it were the only item it would be fine. But there were two other odd sized items, and this was doubled over among them. So theres now a permanent crease in it, even when forced flat you can feel it through the mouse. One of those things thats not really worth dealing with. My primary aggravation comes in realizing theres someone that takes such little care with their job.

The Belkin 8"x9" Mouse Pad (Black) is a decent mouse pad. It isnt anything extravagant, and doesnt have any fancy designs on it, but it definitely works like it is supposed to. The underside is pure rubber/silicon and there is a felt/soft layer on the top side. It does smell very heavily of rubber when you first take it out of the packaging, and that smell continues for a while until it airs out. After it airs out, the smell really only comes back when you move the mouse pad around or pick it up and expose the bottom side. It was extremely strong at first, enough to give me a headache, but it has improved greatly since then. Overall, it is a decent mouse pad, that does the job and doesnt cause any catching on the mouse.

Just like the dog on our hard-laminate floor, the mouse skitters across the surface, making lots of noise, and not being at all sedate. OK, an explanation: This mouse pad has a hard surface rather than the typical fabric upper surface. As you move the mouse across the surface, the mouse feet make noise - not much, but in my very quiet environment, it is noticeable, and is almost as irritating as chalk on a chalkboard. (But who, that uses computers, even remembers chalkboards?) Also, apparently because the surface is slightly reflective, the mouse cursor accelerates across the screen rather more quickly than I would expect. That is easily solved by turning down the mouse sensitivity in the Windows settings. I quit using it, and purchased a pad with a fabric upper surface. Im sure I will need to replace the fabric-surface pad more often that the hard-surface pad, but I will live with that.

I bought this to replace my aging, disgusting mouse pad Ive been using for several years. Pros: Thickness - The pad is about 3/16" thick. Its a nice comfy height and feels a little more squishy than my previous Its really black - Like totally black. So black. I like black. Cons: Smells like Thors thong. Seriously. I opened the bag and my apartment just began to ooze eau de Thor Thong. I let it air out for a couple days and now it only makes my wrist smell when I use it. Conclusion - Great mouse pad, strong scent. Would buy again.

Hope my review & feedback of this product along with the pictures I will post will help a few fellow Amazon shoppers: QUALITY? 8/10 ~ When you first open up the package it strongly smells like plastic. But after a few days it goes away. The quality is nice. It does the job. Its not too rough or annoying and my computer mouse moves around with no problem on it. Though it gets dirty a little too fast because the material used to make this sort of absorbs dirt and dust and since the color is black its really noticeable. Its still super worth it considering how cheap it is though. SIZE? 10/10 ~ Big enough. I do video editing and I also do computer gaming. When you game you need to move the mouse all over the place but thanks to the decent size of this thing I never had problems. PRICE? 10/10 ~ The price is honestly a joke. Its so cheap not event he dollar store would be able to beat it. And it comes with free shipping as an option? No way? Id buy this thing 10 times over and still be happy with it. Other online or local stores sell these things for like $15 - $20! Check out the pictures I will also include: feel free to ask me any questions / let me know if my review was helpful to you

Have no complaints about this mouse pad. First of all, it is very inexpensive. Secondly, I prefer mouse pads that are a bit on the hefty side. Most mouse pads tend to slip on my desk, but weightier ones stand their ground better. This mouse pad is fairly thick and has a bit of weight to it. So far, it hasnt moved an inch on my desk. The backside is non-slip neoprene and the front has a cloth cover. Both feel great. One other plus is that the mouse pad did not have a rubber smell out of the package, though that may have been just luck. Overall, I am totally satisfied with this mouse pad and would order it again if I were ever to need a another one.

MX 518 died and bought a G502 to replace it. My old mouse pad was one of the hard types and the "grip" that held it onto the desk wore away after 10+ years of use so I decided to ditch it. Wanted something cheap in case I didnt like it. Got this guy and am more than happy. Am looking into getting one of the larger ones that also goes under the keyboard but for the time being in my limited desk space, this is more than enough for now.

Its hard to tell from the details of this product what you are going to get, so let me describe it for you: The surface is a plastic laminate with very light texture to it. A typical plastic mousepad without this light texture actually adds to the friction because you increase the surface area between what your mouse touches and the pad itself. By adding a light texture, you decrease the surface area and thus the friction is reduced. I was looking for a low friction mouse pad that had no graphics on it. Some optical mice do not track well (i.e. Jumpy Mouse Syndrome) because there are images and repeated patterns on the mousepad itself. This pad tracks very well because of the lack of pictures printed on top. Mine is just a plain blue. Also, it is the most low friction mousepad I have used in over 20 years of computing, and even better than the SteelSeries SX mousepad that sells for $49.99(at the time of this writing). It has less friction than that over-expensive pad! I highly recommend this product for anyone that needs an extremely fast, low friction, high tracking mousepad for a reasonable price. If you are a gamer or anyone who wants a hard surface that tracks great, has extremely low friction, you need this mouse pad! Great job Belkin!

Bought this for my sons mouse, this mouse pad seemed of good quality and he hasnt complained yet. When we purchased his computer it came with a mouse but no mouse pad so we just used it without one and ended up breaking the mouse in a few days so now that we have replaced the mouse we use this mouse pad and it seems to work great. It doesnt slide when used and seems to let the mouse move easily in use.

I bought this mouse pad to use with my laptop at school while working on digital art projects. The pad itself is very light, definitely on the cheaper side in terms of quality, but that should be expected with a mouse pad this cheap. Despite the cheaper quality, this mouse pad still fulfills my needs 100%. My wireless mouse is able to glide on this pad without any issues, and the pad has no issues staying in place. I have owned this mouse pad for nearly 3 years now, and its still in great condition & fully functional. If youre looking for a mouse pad for basic needs on a budget, I dont think youll be able to find many (if any) better options for the price. Highly recommend!
