This mouse pad is awesome. It's surface is smooth, but has enough grip and texture for your mouse to track properly. My Logitech M510 Laser Mouse tracks beautifully on it. It actually improved my mouse's response compared to my old mouse pad. The cushioned palm rest is a great feature and offers really good support. Much better support and feel than others I've used. Those things are all great and important in a mouse pad, but the "stand out" feature of this mouse pad is that fact that it DOES NOT MOVE. This thing feels as though it is welded onto my desk. Of course it isn't stuck to your desk permanently and can be removed if you wanted it to be, but unless you "peel" it off, it isn't going anywhere. If you want a mouse pad with great features listed above and one that DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL, get this. On top of all that, the price is great. Do yourself a favor and buy this.
