Maybe I had high expectations, but this thing feels terrible. I had a mousepad already, but my wrist was starting to hurt from it, so I decided to buy this. The first thing I noticed when it came out of the package was that it was noticeably much stiffer than my other. The cushioning part was kind of hard, I probably could've put a folded washcloth down for my wrist and it would've felt better. The mousepad itself is very loud, even with my headphones on I can still hear it. To top it all off, I can smell the cancer that the bag it came in was warning about. I guess it's fair enough for $7, but I wouldn't recommend this
