I have used a lot of mouse pads over the years and for the past 5+ years, I have been using the Razer Exactmat Double Sided Gaming Mouse Pad, which has held up very well, plus it also came with a nice soft wrist pad. However, it was starting to show its age, so when I looked for a replacement, I looked for a similar mouse pad, but instead of a double sided version, I wanted one with a non slip bottom, that would NOT be slipping all over my desk area. After searching and reading reviews I opted for the MM800. I opted for the hard version instead of the soft cloth version, as that is what I'm use to and prefer. Once the item arrived, I recalibrated my Roccat Kone XTD laser mouse to the new mouse pad. Well, it is all I had hoped it would be and then some. The mouse pad is firm with no wiggle or bending at all. The material on the mouse pad appears to be the same type that was used on the Razer Exactmat Double Sided Gaming Mouse Pad. However, the LED light bar that wraps the pad is superb! Since I have the Corsair K95 Platinum in gunmetal, which uses the CUE software, this item uses the same software and can match the keyboards light pattern. So, if you have one Corsair product that uses the CUE software, this is a beautiful fit and match, that will compliment your desktop. If you want to even go one step further, get the Creative Sound BlasterX Kratos S5 speaker system, which also has an LED light bar on the bottom of each of its satellite speakers. Place the K95, Kratos S5 and the MM800 on the same desktop and you have one gorgeous light show, one that will surely impressive anyone who sees it. I am expecting the MM800 to last a very long time and for what you get, the price point is good. I used my Prime membership to receive this item on the same day as I ordered it at NO cost, ZERO! Gotta love it when a great deal gets delivered the same day as you order it. Thanks Amazon for providing this item and great shipping!
