I chuckle when I see mouse pads described as “mini” because these are the same size all mouse pads used to be back in the days before specialised gaming mouse pads became available. The rubber base on this pad is great – very grippy and really does not slide around. The cloth surface is gorgeous. The mouse pad is very thin but is comfortable to use. It's not a fast-glide pad, which makes it ideal for precision work and general use. If you use a standard mouse pad then measure it and check its measurements against this one. You may find its the same size. I bought mine because I found I was regularly moving my large gaming pad out of the way when doing other work with my PC and, so, wanted a good general-purpose mouse pad that was just big enough. This is it. I'm very happy with my purchase and can see myself also using it for games where I don't make large sweeps with the mouse.
