Awesome design. Great quality and thickness. Came well packaged. My 6 year old basically bragged to his friends how cool I was because of this deskmat. So if your goal is to NOT be the coolest dad in your neighborhood, then I would recommend you look elsewhere for a more suitable deskmat.
This deskmat is great. I like the firmness of the foam and the feel of the materials, the design is really cool, the thickness is good and the stitching is good... except for one tiny little issue. The part where the stitching overlaps (about a centimeter) is right at the bottom right corner of the mat and it is incredibly noticeable whenever I look at my mouse. It would have been a perfect mousepad for the price, but this is just really annoying and can be easily moved to a less noticeable spot.
PafkataIt is very smooth, there is no discomfort on my hand. I have never had issues like that with my previous Varmillo, and no-name deskmats, I may not be the best person to ask.
I was looking for a new mousepad that was mainly black with white accents and this fit the bill perfectly. Upon arrival I was very happy with the look and feel of the mousepad. The mainly black design helps mitigate stains, dirt, etc, from constant use/mouse movement, while the astronauts are a cute touch and and out of the way enough to avoid constantly being touched and gathering dirt (obviously it should still be washed from time to time). I was really enjoying this mousepad until and unfortunate incident with a glass of wine. I believe this speaks for itself but one of the poor astronauts was partially stained red and I was unable to get it out. It has survived a couple other spills from pop and various other drinks, but this seemed to be the nail in the coffin. I will probably be purchasing a replacement in the near future (RIP astronaut, I hope you like red wine).
I got the mousepad a little over a week ago, and it is phenomenal! Super smooth and not only that, I spilled gatorade on it when I was sick and was so worried about staining.. the stain ended up coming right out as if it were never there. Great product.
