this replaced my black steelseries desk mat. it's noticeably higher quality. the edge stitching is well done, the graphics are crisp, and it looks awesome. the slightly rubbery bottom also keeps it from sliding around which is nice. if you like the look, go for it. the quality is just as great.
The ares colorway looks vibrant in person. I didn't notice any color fade, as others have. But to nitpick, there is one spot where the edge stitching looks a little jumbled. Besides that, I'm overall happy with the mat.
I recommend You do this is a bathtub but the same steps are taken when using a sink. First clean the bathtub you don't need to use any harsh chemicals just rinse it the sides and floor with water to make sure no dirt or anything will get on the mouse mat. Proceed by placing the mouse mat in the bathtub and start running either cold or Luke warm water then stop the water and add your soap of choice to the top of the mouse mat. You should now have a mouse mat with a water soap mixture on top of it proceed by taking the sponge soft side down and going in a circular motion at the area were the stain is located. Make sure to take your time and don't apply to much pressure once you clean the area [Recommend 2-5 mins of scrubbing] run water over the area were u were scrubbing. Repeat scrubbing process for all areas that need cleaning. Once you are happy with the results and make sure the stains are no longer there proceed by using the towel or paper towels to pat down the mouse mat until a majority of the water is soaked up. Hang mouse mat to dry make sure to NOT PUT IN SUNLIGHT LIT AREAS this will cause damage to the mat recommend you hang in a area that will get a lot of air passing through. Let the mouse mat air dry for 48 hours before use. Enjoy :)
Awesome clean design - like all of Mito's deskmats. Not really much else to say really... Feels great, smooth, is thick, easy to clean. Serves it's purpose so well I bought 2. :)
I got the Apollo mat to match with the gmk godspeed armstrong/novelties nad milky white qk80. Looks very good. Probably the white will get dirty quickly. But, that will happen with every white product. Good quality, well packed, recommend.
Loved how my desk became more vibrant. Just simply wish Id kept it cleaner longer. Rings of water condensation will seem to stain it. Can only clean it so much, but dont regret it. I like switching out mats anyways so if you're not looking for a 'forever' mat, go for it
We have a high traffic desk (3 cats) so I don't expect things to stay clean, but the light color attracts dirt and cleaning only lifts so much out. Great deskpad, just keep in mind if you are eating or pets will be on it.
I previously had the Novelkeyz Godspeed mat that took me forever to acquire due to how fast they sell out (it is still sold out currently). After a couple of years and a few cleaning sessions it has yellowed and gotten pretty beat. This was a great option for a replacement.
I am overall very happy with the mat, I absolutely love the design. The print is very crisp and not blurry at all like a lot of the cheap Amazon mats. Material and stitching is awesome too.
The only gripe I have is that the novelkeyz mats is thicker with a better padding, so in that sense it feels more premium. However, you do not notice this at all when using the pad.
I would definitely buy this again, but I do hope they make the pads thicker to compete with Novelkeyz who in my opinion makes the absolute best desk pads you can buy at the moment.
