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 :)
Arrive Damaged Now have to mail back before I get replacement
Item arrived with ripped stitching and poor quality. In order to receive a replacement you first mail the item back to them even with clear damage. This policy is a complete joke and terrible customer service experience. Great work Drop. I will never purchase another thing from this company.
The quality of the mats is good, excellent side walls stitching and print quality.
The one issue I have is that any desk mat with a white or very light background is just hard to clean. Even multiple washing, the white part of the mate is still slightly dirty.
I like the mat and its overall design and texture alongside the feel of it but one just really tiny thing I dislike about it is that it might get stained easily from something like coffee or a drink but its easily removable by washing it so other than that its a great desk mat to lighten up your desk .
I am very happy with this mat. The minimalist design was exactly what I was looking for. I got the monochrome to start, but I'll get each color eventually. Great quality, printing is sharp, and the contrast is the best.
