I came from very thin mouse and desk mats, so this was a pleasant surprise when this was thick and kind of fluffy. Got the model with the blueprint and cannot complain! The design doesn't cause any hiccups on mouse movement, and I even have a very smooth mouse movement on the mat. Recommended for anyone who gets the keycap set!
Its a great looking pad. Was surprised to pay extra $15 in taxes or whatever extra fees were bolted on by DHL. Canadian buyers keep this in mind, with all cost, currency conversion and extra fees you are looking at almost double. Item itself is great.
PS I wonder how white stitching will hold up (why white in a first place for Noctua?)
Great deskmat!
I haven't been a huge Noctua fan in the past, but this brown color is super nice.
Came rolled up in a nice little cardboard cylinder. I had no issues with the mat retaining shape from having been rolled up.
I got the blueprint variant for a little visual variety. The print is nice!

It is worth noting that the Noctua logo and brand name appear in ~3 separate places on the blueprint variant, so you definitely feel like you're repping a brand. That seems to be a pretty big pro for some! It's neutral for me.
As someone whose PC is Noctua colour-themed, who wears Noctua hoodies, and has even painted their house in Noctua colours (yes really, brown and beige) this was an obvious pick for my desk. Although, for those who are less crazy about Noctua, spending this much on a glorified mouse-pad may be excessive.
This was my first purchase on drop (bought a few noctua themed items) and it was also my first new mousepad since 2016. This pad exceeded my expectations as it is thick enough to still feel quality and also the design looks really nice without any noticeable shortcuts like many of the gaming products lately. Highly Recommended.
I use this at work with my Unicomp Model M and Orca Wrist Rest and it's a great combo. The mouse pad has a fantastic quality to it and has withstood daily work use like a champion with very little wear and tear accumulation. Would recommend 10/10
