I think this mat is very gorgeous and the overall build feels nice. However, my biggest gripe w/ it is that I can noticeably feel a difference in level of friction on this mat compared to my other ones. And because of the fabric quality, it feels like if I accidentally happen to drop a cable management velcro wrap on top of it, the mat will immediately fray. The mat itself is very soft to the touch, but even w/ just my hands there is quite a lot of friction, and as someone who games frequently, I need very low friction when moving my mouse around. Also the material of the mat makes me believe it will stain easily, not that I'd want to test it since I'm trying to return the mat. It just doesn't fit my needs.
I have been using this for some weeks now, no complaints. Top surface is smooth and the rubber bottom makes sure it stays in place. Love the size and color combination, too!
Love this mousepad. Very smooth and thick. Excellent stitching. Great build quality all around. Mine did not come with any defects whatsoever. I've been using this mousepad for a couple of weeks now and have had 0 issues out of it. Highly recommend the Strata for anyone wanting a clean splash of color to your setup.
The pad feels very nice, and is large enough that I have plenty of space for my mouse and keyboard.
Mine came with a small area that had multiple small dents. Luckily, it’s in the area that I place my keyboard, so it doesn’t affect anything other than looking bad (the rest of the pad looks very nice). However, this would very much be an issue if it was on the area you use your mouse.
I could always return it and get a new one, but drop doesn’t refund shipping and it’s really not worth the time and money as it doesn’t affect the performance of the pad.
This mat is large enough to accommodate my mouse, keyboard, notepad, and anything else I am working on. It is attractive and durable enough to hold up to the six or so washes it's been through without any fraying or color fading.
I already own one of the planetary desk mats and ordered this as backup for when I need to wash the main mat. This one is definitely more smooth and soft and has since replaced my other mats. Great quality
This mat is very solidly built, large, and provides a good surface for using my mouse while gaming. The midnight color mat pairs well with the base ALT keyboard.
