ROCCAT Taito Control Gaming Mouse Mat

The designs can be annoying for those people who aren't keen on that. Also brand name recognition probably bumps the price a bit.

This is over twice the price of the deskmats that are commonly run in the Mech Keys category, but it's smaller, and doesn't have any design on it, so I have to wonder, who is this for? The quality even seems to be the same based on the pictures and description.

I accidentally bought two of the Mediums a while back and these things are really amazing quality for the price. The edges are particularly clean and hold up well. My experience is limited, but I particularly like the texture on the Taito, it definitely has just enough glide without being as slick as a hard mouse-pad or as friction heavy as other fabric mouse pads I've used in the past. Only downsides so far have been the grime over time, but that's pretty typical of fabric mouse pads.
