Belkin Large Mouse Pad, 8 Inch by 9 Inch, for Computer or Gaming Mouse Pad, Non-slip Base, Neoprene Backing and Jersey Surface for Smooth Mouse Control and Pinpoint Accuracy (Black)

Hope my review & feedback of this product along with the pictures I will post will help a few fellow Amazon shoppers: QUALITY? 8/10 ~ When you first open up the package it strongly smells like plastic. But after a few days it goes away. The quality is nice. It does the job. It's not too rough or annoying and my computer mouse moves around with no problem on it. Though it gets dirty a little too fast because the material used to make this sort of absorbs dirt and dust and since the color is black it's really noticeable. It's still super worth it considering how cheap it is though. SIZE? 10/10 ~ Big enough. I do video editing and I also do computer gaming. When you game you need to move the mouse all over the place but thanks to the decent size of this thing I never had problems. PRICE? 10/10 ~ The price is honestly a joke. It's so cheap not event he dollar store would be able to beat it. And it comes with free shipping as an option? No way? I'd buy this thing 10 times over and still be happy with it. Other online or local stores sell these things for like $15 - $20! Check out the pictures I will also include: feel free to ask me any questions / let me know if my review was helpful to you

Good item

It’s good for the price

At the price that's offered, it's no wonder that this Belkin 8-by-9-Inch Mouse Pad (Black) is the #1 in sales for mouse pads. It's simple, basic black and the perfect 9.2 x 8.3 inches that have almost become an industry standard. There are no duckies, Hawaiian tropical flowers, basset hounds, sports team logos, photos of Sports Illustrated Sports Illustrated swimsuit models , hot air balloons, comic book characters, or images of mountains that you'll probably never visit. It's just a basic black mouse pad; nothing more, nothing less. But... oh, the smell! Maybe that's an added feature, a freebie that wasn't noted in the product specs? Actually, there's a fast and easy solution to remove that somewhat noxious odor, but bear with me so that you'll understand the logic. Some of the first mouse pads were actually made from manufacturer's scrap of the same neoprene foam backed with a thin sheet of nylon or Spandex that we find in Scuba and free-dive wetsuits , and some of us made out own mouse pads from worn out or badly torn wetsuits. So what does this have to do with smelly mouse pads? That's easy: those old wetsuits stunk when new, but one hoped the atrocious smell would go away by the second or third dive. However, they smelled like a cross between a wet dog and dead opossum road kill when left in a plastic bag in the trunk of a car for a few days after a dive, so they had to be washed... and quickly. Today we have products such as Sink The Stink Wetsuit Wash and others to deal with getting rid of the stench. But these cost more than the mouse pad itself, which is ridiculous. The solution is simple: wash the mousepad thoroughly with your standard kitchen dishwashing soap. Good old green Palmolive works fine. Rinse it and gently wring out the excess water, then wash it again the same way (think of it like shampooing your hair). Set it on a flat surface between layers of paper towels to blot up the excess water. Depending on your climate, it should be dry and ready to use within a day or two. I'm not going to suggest that you try this, but there are some of us who take our mouse pads and put them in the washing machine with older dark clothes. Just remember to not put them in a clothes dryer. OK, back to the mouse pad. It's good, it's priced right, it's functional, it will work with just about any mouse, be it optical or the older one with mouse balls. Wash it and get rid of that smell that makes one think you pulled it out of a garbage dump or an old tire recycling plant and it will last a long time. 9/5/2012

I like the pad it serves the purpose l recommend

I've been using this mouse pad for 2 years and its quite great. It's small and would be excellent in a work environment. Its quite durable and easy to clean. Very smooth to run a mouse along. I don't know if there's a bigger version but as a home user I would kill for one. They made a really great product here that I would absolutely recommend for casual use.

Decent size for the price, has a nice texture to it. Only complaint is the overwhelming chemical stench coming off of it. It's been in my office for about an hour now and my nose is dried out and burning from breathing in the fumes. Other reviewers are saying the smell dissipates in a few days, but I had taken this out of the package 3 days ago and it's still overwhelming my nose. 2025 Update : Been using this thing for a few years now. The quality has absolutely held up over that time. The smell thankfully DID go away. I don't really remember when, but I genuinely forgot that it used to stink until I started looking at my old reviews haha. Would recommend this again. Has been a great mousepad.

Mouse pad is ok, but arrived all scrunched up so it would not sit flat. Probably more Amazon's fault for shipping loose in a box with other larger heavier items. We will see if they smooth out.

Maus funktioniert darauf. Was will man mehr sagen.

O mouse não funciona nele. Tive que colocar uma folha de papel.

نوعيتها جيدة و مقاسها مناسب

buena calidad a bajo precio, no mucho mas que agregar para un simple mouse pad

Good brand name and perfect sized mouse pad, super thick so mouse moves around effortlessly.
