Review on Dooke Desk Pad Protector Computer Accessories & Peripherals for Keyboards, Mice & Accessories by Marcus Dorgham

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The really big mouse pad is very comfortable; looks the same as product photos; same size as described

These large oversized mouse pads are great. I have kids so they move things and the large cloth top rubber backed mouse pads are big enough and snug enough on the desk that my kids won't move them. This is important because I want the tables to be secure. I also like them because they come in a variety of styles and colors and I have a bohemian taste and like to have colorful patterns everywhere. This floral mouse pad (I have Blooming Flowers) is quite a nice mouse pad and the design looks the same as the pictures on the web. It's great for me. This is a decent quality large giant mouse pad with a vibrant floral print. Size: The size listed online is 31.2" x 11.8" and it's an exact match when I measure it with a tape measure. I got this to put on a table with a cage where I wanted the area in front of the cage to be covered so the 11.8 inch width was fine with me. Similar style oversized mouse pads come in a variety of sizes and definitely a lot larger than this one as I have a really large mouse pad on my son's desk that doesn't have a cell. Check the size and if you want more, you can definitely get a similar mouse pad even bigger. Or, if the size of this product fits your needs, the product information is correct. Construction: It's a rubber backing and then a fabric layer sewn together to create a soft surface and sewn together at the edges. I think it'll hold up well and the old really big mouse pad that I've endured just fine with things like normal wear and tear and tripping and putting out hot food bowls (a hot food bowl like I destroyed my last traditional mouse pad, that was a hologram and deformed). I am allergic to latex and some rubbers can irritate me and this is normal for me and does not irritate me. I don't think it can be completely washed off. He says to vacate the place. I think you can dip it in water, lather and rinse, but you have to be careful not to stretch the rubber backing so it can't be wrung out and definitely don't put it in the washing machine. To wash it I would put it in a big giant basket or on the bottom of the tub where I could hold it flat and submerge it completely in water until it was flat and then wash and rinse. Then air dry it by laying it face down on a clean piece of cardboard to remove moisture. As I said, I have children. who are often rude. And the fabric of their very similar mouse pad doesn't get dirty that easily. This is definitely something that stays cleaner than I thought before having a giant mouse pad in this style. Color and Pattern: The pattern I received is called Blooming Flower. The mouse pad I received looks exactly like the pictures online which means the flowers are in the exact same places as the product picture. So I think they are all printed the same way and not randomly cut from one large panel of fabric. The colors are bright and vibrant and the colors and arrangement look exactly like the product image. How do you use a really big mouse pad?: Really big mouse pads are the new thing. I've only seen her in the last 2 years. They are cool. With a small, normal mousepad, the mouse can be moved to the side. I just pick it up and put it back in the middle, but my kids will keep moving it and pushing the mouse pad aside without being able to handle it. I bought them a really big mouse pad first so they could use the mouse anywhere on the table. Then I liked using it, so I took it with me to my desk. Basically, you can turn your entire desk into a mouse pad, so you never have to throw your mouse out of the way. They protect your entire table. And they come in a variety of prints, from plain old solid colors to pretty balls and more professional patterns, cartoon or video game art, and florals like this one. They fold up so you can take them with you when you travel with your laptop. They are cool. Also relatively cheap and definitely less expensive than clear plastic desk protectors (although I use clear plastic protectors on all my desks because I have kids). Even if this extra large mouse pad doesn't suit you, it's really comfortable. If you need a mouse pad, go for the really big ones. In general I am satisfied with them. This isn't my first rodeo as I used to have a really big mouse pad and loved it. (Mouse pad everywhere! Too big for my kids to rip off and not use.) The mouse pad I received is exactly what I expected.
