Full compliance with the manufacturer's assurances, high quality.

I don’t know how it is for anyone, but my hand lies on the rug just at the bend of the hand, where the forearm begins. There, the skin, as you know, is very thin, and therefore all sorts of roughness are a little annoying. My former rubber and even new rubber (see photo, bought in case you don’t like aluminum), and many rugs with a rubber base
the corner is a little annoying, because its singed (so that the fabric does not bloom) edges dig into the skin, but here a perfectly even cut works like a rounding, the smooth surface does not cause any discomfort to the hand.

Since I recently purchased a carpet, I cannot say anything with certainty about the durability of the sliding surface. Initially I thought it was a coating, spraying. Then he looked. Then I photographed in macro mode. It looks like it's aluminum processing after all. But still, the question remains open, how much is enough. Lumin itself will not go anywhere, but it will grind down the plastic of the mouse, the pores will become clogged. And maybe one day, after many years. :))
It will no longer be recognized by the laser, but it will glide perfectly)) All this is speculation, nothing more. It will last two hundred pounds for a year, but in principle I don’t need more.

They wrote here about the cold from the metal. First, the person confuses concepts. That's why it's cold, because the metal removes heat well. Unlike rubber and fabric. Secondly, after a few seconds, the cold is no longer so obvious. Thirdly, some may like it. I just don't seem to care. But the smooth edge does not cut the hand, for me it is more important.

Total: come to the store with your mouse, be sure, this carpet is not for everyone. But if you don’t have the fundamental point of absolute (!) noiselessness or, for example, the requirement of poor thermal conductivity, and most importantly, there is a really good mouse with smooth, wide (and not worn out) sliding areas, then the mat can suit you very well. Yes, it rustles, but not like with bad mice. Yes, it's cold, but there is something in it.

Pros

+ very beautiful and stylish thing! + thanks to recessed rubber feet (there are 4 of them) and beveled edges, the hand lies down and is felt in height like on a rug with a rubber base, i. E. the height is comfortable, the board lies on the table like a glove + again, beveled edges make this rug pleasant to the hand when the hand is on the edge. + If you need to move the mouse along with the pad, then this procedure is much more convenient than with a flexible pad. + it is much easier to clean the mote from such a rug. Swept it and everything. But on a regular one with a cloth surface, sometimes it’s impossible to blow off any grain of sand, the mouse rides along it and vibrates, because the grains of sand linger in the structure of the fabric.

Cons

- glide is not as silent as on a soft one with a fabric top layer (like Trust Eco-Friendly Mouse Pad 21051). Before that, I had a similar type of Trust. The mouse glides over it perfectly, I would say ideally, but there are also disadvantages (read in the pros to aluminum). Fabric ones are absolutely (!) silent, but there is some noise on the aluminum surface. And it will be stronger, the cheaper your mouse. And the sliding itself will also depend heavily on the mouse. I'll explain below. - does not work with all mice. I checked in the store, they have the cheapest laser mouse, she could not master this carpet. We went to another computer, it was also cheap, but already Logitech, and it worked fine. My homemade plows well too, but I have a good Logitech. However, I also have the world's cheapest mouse lying around at home. As I remember now, a couple of years ago I ended up in some kind of dumb store, it cost a maximum of a hundred. I took it simply because at that moment I was switching to a new computer and I had to move the mouse back and forth. So, I have never seen anything cheaper in my life, and it works perfectly *. * Excellent it works in terms of cursor movement. But there is a very, very important nuance. Good Logitech mice are thought out not only functionally, but also ergonomically. They have wide and SMOOTH sliding (!) platforms (see photo). And with such pads, the mouse glides, albeit with some noise and almost not so perfectly, but well. If something is noticeably accurate, then it is a sound, and the effort during friction is more likely to be realized theoretically. Another thing is the Deshman Chinese product on three small rough (!) stumps made of rough raw plastic. Let it function, but no one can endure such a nightmare.
