I took it as a gift for my husband, he is a fan of Logitech equipment. Of the benefits: large, high-quality coating, the mouse glides over it without problems, very pleasant to the touch. Cons: very expensive. Gave a few thousand just for the brand. It seems to me that for such money the rug could be made with lights and other interesting bells and whistles that can generally be made in a table and mouse pad. Well, like any black rug - very easily soiled, all dust and dirt is very visible and not very well removed.
