The Metal Art Mousepad is a specially textured surface to work better with both rollerball and optical mice. Let me say that again: It helps your mouse work better. The combination of the non-slip base and heavy metal frame will keep the pad in place as you use it. It has a ridgid, easy-to-clean surface and a very low profile.
This Mousing surface is subtle and neutral. The black to gray gradient is an attractive addition, but will not attract attention. This is a premium performance Mouse Pad for the sake of being a Premium Performance Mouse Pad.
