Purchased for my girlfriend as she was really getting into WoW with me. I could not find one more her style at the time but decided to grab this anyway as it was on sale. She was happy with it and is still using it 1 and a half years later. It's a medium size product so if you have small mouse room, half of it will have to go under the keyboard. It is smooth and allows the mouse to glide over it. The color and material has not degraded and has stayed in great shape despite the occasional spillage of some sort on it. SteelSeries makes quality products, so get one!
