Review by Denise A. for 3M(TM) Mouse Pad, Antimicrobial, Gel, Adjustable Platform, Black
Rating:
I got one of these I could use for mousing while using my laptop on the couch. I have CTS & tendonitis, so the touchpad doesn’t work well for me for long periods. The fact this is a solid unit is what sold me. It is very sturdy. I can set it on the couch arm and mouse, or on my leg, or anywhere I can reach… I can bridge it between my leg and the couch arm… sometimes I use the cushion, which is NOT “plastic” as the other review says. OK, it may technically be plastic of some kind, but it’s soft and pliable. Leatherette means it feels a lot like leather. But this holds up a lot better than leather because it can resist oils from your skin, where leather absorbs it. Easy to clean, too, should the need arise. It comes w/rubber “feet” in 2 sizes that you can choose to stick on the bottom, or not… in case you want to invert the pad – or have it at a different angle than the keyboard. Like, at work I have an adjustable keyboard/mouse tray, sloping downward for better wrist position. But I don’t want the mouse sliding forward all the time, so the feet will help keep it more level. Brilliant design. The ONLY way this product could be improved is if the “feet” were permanently attached and hinged so I could choose between using them and tucking them away for travel or if I change my keyboard tray angle.
