" ... I have began to rotate the pad to a different side (edge) because of the peeling of the soft cover. ... "
" ... leaving me with a usable pad with completely ragged edges. ... "
" ... However, after less than a week of moderate, the fabric on the top of the mousepad has started to peel away from the foam. ... "
" ... I ended up putting making tape across the front and back edges because the front edge scratched my arm and the back edge frayed and snagged my mouses woven cord. ... "
" ... My biggest issue after almost a year is the edge peeling, where the fabric is separating from the base. ... "
" ... They’re super boring and pretty small for my size, they don’t feel nice and just over all it’s super cheaply made. ... "
" ... Very low quality started curling on bottom edge in less than 4 days of heavy use. ... "
" ... I do not like the thickness of the pad, could have been a little thicker, would be more stable over the surface . ... "
