| imprimis2's Full Review: Allsop 23359 RAINDROP MOUSE PAD-COBALT BLUE |
Am I totally insane? I feel like that by attempting to write a review on a mousepad, I'm going to get a "Helpful" once again because the review isn't long enough. Oy vey! Well, let's see what we can do.
I'll say that if this review can cover more than the specs on the official Allsop website, I'm doing pretty good. :)
Anyway, the mousepad by Allsop that I'm reviewing is the model 23359 Cobalt Blue Raindrop Mousepad. This handy computer accessory is a very nice mousepad, and the raindrops on the top of it are true to life, probably because its a real photograph of raindrops..perhaps on a car or something. I love the blue color here...why? Well...I like blue! Dark blue at that.
What else can I say about this raindropped mousepad? It's very durable, as it has lasted me at least 2 years. Just now are the edges starting to frazzle a little bit, but still not much. The bottom is coated with a no-slide padding so that you won't find your wrist doing the "wave". My mouse moves delicately and efficiently across it as well. Well, of course unless you get dirt on it and then the mouse won't move at all. But a good side to this mousepad is that when you actually DO get dirt on it you can see it easily.
The mousepad is about 10 inches across, and 7 and a half inches from top to bottom. The edges of the pad are rounded, so theres no abrupt "hand-fall-off-the-pad" syndrome. It also keeps the office looking decent, because square mousepads just look plain tacky to me.
I paid about ten US dollars for this product, which came in a carboard container (not a box, look at the picture) and it has been well worth the purchase. I also have a vision guard monitor cover too, which is a useful item.
Allsop seems to be a dependable computer accessory company, and this mousepad is great. It's comfortable, durable, and simple looking without being tacky. Thumbs up by me!
Go buy it if you need a new mousepad.

Serial code on the bottom of my product was: X3K3834Z2. Actually it wasn't, but I wanna find out just how much of a stickler for more information you are. LOL
