3XL Huge Mouse Pads Oversized (48''x24'') - Extra Large Gaming XXXL Mousepad for Full Desk - Super Thick Nonslip Rubber Base and Waterproof Desktop Keyboard Extended Mouse Mat (Black, XXX-Large)

I love this 3XL mouse pad but not for the reason you may expect! A mouse does track nicely across it but I have 13”x28” for that purpose. This mouse pad has a very special purpose: protecting my board games! The below is a niche review for board gamers, however this mouse pad would be great for serving multiple purposes outside of computing.As a desktop pad I would also recommend. It’s higher quality than the 1 I own. Mouse glides better, love the thickness, stitching and high quality neoprene base. I don’t need this size for my desk though so not practical for me.If you’re curious about my application and asking why would anyone care about board games and maintaining pristine condition? - it’s because they can be expensive (Gloomhaven, Brass, Everdell, Root, Scythe...) and replacing lost or damaged components is not always easy or even possible. Limited production runs, deluxe editions etc. it’s worthwhile to protect what you have. Also if you get a game half off you definitely don’t want to replace at MSRP!When I to other people’s houses sometimes their table is sticky or the pieces don’t slide nicely across the table and components get bent or damaged. My parents and family houses are where I have been lately (covid life, limited options). At my parents the cards don’t slide. Family has kids any there can be sticky or who knows what. Friends houses can have food, drinks or condensation from glasses on the table. The dangers and risk of damages are everywhere! What’s a gal to do?!This 3XL mouse pad is the perfect solution! The pad is nice and thick with quality stitching. It has a very nice neoprene bottom so it stays put once you place it. Of course the surface is water resistant so if something does spill it’s an wash cleanup. Also, it’s HUGE which was exactly why I wanted it! To be large enough to place all board games components or cards out there within reach of everyone and provide a smooth, clean, sliding surface. The box it comes in is great made of medium weight cardboard it’s durable enough to keep the 3XL rolled up and stored inside for safe keeping and easy transport. No more cringing when a card is rumpled ask someone tries to slide it across the table or lands in something wet or through snack food remnants.This was a much more cost effective option for board games. Sure you can sleeve all your cards that gets costly, too, though and still doesn’t offer protection from other components like wooden meeples and cardboard pieces. I read up how other board gamers protected their surfaces and a lot was written about ordering custom online or going to Joann fabric and cutting custom sizes but when priced out for time, effort and materials this was the best option when considering time, quality and cost.Other possible considerations for a giant mouse pad like this is poker, mahjong, dominoes and other tabletop activities. Actually, anytime you want to protect your wooden table from Scratches or damages this is a great solution (unless you’re writing or drawing). It’s also great if playing on the floor it provides a smooth stay-in-place solution to glide toys, games or cards across it.I have had it for a couple months and it has held up well. Very durable. I’d buy 1 again for a gift or if mine was damaged but don’t foresee needing to replace mine due to issues with the mat itself. Very happy customer!

Great desk cover and large mouse pad. Perfect size and thickness. Great gripping bottom, that stays put and doesn't move at all. Get this and forget about those dinky slip-sliding mouse pads!

Awesome

Really big mouse pad basically covers my whole desk of 70inch and it’s thick made of good quality feels really smooth when gaming over all really good.

Great Item

Over all it was a good experience, i got it fast and quality looks good my only complaint is the size, i ordered a 48" by 24" with the plan than it would fit my fold out table of the same size both for video gaming an board gaming however when i pot it on the table i found that i looked off, i pulled out a tape measure and the with was close only off a 1/8" still looked good on table however the length was off by 3/4". that's not what i ordered. i looked up and ordered a 48" x 24" not a 47-1/4" by 23-7/8". some might call it nit picking but when you search for over a half an hour and chose one that says its the right size it can be a little frustrating when it shows up short. i'm going to make the size work only because i can fidget it enough to make it work, if i had a gaming table were i had to tuck the edges in i would have returned it or if was any more off. still not happy but it will work.

Great Product. Been using it for a while and it works great.

Love these pads. I have purchased 3 of them in different sizes for different rooms and desks. Definitely worth the money. The 2xl version is pictured.
