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!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This pad is extremely well made and super comfortable. I love how thick it is while being soft and great for mouse use that double as a desktop protector. The size was spot on

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.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Pretty good. Kinda soft and thick, heavy style mat. Machine washable. No issues. Not much else to say. It's a mouse pad.

Fits perfect on our Ashley table to make games more fun & less noisy!

The biggest downside to this mousepad as well as it's best feature is its size. I love having a massive mousepad but this thing is really hard to keep clean. It's so hard to keep clean I'm actually surprised I don't see people frequently buying a lint roller and dust blower with this. If you want to keep this thing clean you're probably going to be soaking it in the tub with some laundry detergent and scrubbing with the soft side of a sponge once a month. (Scrubbing is necessary to get rid of that grime that builds up where you commonly rest your wrists.) That being said it would be a wise idea to have a back up mouse pad.Another great feature about this mousepad that also can be a downside is the foam inside of it. It's nice and comfortable to rest my wrists on but adds a bit of drag to the mouse. Not really that noticeable but it could bother some people. Not to mention when you wash this thing it'll take about a full day to dry if you're in a dry climate.Would I recommend this mousepad/deskmat? Yes I would. Their isn't too many options for this kind of thing currently especially at this size '48x'24. Not to mention this is one of the better ones even though it's gotten close to doubling in price since I bought it. I hope they make a version without the foam mat inside since a therapeutic wrist rest does that job better anyways and it would be a lot more convenient for cleaning. However is resting your wrists on a hard surface and you want the room to move your mouse that a normal therapeutic mousepad can give you this is a great option.

I purchased this to replace my last TAZ gaming mouse pad and was not displeased. This pad has lasted through some serious stuff! Even a couple water spills! It is easy to clean, does not tear away as I play, and honestly holds its shade of black extremely well. It has a smooth consistent feel on it and certainly is worth the little extra money spent on it. I would highly recommend this for the value it holds. Smooth movement for my mouse as well!

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!
