NatureSmart Allsop Mouse Pad – Raindrop
Pros: excellent mouse movement, ultra-thin mouse pad, soft cloth surface, non-skid backing
Cons: some people might want more cushioning in their mouse pad
A coworker walking by my desk proclaimed my mouse pad needed replacing. I noticed it was looking worn. Since my desk is in a visible area, I decided I needed a mouse pad update. That is how I came to discover and use the NatureSmart Allsop Mouse Pad in the raindrop design. It was a tough decision deciding, too, since so many mouse pad designs are available.
Description
This NatureSmart Allsop mouse pad is very thin with a non-skid underside and a soft cloth surface. The manufacturer states that its glue-fee assembly does not use or create harmful chemicals. Plus, the non-skid base is constructed from 60-percent recycled materials. The mouse pad is also made from all natural rubber. Mouse pad dimension for 8” x 8.75”.
My Experiences
This is the best mouse pad I’ve used. I love that the pad is ultra-thin. The way the surface of my desk aligns with the computer chair, the thinness of the mouse pad does not lift my wrist from the desk. No more uncomfortable angles from a foam mouse pad that sits too high.
There is no cushioning in this mouse pad. The cloth surface is smooth and very soft, but it does not provide a cushioned wrist wrest if this is something you need. The pad is very thin and flat.
The black non-skid backing grips the wooden desk surface very well. To shift the mouse pad, I need to lift a corner of the mouse pad before I can move it. I like that the pad doesn’t shift beneath my hand as I’m using the mouse.
I’m using a Logitech cordless mouse, and it easily glides along the pad surface. There is no hesitation or “jumping” in cursor movement.
The raindrop design is well done. It almost comes across as a 3D image. The blue color is vivid, and the design of raindrops against the blue surface is eye-appealing. If raindrops are not your thing, NatureSmart has a lot of designs to select from. They also offer the mouse pads in a few different sizes. This 8” x 8.75” size works great in my space.
This mouse pad is more environmentally friendly than some other options. It is constructed from all natural rubber. The product packaging is made with a minimum of 50-percent recycled material. Even the non-skid backing on the mouse pad is made from 60-percent recycled material. In addition, mouse pad construction does not use glue or create harmful chemicals.
Summary
This NatureSmart Allsop Mouse Pad was inexpensive and a great buy. I’m really pleased with the quality of the mouse pad and how well it works with my mouse. I find that this flatter mouse pad is more comfortable than my last one, too.
I hope you found this review useful.
Enjoy your day,
