I've been looking for a mouse surface to carry with me for a while.This seemed to be a good choice. The tracking is excellent.The non-slip base could use a little improvement as it slips after a while. It also picks up dust and hair pretty easily but you can clean it under tap water and let it dry for a couple hours and it still looks as good as new. Tried using it to clean my LCD screen but you can't use cleaning products, otherwise you'd screw up this mat.

I bought this a few months after I bought the Sphex for my gaming at home, I liked the fact that it's compact enough to go with me between the screen and keyboard when I game out on the road but the sphex has spoiled me for a hard surface mat. I game ok but I much more prefer the hard surface. I use a Lachesis for both my desktop and my laptop while out on the road. I guess if I was still using a soft mat at home I probably would have given it a 5. If they were to come out with say Sphex-H combining the hard surface of the Sphex and compact size of the Kabuto and ship it with a soft cloth sleeve so yo cold still store between the screen and keyboard without fear of scratching anything I would be in heaven!

I'm using it alogn with my Lachesis it work incredibly don't get itchy if my hand rubs with it the precision of my mouse
in just one word....WOW
and is a must have if you play on a laptop

Being a college student I don't have much space on my desk but wanted to get a decent pad. I had some general brand that was thick and just a small square. So after I got this in the mail I laid it out and found how soft the top was for my laptop screen and even the bottom was made great so it wouldn't slip. So if your short on space and want a good surface even for a desktop (I don't need much mouse space) this is great. Also awesome for when your going places with your laptop since it fits in between the screen and keyboard being unnoticeable.
