Update May 14 2024: Was pleased to find that after 3 or 4 months using this pad and after cleaning with soap and a wet cloth the colours didn't fade and it looks brand new again! Still as beautiful as ever!Absolute beautiful quality! Color is true to what's shown. I ordered two of them, that beautiful aqua/turquoise one unfortunately is not the same color, it's more blue. I was going to return it for another purple but I had to show them both to the person I had one for (yes, surprise ruined). Turns out they wanted the blue and not the purple, so I kept the purple for myself and now we're both happy! Just wish the Aurora Peak pad was aqua colored as shown in the pics above. ...Quality is excellent, stays in place on my desk, dampens keyboard noise while hitting the keys, optical mouse runs smoothly with no hiccups going over lines or variations in color. Awesome job on the image/ink transfer, blended colors, sharp lines...just beautiful. They are a bit on the pricey side but when I consider the cost of small mouse pad versus this one, it is HUGE, about 8X larger with 8X more materials, then I'm thinking it's mostly justified!
