Programming Reference Mat for Arduino - XL Mouse Pad (31.5" x 15.7") | Non-Slip, Long-Lasting | Great Gift for Arduino Enthusiasts, Hobbyists, and Students | Robotics and Coding Tool

This was a gift for our oldest who is really into programming. The fact that all the information he needs to reference to is right in front of him to assist in his creativity! Sooo PERFECT! Great gift and so practical.

It works good, keeping my keyboard from sliding and working as a mouse pad as well

Purchased it as a gift- made a really nice desktop/workspace mat covering while providing easy reference. He builds and programs Arduino units. He likes it and says it’s very useful

the more visual contact you have the ore it seems to sink in.I put a silicone work mat over so I dont mess this one up doing something

Matt works very well. It really helps a lot.

If you like Arduino programming this quick reference may is for you

The pad's construction is surprisingly good compared to other pad's of this price range. It's pretty thick, giving it a nice cushioned feel, but dense enough your mouse's movements aren't impeded by sinking into it. The stitching around the edges if very uniform. I have no doubt this thing will hold up over the years, even though I've only been using it for about a few weeks. I use this at my desk in the office. I wanted something bigger, and better than the traditional square mouse pads that they just had laying around. Primarily because I bring in my own mouse and keyboard. The G502x I have skates across it smoothly, and my keyboard stays locked in place. I'm very happy with the overall performance of this desk pad.The only defect there is with this pad, or at least with the one I received, all the printing in the top left section of the pad locks like it double up on itself, and smeared. It's like if you were to tug on a piece of paper coming out the printer, while it's printing. It's still mostly legible, so the Arduino tips can be read. Also, the thread around the edges are black, but for some reason, parts of them are white. I don't know if they are actually white, and then inked them black. It's weird, but not really bad looking, just makes me wonder why not just use black thread to begin with.All in all, it's worth it. It exceeds the quality of a lot of desk pads out there at this price point. Just let me down a little with overall quality of the graphics.

This mousepad was immediately something that drew my attention because of the helpful information it has on it for Arduino coding. There is a spot on the keyboard that is left blank where your keyboard can go in order to make sure that you do not cover up any of the information on the mat. It is a very soft material and quite sturdy. I've used it daily since I purchased it and haven't seen any major signs of wear and tear. If you look at it super closely you can see a bit of a blur to the graphic, but nothing you wouldn't expect to see from something printed on fabric. It is easy to read and understand and has proven to be quite helpful for me. I think that it is worth the money for a nice mousepad that doubles as a helpful tool.
