This mouse pad is a great alternative for anyone dislikes cloth mouse pads for whatever reason.
The size is large enough for most gamers, however if you play with incredible low sensitivity or like to use portions of your pad as a coaster you might want to look somewhere else.
The plastic surface has less friction than most cloth pads I've used which can take some getting used to, and there is minor feedback from the textured surface which can be distracting at first, but overall the mouse pad is great.
