What material is the surface of the mouse pad made of? I'm looking for something not cloth as they really can be cleaned, it this like a plastic?

It looks to be a textured surface that is pretty much smooth. My Microsoft mouse just slides over the mouse pad surface. Very little resistance compared to a regular mouse pad. One great thing about using the 3M pad it takes very little effort to move the mouse and you have to get acclimated to that feel. One thing that I did was to peel off the backing of the 3M mouse pad and glue it to a regular mouse pad I had left over. Now the 3M pad never moves.I like the 3M pad so much I have 2 of them.I wish I could give it more than 5 stars.Great product!!!!!!!!!

It's plastic. It's textured as well. It's like the material that as you tilt it changes. Sometimes they make stickers or greeting cards out of it; it has a picture on it and as you tilt it it changes. It's similar to that material.

Definitely cloth. I bought this mouse pad and haven't wanted to use a different once since!

I had the G700 and after a while the laser got really weak and wouldn't pick up normal mouse pads or any non-glossy surfaces, so I made a glass "mirror" mouse pad by taking a sheet of glass from a picture frame, and put aluminum foil on the back of it taped on with duct tape around the edges. This actually works really well, but can get a little dirty from long term use, easy to wipe off though.

Well the top material is made of a cloth like material and i have not felt any static while using it it feels good the many 100's of thousands times you move the mouse per day i am 50% sure you will have no static problems with this pad.

The majority of the "pad" is hard plastic. I agree. It will damage your floor and that is why I sent them back.

The surface of the sliding touch pad is hard plastic. Also has a slight depression to the mouse pad area.

Its plastic but has a slight texture to it so its not really super smooth or glossy. We don't use a mouse on it though.

Hello,Smooth on the top and textured plastic on the sides. I would recommend the mouse.

It's a harder surface, not a plastic surface like some gaming mats and not a "soft cloth". It's thickness is like the mouse pad you get for free at events but the surface is rougher, only complaint is the logo in the bottom corner peeled of quickly. 9/10 would recommend

They are plastic, and it is very easy to clean. I just rinse it out and wipe it down.

It's hard plastic - designed to be over a hard surface, nevertheless I use mine on my lap too, without any major discomfort... the "legs" of the mat can become a little bit uncomfortable if you have it on your lap for a long time.

I believe the platform where you rest your hands to type (the areas on either side of the mousepad) is plastic. It has the appearance of brushed metal.

Hello - The top is the (somewhat) standard matt-black plastic; however, both the right and left sides are rubber and the left side is such that the thumb really can grip the mouse. It is comfortable - I use this mouse on the arm of my leather recliner chair and it works great - the thumb groove helps me keep the mouse in place. Hope this helps...

The mouse overall performs greatly. Of course it feels like plastic but I've dropped it a few times I've had it on concrete or tile and it still runs like a charm.

Yeah, mine is slightly larger than yours and the space next to it is still about 3/4ths the width of a standard mousepad size for me, but as I say in my review the wrist rest is hard plastic and incredibly uncomfortable for mousing. Others apparently don't mind though so YMMV.

It's just the look of the plastic, its looks metal.....mouse is really good though for the price
