I like quality leather, and this mousepad really hits the mark in terms of design
I really try to avoid suedette, faux-leather, or plasticy office items that look great in the moment but degrade and don't last that long. That's why Northwind Supply's products really appeal to me: they're going to last me so long that I can give this mousepad to my child when they are born and grow old, and they'll ask "What's a mousepad?" But I'll still use it!<br /><br />As a photographer who uses Lightroom/Photoshop, a mouse that moves cleanly and efficiently across my work desk is the difference between a good session and a bad session. This mouse pad works, and is large enough to cover all of my mouse movements without taking up too much of my desk. Sometimes the gold-foil initials of my name are illumined by my desk lamp and it makes me feel like a real photographer/writer: a good addition that would be really nice for gifts, and generally nice for countering imposter syndrome.<br /><br />This is a simple but elegant piece of cowhide, and I'm happy to have purchased it. It'll last a while, and I'll have to update y'all on what it looks like later on. I'm not sure how to maintain it, and though that seems like something to Google, it'd be a nice addition to the purchasing process, I'm sure the leather experts at Northwind Supply have tips, especially with the customized foil press.<br /><br />I was given a complimentary mousepad in exchange for an honest review of this product.
