The texture on the mousepad is consistent, and I think there are some benefits to the plastic over the fabric one. I always find a way to get small cuts or perforations in my typical fabric mousepads, and it’s much more difficult to damage a plastic mousepad when you’re tinkering on top of it. (Admittedly, this could just be me, as I take apart a lot of products at my desk.) Considering you cannot remove and replace the mousepad itself, the plastic version may enjoy a longer lifespan.
The mouse area is relatively small compared to the XXL mousepads popular among keyboard enthusiasts. I occasionally found myself bumping the mouse up against the raised section at the top of the mousepad or running it off the edges onto the bare desk. However, since you’re not putting a keyboard on it, the size is a solid middle ground between being too small to use and being too large to fit on an average-size desk.
Almost the entire underside of the mousepad is comprised of a rubberized material that holds the mousepad in place. This rubber is grippy, and during regular gaming, the mousepad was more or less anchored onto the desk. It slightly crept backward over time, presumably after I rested my wrist on the mousepad, but the distance was insignificant, and similar to the slow creeping of any mousepad on a desk over time.
