The smell. Holy moly, the smell from these things. I bought two of them for my office and we put up with them for about 25 minutes before washing scrubbing the underside, and ultimate discarding in the bin.
These mousemats are quite evidently cheaply made and curl up at the edges, but the most striking thing about them is that obnoxious toxic chemical smell that accompanies them. I can only imagine that they've just some kind of active plasticiser or pthalates or something to keep this 'gel' thing squishy because bad smells usually always serve as a warning. I cannot recommend this product at all.
It's genuinely made me feel light headed, if I'm honest. We've had the window open and fans on all afternoon and there's still a unpleasant lingering smell inhabiting the room. I can't even blame one of my colleagues for it because no human has ever physically produced a smell this awful. Not even my uncle Steve, and he stinks.
