Pros: after playing at 21:9 its hard to go back to 16:9.

the extra space on the sides comes in very handy in games and in putting windows side by side.

people say they miss the height. well, i compensated for that by putting the task bar on the side. and when i want to see the rest of the web page, i scroll. :)

you can hide the task bar too. that helps. but i like it showing so that's why i put it on the side.

there are pros and cons though for sure. i have a dual monitor setup. actually this and a 37in 1080p TV. so when i really miss the size of the screen and height - i do whatever i'm doing on my tv. otherwise i use this 29in.

Cons: slight corner backlight bleed in the two left corners. enough that whenever the screen is dark, i notice the light hint in the corners.

Pros: senses the mouse just fine. have tried other pads and sometimes the mouse doesn't pick up the pad. (have a naga mouse.)

also, because it's not hard, you don't have to have your table top exactly, perfectly level and smooth. hard pads can wobble when things aren't perfect.

wide and tall enough such that you never run out of space.

Cons: has started to fade a little where i rest my wrist. hasn't frayed at all, which is good, though.

Other Thoughts: best, most reliable, cheapest in it's class pad i've used.
