I do a lot of work from my laptop on the couch. I have done this for years. I don't have a mousepad or anything under it. I have used the arm of the couch as a mousepad, but now sit on the other end, so use the middle cushion next to me. Sometimes my mouse skips or doesn't work smoothly on it, which would be fixed easily by using a mouse pad. So I ordered this one to use when sitting on the couch. I used it a few hours one night after getting it and my oldest took it to his room to use on his desk. I lost it a lot faster than some of my other items, so I am still without a mouse pad. He has used it nonstop, every day, some days ALL day. He loves the gel pad that he can rest his wrist on. It is smaller than some mouse pads, but still plenty big enough to do what you need it to do. And I guess I am left watching for another one to be available or will have to buy one on my own.
