Construction:

The Steelpad 4s is a very sturdy and durable pad. However it's aluminum composition makes it much lighter than you'd expect. Unlike some metal mousepads the Steelpad feel sturdy and is definitely not flimsy.

The downside to using metal however, especially when it is black is that it can and most likely will scratch over prolonged use.

The pad is the extra large version and the increased surface area allows for greater movement of the mouse. While the extra space can greatly aid those with a lower sensitivity it will take up a large portion of your desk since it is nearly the size of two standard mousepads.

The eight feet on the bottom of the mousepad prevent it from sliding. I never had a problem with the pad moving during testing. This is usually a problem with regular mousepads, or pads that do not include proper anti-sliding measures.

When you buy a pad you are hoping it will last a long time. When you buy a premium mousepad such as the Steelpad 4s you'd probably expect it to last even longer. After over a month of use I can attest to the fact that this mousepad definitely holds its own. Cleaning is very easy in general and the amount of dirt and dust on the pad is considerably less when compared to other surfaces such as cloth.

Overall, the construction of the Steelpad 4s is superb. It was definitely made with durability in mind. Its aluminum body makes it lightweight so that you can take it wherever you go while still withstanding the test of time. The quality of this pad is self-evident, a lot of care went into making this pad just right for Professional use.
