Durability

We noticed that the Steelpad 4D shared a few similarities as the Steelpad S&S, in terms of rigidity and material construction. But a mouse pad review is never complete without putting it through a series of physical abuse.

So again, I took the liberty of conducting the drop test from my house and I’m happy to report that it survived the two-storey drop without any noticeable damage!

Nonetheless we strongly advise you NEVER double it as your mom’s chopping board as it definitely would not survive the repeated pounding of her cleaver! And NO, it’s not going to survive as your dog’s replacement Frisbee either.

Also worth mentioning is the fact that it is easy to maintain. As a Serial Coco-Crunch Addict (Cereal Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner), I tend to have a lot them in front of my laptop. Because I usually leave the bowl on the Steelpad 4D, it always ends up with plenty of chocolate milk stains. Fortunately, cleaning it was as simple as a swipe of a piece of damp cloth and it's restored to its original condition!

Apparently, the Steelpad 4D is also `dust-resistant’. This means less time spent gutting your opto-mechanical mouse to clean up on its dust accumulating habits.
