Page 4 - Conclusion
My original plan to keep the Calvin and Hobbes collection in my living room has failed. Almost immediately after I received it, I brought it upstairs for some night time reading. While the purpose for buying it has changed, the Cooler Master MasterAccessory MP510-L's purpose has stayed the same. The major highlight of the mousepad is the Cordura surface, which provides multiple benefits. For one, it brings the durable reputation the fabric technology is known for. You may not be outside in the elements, but this translates into an ability to repel water and other liquids. The base is a solid rubber backing and holds the whole pad in place well. I really like the braided edges here, which prevents the top from separating from its base and is a smoother edge to rest your arm upon. As for performance, the Cordura fabric holds up and the Cooler Master MasterAccessory MP510-L gives us desirable traits with consistency across the surface. I have mentioned the slightly rougher layer does affect the glide and noise adversely, though these are really minor. In day to day use, some may prefer a smoother feeling surface, as I think it feels better on your hands and it does not catch dust as easy, but the liquid resistance is nice to have. I would have liked if the glow-in-the-dark effect was a bit more prominent, but this is a personal opinion. At a retail price of $18 USD for this size, the Cooler Master MasterAccessory MP510-L is a priced right. Relevancy of these surfaces will still depends on the user, but the MP510 is a smart pick if you are looking for one.
