Most Ridiculous Mousepad Ever.
(1 out of 5) by Shari on Jun 1, 2006You can't deny this mousepad is adorable! That big old smiling Hello Kitty face with the big bright pink flower... So cute!
Unfortunately, that's about all this mousepad has going for it. As far as useability, be prepared to be frustrated. Endlessly.
I can honestly say I have NEVER had a mousepad come out of the package and CURL UP. That's right - the sides and edges immediately curled in on themselves. "Annoying" doesn't even BEGIN to describe this phenomenon.
BUT! I am a trouper. So I got out a stack of dictionaries and set them on top of the mousepad - and left them there for about two weeks. Yes, two weeks. Every time I checked on it before then, it still had a distinct curl to the edges.
Finally, the mousepad was flat enough to be used... and I put it down on my desk and Lo! There was much rejoicing over the cuteness of the mousepad.
Of course, that was about 2 months ago. In the past two months, the mousepad has continued to curl up and need to be flattened out over and over and over again... until at this point, I'm wondering why I still bother and, more importantly, why did Sanrio ever make such a heinous product?
Really, they ought to be ashamed of themselves. If I wanted to do my mousework on a round service, I'd buy a beach ball.

Mod Hello Kitty Mousepad
(5 out of 5) by K. Bell on Jul 3, 2006 (Vancouver, WA USA)This is a great mousepad. Simple and big enough to move around. It isn't fussy at all. Just great simple modern Hello Kitty. You should get it!

Easy to See
(3 out of 5) by John P Bernat on May 10, 2006 (Kingsport, TN USA)After seeing this mouse pad in person, it's easy to understand the all-consuming popularity of hello kitty in Japan.
The authors of last year's "Democracy" satire said that hello kitty was actually the new Japanese national symbol. After trying out this mousepad, I think you'll really agree.
A word of warning: the mousepad does not work quite as well with optical mouse devices as it does with the older-style roller mouse devices.
I cannot bring myself to refer to a mouse in the pural in the obvious way; it might scare kitty.

soon to be garbage
(1 out of 5) by Mary Campbell on Sep 5, 2009 (Staten Island, NY)I love Hello Kitty and am really disappointed with this product. Within a week it warped so bad. The other reviewer said that they worked to flatten out the pad after it warped, but I think I can only put it into the garbage soon as it is too distracting like this to work with.
Great mousepad but a little small
(4 out of 5) by D. Kennedy on Feb 14, 2009 (Colorado USA)The Hello Kitty KT4000 mousepad is a small but quality mousepad. Completely sealed edges and a non-slip backing make it very usable. I did not experience any curling of my mousepad as others noted, it shipped flat on a cardboard backing in a shrink-wrap sleeve and was flat and useable right out of the package. I have also had no problems with it being too slick or having problems with my optical mouse, and it is very cute and adorable. The only issue I have with it is that it is slightly smaller than an average mousepad so it's taken a bit of getting used to. I would definitely recommend this mousepad to anyone looking for a Hello Kitty computer accessory.
