Read the review here:Spoiler (Click to View)I've seen this floating around the internet for quite a while, thinking nothing of it.
I got myself one quite a while ago, but I thought I should do a review for anyone else looking to get one.

Packaging

There's nothing special about the packaging.
Just a brownish yellowish shipping envelope with the mousepad, an invoice, and a plastic bag wrapping it up.
It took about 2 weeks to show up, which is normal for something shipping from Hong Kong.
Overall

The mousepad itself is very impressive. For only $1, I'm not sure if they're even making any profit from these.



The design I chose is the classic "T-Rex flying an F-14 Jet" picture from Calvin and Hobbes with a little Reddit alien in the corner.
The surface is smooth and silky and the bottom is nice and grippy.
The impressive thing is that these $1 mousepads use actual mousepad materials, like cloth and the spongey rubber, as opposed to cheap plastic and foam.

Print and Color Quality

The print quality isn't 10/10, but it sure is great for $1. The colors are vivid and bright, but the line sharpness could use some improvement.
Here's a close up (~80x zoom) of the top. You can see the color, material, and line quality in this picture.



The color is good. The lights are light and the darks are dark.
Just be careful when getting a white mousepad, as dirty stuff from your wrist will build up over time. (Applies for all mousepads)
In this picture, you can get a good sense of the contrast and color quality.
(None of these images are edited besides resizing.)



Material Quality

For $1, the material quality is great. The top is actual cloth with a silky finish.
It really shows when light is shined on it.



Suprisingly, the bottom of the mousepad isn't complete shit. It's even better than the $10 ones you find at Office卐Depot.
It'll easily catch stray dust and crumbs because of the grippiness, but you can just wipe it off with a moist paper towel.



Here's another closeup, this one of the bottom of the mousepad.
Here, you can see that it's actually pretty high quality.



The only bad part is that the corner will peel with heavy use.
It's really nothing major, but it irks me a little bit.



Size

I'm used to big mousepads. I use a gun cleaning mat for a mousepad.
The size was a little small for my preference, but it was totally usable.

I've taken some pictures to depict the size of the mousepad below.





Hand Grenade for scale


Conclusion
For only $1 with FREE shipping, this is a must have. It's one of the only impulse purchases I did not regret. Quality is great, and with gentle use, this will last you a long time. 11/10 on my value scale.

[Υoshi]

Looks like a good product, I won't even consider it a sale since its been $1 for months now.

[Mahoneys]

Looks really good, going to buy one right now :)

I remember 2 - 3 years ago they had a coupon to get the mouse pad for free. I took advantage of this so I made myself a custom mouse pad and I still have it to this day.

I don't know if it's the same quality but this thing is fucking durable.
