I have been using one of these since about a year now. Excellent mouse pad for the price. After all this time, there are clear signs of use and wear, but it is still holding up pretty well. I cleaned it once in warm water, and that seems to be the best way to keep it nice.

Artisan mouse-pads are without a doubt some of the best mouse-pads I've seen and used. I find the SteelSeries QcK inferior in comparison to the standards that Artisan throw out. They last longer too!

This is a great mouse pad, It's like the Filco of mouse pads. I was using Steelseries pads for years before this and you can really tell the difference in quality. I'm also one that always goes through mouse pads really fast and this one is holding up really good so far. Most people were buying them directly from the Artisan site and getting them imported but it's been down for a month or two. http://www.gup.co.jp/

I got them directly from Japan, same as cmh. Still have the L pad as backup when I eat through the one I'm currently using.

gup.co.jp is not working for more than a week now to me. I think it's been replaced by the one I put the link before. It's the new artisan website and unfortunately it's not in english at all
