This medium has a thickness of 2.5 mm and DurableStitch seams, which should ensure a safe long term connection of textile and rubber layer of FireGround.
Finally, the model Keto comes in slightly smaller dimensions (280x195 mm) and is designed for owners of portable computers, who can be easily carry this mousepad between the screen and keyboard.

Price is 21.99 euros for 1337 and FireGround, while the mobile edition of Keto will cost only 6.99 euros.
