Biggest mouse pad I've ever seen with my eyes, the lighting settings are mainly for aesthetics and not high key but still beautiful, the area around the wire connector is slightly brighter than the other side of the mat, I guess it's normal for a single LED tube that goes all the way. Be sure to not yank the cables when taking it out, there's some caution text on the opening lid but it might be easy to miss it out. Satisfied with the product overall, it's only compatible with synapse 3 only so mac users without bootcamp will miss out changing the lighting functions
