excovip Mouse Pad with Linux Commands Line - Extended Large Cheat Sheet Mousepad 31.4x11.7 inch Shortcuts Desk Mat to Kali/Red/Hat/Ubuntu/OpenSUSE/Arch/Debian/Unix Programmer 0246

Excellent product.

Tiene buena calidad y me motiva a aprender mucho. Ya que tengo los comandos de Linux día a día en frente de mi, solo le doy 4 estrellas porque los comandos lucen algo opacos

It's a cool mat, but there is a typo in one of the group headings where it says "Uesrs" instead of "Users." Once I noticed it, it became the only thing I could look at

For not using Linux in a while, this helps to jog my memory on some of the commands or when I second guess myself on trying to recall a command. It didn't really have a smell any more than even name brand mats do. I didn't smell it all when installed on the desk, but if you were to hold it up to your nose, it smells rubbery; but then again, it is made out of rubber and to be expected. It is comfortable to use and provides some desk protection. It seems to be quality made similar to other mats I have had in the past. For the price and what it is used for, does offer some vaslue for the money without cluttering the desk. Functions as a reminder without needing a book, sticky notes, or having to google Linux commands.

Two stars and not one because of hindsight being what it is -- ultimately, this was my fault for not checking the pictures posted by other customers' reviews. Had I known there was a typo on the product, I never would have purchased it. I'm going to have to position my keyboard over top of it now in hopes to ignore it. It's the same typo on the word "Users" in the "Users and Groups" section at the top of the mat. I'm hopeful that there aren't any typos in the commands themselves, but that's yet to be determined.

As a desk pad, this works nicely. The surface is smooth and lightly cushioned and works nicely for all of the optical mice I tried on it. It seems similar in weight and thickness to a similar desk pad I have that is just solid black on top, and has lasted me over 5 years, so I assume that there won't be any problems with durability. The stitching on the edges seems very secure, and shouldn't fray or cause any problems. The print quality is decent and relatively easy to read with accurate colors for Tux, but the utility of many of the included cheat sheet commands is somewhat lacking, leaving out important options or pre-requisites, listing package managers for multiple different distributions without identifying which is which, inclusion of obsolete commands that aren't (or shouldn't be) in use any longer, etc. There are also a few typos and misspellings, such as "KeyBorad". I don't really understand the reasons behind the co-branding with "DRINK" or "LINUX-A HEALTHY HYDRATION SCHEDULE". That said, it functions well and looks nice, and has become a conversation piece to joke about among my coworkers. If you want to look "techy" to people who don't know any better, or want a gag gift for the Linux lover in your life, this would be great, but as an actual cheat sheet for helping to remember different commands, you'd be better off just looking it up online than trying to refer to this mouse mat.

I like it, ive noticed a few of the commands are not correct but overall it was not bad for what I paid for it.

The only complain here is a typo on the mat, I dont know if manufacturer can send me a new and correct one.... "Uesrs"
