I bought several cutting mats around the same time, but this was the only anti-static mat I got. The mat is very flexible, supple, and it laid flat out first day. No waiting. The ground connection is a banana plug, which is not my favorite choice but does plug into the wall outlet ground lug just fine (USA standard). The white top is getting a bit stained by normal dust and mouse movement; but not nearly as stained as it should be after a year of use. My laptop case feet stick to this mat well and together they prevent any movement. The mat has stayed on the desk for over a year without any creep or adhesion to the desks 70 year old varnish. I have not dropped a hot soldering iron on it, but have set many cups of hot tea on it without any warping or deformation. This mat provides peace of mind when I touch it while standing up out of my desk chair and sitting down (this is when most static discharge zaps would be killing the computer). The mat hasn't shown 'memory' where items have sat on it for a long time and deformed the foam; just wait a few days and the indentations disappear. Another great feature is that the foam of this mat buffers my hard typing without sending every keystroke through the floor and echoing around the house. This mat is the best type of desk blotter you can get!

Great product, shipped on time, packaged well. Perfect for pc, monitor and keyboard, the all fit perfectly on the mat. Excellent product, grounding cable is long enough to reach quite away distance for the desk, very pleased

This product is as I expected from my experience using this type product over my 35 years working with electronics.Pro: Pretty good price for a decent product. I would buy this product again and I would also recommend it for a home hobbyist.Con: It was shipped rolled up and is made from a rather stiff vinyl material so it presented a little trouble laying it out flat. However, it flattened out after it was weighted down on a flat surface for a while. Heating it a bit with a hair blow-dryer on a low setting helped speed up the flattening.

I'm neurotic about building PCs. No, seriously neurotic. I work on a wooden floor with my wrist strap clipped to a power supply that's plugged into a surge protector, which is plugged into the wall but turned off so that no current enters. Because, I mean, wouldn't it be hilarious if I fried myself on a cheap power supply while trying not to shock my computer?Enter this anti-static mat. Don't get me wrong, I still clip myself to the power supply, but now I clip the mat, too. The coiled alligator clip extends to about 4 feet long before it starts to pull the mat with it, meaning that your ground doesn't have to be right next to you. This frees up table space if you're not weird like me about having your wrist clipped in, too.The mat is a joy to work on. It's soft enough that cases and components sink in a bit and don't slide around, and it rolls back up into a surprisingly small package. I've been using it once a week or so since buying it, and the only way you'd be able to tell is the slight smear from when I had a disagreement with a tube of thermal paste that was sitting on it. It's very easy to clean and keep clean.My only problem with the mat is that it doesn't roll out perfectly flat, but it does settle down when weight is placed on it.There are plenty of flashier mats out there. There are $60 mats that have diagrams for various motherboard sizes and all that fun stuff, but at the end of the day, do you really need a motherboard size grid on your 24"x27.5" anti-static mat? You might, and there are certainly situations where even I could have saved a few seconds by having that instead of reaching for a tape measure, but most hobbyists don't really need that. I'd rather spend my money on the components, not the mat I build them on. This does what I expect it to, and it's cheap. No complaints.

I sew. I have a lot if electronics plugged in when I see and it seems, I create a lot of static discharge while doing so. From loose thread getting stuck on myself to man made fiber flying and sticking. Until I read up on a remedy, I had no idea that this product existed. And guess what? AMAZON! My first look was here! Problem solved! I unwrapped it (btw, came earlier than expected) put my sewing machine on it and attached the grounding clip and voila! Works like a charm. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone being bothered by static electronic discharge. So, arrived early, perfectly and darned easy to use.Thank you Star Tech!

The mat was a good size for small projects and is well made.The snap connector for the ground connection works well.The resistance is around 200 to 300 Mohm, about as accurate as I can measure with my meter. It is in the right territory for an antistatic mat.

Measured both with a multimeter and by touching a ground pin while electrostatically charged. See other 1 star reviews of people who did actual measurements.

Acheter pour protéger mon plan de travail pour faire du soudage dessoudage. Ne voulant pas mettre 80€ dans un tapis weller je me suis tourner vers celui-ci. Il a une bonne surface de travail mais il ne résiste pas à la chaleur, ce que je n'avais pas regardé. Au vue du prix je suis quand même content.PS: L'utilité de l'anti parasite reste à déterminer avec les cartes électronique d'aujourd'hui.
