Review title: Worst smell ever (minus 5 stars)
Product review: Do not purchase this mouse pad! The smell is truly offensive. We attempted to return the item and I was required to pay postage for a $2.99 purchase. To help improve the smell I washed it with dish soap but still the pad smelled horrific, I then placed it in the washer machine on delicate and again the pad came out smelling bad. I am upset not only with the seller but Amazon as well; this seller is selling unusable items and I feel I have been ripped off. I will take a buying hiatus from Amazon just on principle. The product is labeled Belkin so there are two possibilities it either is not a Belkin product or Belkin standards have fallen to an abysmal level.
