One reviewer mentioned that the pad slips around on the desk, as well as anything on top of the pad. Has anyone else experienced this?

Everything on top moves as things normally move. The desk pad slips around a little but I have my desk up against a wall so it pretty much stays in place. I've heard you can make it stick better by whipping a damp cloth over the desk and then putting on the pad. Besides that, unless your the type to lean your whole body and Swype across, the pad won't move; it doesn't move very easily. My desk is a pressed wood with painted matte finish which can be slippery as you can imagine.

I have not experienced the pad slipping around on my desk. I imagine it would depend on what material the surface of the desk is made out of. Mine is real wood (not pressed).

My wife uses this on her "crafts" desk and has had no issues with slipping.

I don't have a issue. But I did anchor it in place so I don't move it myself while I'm working at my desk. I used clear 3M command strips in each corner. I can't really tell they're there.

I have no problems with my pad. My printer and computer holds it in place. GB NumLockMY I have no problems with it. My computer and printer sits on top. I have purchased 2 and will again. The cost is worth it.

I have been using this pad for a year now, and it has worked fine. It stays in place on the desk, and items on top of the pad don't move about any easier than on the original desk top.

Mine never did, but I had two computer monitors on top of it and some paper under it (schedules).

Not that I could notice. This pad doesn't stay put very well. Every time I walk by it moves. You might want to try something else. I now use it for a pad under the puppy food.

It is a great desk pad. I have encountered no problems cleaning it. It has a matte finish that does show anything oily immediately but, a damp cloth removes everything nicely.

I have found that tucking it under edge of desk at one corner does the trick. For he most part it doesn't slide around much and certainly not when seated. Great mat and good value!

Mine does slide a little. I keep one corner anchored. I imagine it would depend on the smoothness of your desktop. It also manages to get dust under it. However, I love this desk pad and would buy it again.

I have this on an adjustable sleep number bed. The mattress is thick plus the head and foot goes up and down. I have never had a problem with the pad slipping off. Hope this helps

Yes. The red part of the pad is raised. I still have to use a mouse pad along side of the desk pad..

I just tested mine. It's well-padded on the sides. Not so much on the bottom. I don't know what brand of laptop you use, so I can't speak to that with complete accuracy. It will depend partly on the thickness. But I use a similar laptop, and never had a problem with mine.

So far I have not had any issues. I love it, it works great for me. I have a 17 in laptop and my laptop site perfectly on it. It also has the mouse pad which works great and is very sturdy.

Problem.... I spoke too soon. Used mine again this weekend and it definitely does slip. Sorry for the bad news update. It is possible to slip it back, just takes a little messing around with it. Too bad they don't fix that problem, seems like it wouldn't be difficult, and then the product would be awesome.

Great point! I have a Logitech Ultrathin Illuminated Backlit Keyboard, which has rubber non-skid pads built in. This prevents sliding. If your keyboard has none, I am sure you can purchase stick-on pads for yours at a local hardware store. The benefits of a large mousepad are worth the "user modification" of your keyboard, in my humble opinion! I hope this helps.

Yes. When shopping for a cover it seemed Fintie had deeper grooves than other pads. I have had no trouble with slippage. I can highly recommend this product.

My husband uses the pad and I don't find that it moves around. I like them very much.

So far, I've moved mine twice with no noticeable residue. I suppose it wasn't meant for permanently fixing the pad to a surface, just semi-permanently.

yes, it sounds like a defective unit, it shouldn't slide as you've described it. good luck.
