The Vantec Spectrum Mouse Pad is 12 mm thick, which may or may not be suitable for some people. At the back of the mouse pad there is a 2-position ON/OFF switch and a plug that powers the cathode tubes. The entire bottom of the mouse pad is covered with rubber foam which prevents the mouse pad from moving when placed on a flat surface.

The bunbled USB cable measures approximately 140 cm and should be long enough to reach from the back of the case to the front in order to power the cathode lamps. Consumers will need to decide which area on their desk is most comformtable for the location of the mouse pad based on the power cable length.

The installation of the Spectrum Mouse Pad is very straightforward and can be completed in less than 10 minutes. Vantec includes a easy to follow reference diagram to assist with the installation. One end of the bundled cable plugs into the mouse pad while the opposite end plugs into a spare USB port. The cable is a standard pass-through and provides 5v from the USB port to power the mouse pad.
