Ive put books on it over night but it hasnt helped much. Its really starting to bug me; do any of you guys have any solutions to fix this problem? Should I iron it? Picture: http://imgur.com/VWuVkHk Many thanks Solution put another piece of cloth on it and the iron it. It will be flat in no time. Worked for me Sort by date Sort by votes

I had a similar issue with a large mouse pad (Razer product) when I purchased it and this is how I sorted it out. Upvote 0 Downvote A

Mine (Steelseries QCK mini) is now flat. Upvote 0 Downvote

Jan 12, 2013 25,412 973 115,440 My Kingston Fury XL mousepad wasnt quite as bad, as they rolled it really well, but it still curled on the edges. Use and time were the two best things for it to flatten out (perfect now). Leaving it flat in the sun helps alot, as does putting weight on one end and pulling it slightly taught before putting weight on the other end. Upvote 0 Downvote A
