The mouse pad is USB powered and can plug directly into your computer for convenient power. The LEDs are plenty bright but since they are aimed towards the sides do not become distracting. When using a Logitech MX Master mouse I had no issues with tracking and the surface felt extremely smooth and precise. The only thing missing from this mouse pad is a strain relief for people who prefer a wired mouse.
Overall this is a great mouse pad, especially if you are looking for one with LED accents.
