Just a great mouse pad - oh I mean "surface" - mcLordHelmet, Sep 22, 2009

I bought one of these way back in 1997 and lost it somewhere along the line. I just got a new desk with a glass top and the optical mouse doesn't like that. I was so happy to find the ol' reliable and low profile 3M mousing surface. $10 might seem a little steep at first, but I think its really worth it. Love that it was available in silver which matches stuff on my desk! My sniper shots in some of my computer games are more accurate now!!!

Love this mousepad - Janey, May 16, 2009

I really like these mouse pads, I have one for every computer I have. They are really thin and the mouse moves really quickly with them, which is a feature I like. The only thing that I don't like is after time, they don't grip onto the desk anymore. The one I use at work is over a year old and I have to use a little piece of tape to keep it from moving.

The best mousing surface available - Wullaert, Mar 23, 2009

For modern optical mouses this surface is the best and very precise.
A big advantage is the very minimal thickness so that when mousing around the lower edge you mouse does not get stuck in the upward move by a thick edge.

Thin /= quality - James Robert Berg, Feb 12, 2009

I know what you're up too. You're looking for a mousepad made for optic mice. Well, the sad truth is that you'll never really get much better than a cheap foam surface pad, or maybe just the surface of your desk.

What makes the heavy soft pads better than this one supposedly made specifically for optic mice, is that the weight of the pad keeps it firmly in place. This pad is skinny and shifts on your desk frequently. This is not favorable for any application, particularly gaming. Also, the pad tends to warp and become uneven. Pads with grooves in them will cause misreadings in the optics sensors causing your pointer to skip around the screen.

Trust me, cheap, 3 dollar pads are better than this.

Surface deformation after months of use - Joel S. Bethepu, Oct 05, 2008

I bought this mouse pad several months back. The mouse pad was excellent and my cursor movement was very precise with a high-resolution laser mouse. I was happy with the purchase. However, after many months of continued use, the surface of the pad becomes deformed and the mouse pad no longer remains perfectly flat. Depending on your use, the mouse pad remains reliable and flat 6 months up to a year. After that, get a new mouse pad.
