Develops bubbles after a short time
So I've owned this product twice and both have developed bubbles along the mouse surface after less than 2 years, which essentially makes the product unusable. I guess it could be argued that 18-24 months is a good life for the price, but I've owned similar mouse-mats which have lasted much longer - it's a shame as this product is extremely comfortable and easy to use.Unfortunately I can't recommend it due to these issues, which seems to be a common occurrence looking at other reviews here.

develops bumps
I bought a one of these to replace an older one that had developed bumps in the middle (another review has a photo - though my mat is black so not obvious to see). After less than 5 months the same thing has happened so the middle of the mouse "grounds' like a car going over a hump. Not sure why as really a mouse is just gliding gently over it. On the plus side the wrist support is comfortable and the underside is slip-resistant making it very stable. I won't spend the money on another one but will maybe cut off the wrist support and use it with a cheap flat mat and see how that goes! Got to last longer than this.

Feels and works well somewhat expensive
I used to have one of these 10 years ago and it lasted about as long; unfortunately it did eventually wore out but until now did not feel I needed it. But I did miss it.The new one seems OK, good enough feel (fabric version) and mouse tracking is good: I found shiny versions of mouse/track-pads can be problematic even for laser mice depending on chipset. The size is OK, I would have preferred larger area but then again it would have required desk space not everybody has. Maybe different sizes would help.The gel wrist holding is good but if you did not use one before it may take a bit to get used to. I find the middle groove helps keep wrist in place - unlike the flat bump you get with other designs.Price-wise compared to unbranded competition seems to be a bit high (~2x) and would hope for lower but I guess it is slightly better designed. I do note some questions over long-term use from other reviews - so remains to be seen if this will last 10 years also.

Not as supportive as I expected
I got this as I was working from home and needed something to support my wrist as I used the mouse.Initially it felt good, but recently the gel has not been as supportive as I would like.The gel seems to have sagged a bit to much.Overall it is better than nothing as it does give some support, maybe my wrist is to heavy?Would I recommend this, like said better than nothing, but without trying for your needs this is hard, but for me I may look again elsewhere for maybe a slightly stiffer gel, not as supple as this one.

Good foam rest let down by plastic mat
Bought at the height of working from home. I had bought a previous one that was had a gel support which didn’t feel all that nice. The foam model is definitely an improvement, however the mouse area has a plastic cover glues to pad and whilst that itself is ok, over time it has developed lumps which impairs the ability to move it.

Not great, but better than most of what you'll find here
It's a bit shorter than I'd like, but I'm a high dpi user so it isn't much of an issue.*Wrist support is good - Some might find it too firm, but it softens into a comfortable shape and reforms, exactly what I wanted from a wrist support*Small size - It's a bit short in length, but I'm a high dpi user so it isn't a problem for me, but might be for others*bulge/bubble forming in middle of pad - as some other users reported, this has now happened to me after around 4 months of use.It's a decent pad, fit for purpose, but I'm going to look for one that doesn't have the plastic overlay glued on. I believe that without this addition, the pad would be near perfect (truly perfect would be making it a little longer).Getting a better pad might be a tough thing to do since I've gone through several orders from here and binned some really stinky mousepads, some were just trash. This is the best one I've found so far, but I'm going to keep looking, and use this in the meantime.

Another One
I get through so many of these items I seem to be ordering a new one almost every month. Nothing wrong with them they do the job perfectly but they do seem to get dirty very quickly. That's more likely my fault than the product as I use the pad a lot. Only complaint is that the "sticky" underneath picks up every tiny bit of dust from my desk and soon loses it's stickiness. A quick damp wipe and it's fine again although a little less sticky each time I have to do it. Must dust my desk more often!

Wrist pad inhibits mouse movement
I bought this hoping it would not slip around on the desk like my old one, and indeed it has a nicely sticky under-surface which stays put. I did not need the gel pad, and now I'm sorry I bought this one. If I'm moving the mouse around to capture a large area on the screen I'm constantly running into the gel pad before I've got the entire area captured. I've set my mouse (an Apple Magic Mouse) to the fastest tracking speed, but it still isn't ideal. I may look for another mouse pad soon.
