My Wife needed a new mouse pad that had wrist support and was **cloth covered.** Bare silicone or gel is not comfortable for her. She's happy with it - and that is what matters.
I needed a mouse pad with a wrist rest as doing working from home using the mouse a lot and my wrist was getting sore. It does help and it is firm enough to do the job right.
Much more compact and just as comfortable as my old multi-part mouse pad with wrist cushion. Since it's one piece it's easy to slip into a computer case for travel.
