A very functional and practical product. The gel pad works very well and adds comfort to the wrist. The blue color I opted for is catchy; adds a bit of a flair.
The base is stable (it doesn't slide around) and the wrist rest is comfortable but I took off a star since my old optical mouse had response issues until I lightly scratched up the surface. I then took off another star since the edges of the pad significantly curled up until I used super glue to keep them down. I took off one more star since the pad is hard which makes it noisy when I move (and especially lift and drop) the mouse.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stays in place and does not slide around the desk. It is one continuous piece and does not have stitching that will come apart after a short time.
