Wears out rapidly!

I bought this 3/18. By 6/18 it has worn smooth and is useless as a mouse pad. In the past I had used the "3M Precision Mousing Surface" which is no longer available. This cheap mouse pad replacement is not even worth the money it costs if it only lasts 2-3 months.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

New Version worse than Original

Like several other reviewers I have used the original Precise Mousing Surface since its introduction. I recently replaced my old mat after nearly 10yrs of fantastic performance with the MP200PS, thinking it was an updated version. What a disappointment!
The concept of the original Precise Mousing Surface was that it had microscopic pyramids that allowed the mouse to glide across it effortlessly, allowing secreted oils from the user's palm to wick away from the points preventing accumulation on the mouse gliding buttons/pads, so the mouse glided smoothly. I probably cleaned the mouse pad once a year despite roughly 10+hrs use every day. The reason I replaced was the sticky underside had lost its grip so the mouse pad started to move around on the desk.
As an IT reseller I used to include the original Precision pad with every installation, users loved them.
The new version clearly lacks the same ground-breaking design and feels no better than any cheap pad. Gunk accumulates quickly, necessitating frequent cleaning of the pad and scraping of the Teflon buttons underneath the mouse (old MS Mouse). The only upside is this one grips the table well.
Why do companies create something fantastic, cheapen it later ... yet still charge the same?
I'm in Australia so I'm not going to phone the US to discuss, you can contact me by email if you want.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great enhancement for Magic Mouse

As a graphic designer this mouse pad really helps with my apple magic mouse, smooth and precise movements. I only wish there was a larger size, perhaps 4x as large or the ability to seamlessly tile them! LOL
I would recommend this to a friend!

Super practical mouse mat
on October 16, 2024
Posted by: sidhoah24

Still the most practical mouse mat I’ve found. Glides well, easy to take with me, just stick to the laptop lid. Only a couple of mm thick so feels the same as using it on the table. Doesn’t shift about on the desk.
The downside is that it wears out pretty quickly. I go through about 1 or 2 a year, even with PTFE pads on the mouse. It also accumulates gunk easily on the top side… but this is easily cleaned away with some isopropyl alcohol so doesn’t bother me. So far, I haven’t needed to clean the bottom of the mat.. but I’m only taking it to my office.. not using it in cafes or public spaces.
