Customer Rating:      Summary: Optical mouse necessity. Comment: This surface is indispensible for users of optical mice. Technically, it is NOT a pad, as it is only about 1mm thick. For precision work or gaming accuracy with an optical mouse, it can't be beat. I got the version with the wrist rest, which is now in a drawer somewhere.
Durability: plan on getting a new one every 2 years with heavy use. I am on my second one.
Ergonomics: Once again, it is NOT a pad and does NOT cushion your wrist. I use mine upside-down, as the motions I make with my mouse "fit" better that way. My first version of this mousing surface was considerably larger, and I miss that. Could use a grippier bottom surface for gaming.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Best mouse pad. Comment: This mouse pad does enhance the tracking of optical mice.
It's the best one I've ever used.
I did have to augment the bottom with mild adhesive so it stays put when gaming.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Good for those who can't use their desk surface. Comment: I picked this up for my optical mouse. I'd been using the mouse for over a year without a mouse pad and it had begun to scuff the top of my desk. I bought the 3M Precise Mousing Surface to avoid scratching my desk further.The surface works ok but does not seem to be any more "precise" than my desk. It does protect my desktop, but this mouse pad occasionally slides across my desk when I'm moving the mouse. The mousing surface is thin which makes it relatively unobtrusive and makes up a bit for the fact that it moves sometimes. However, the colors/patterns that are available are not very attractive. Who wants a "puddle of water" on their desk, anyway? All in all I'd say it is not a bad solution if you need to protect your desk or if your desk surface is reflective and can't be used with an optical mouse. However, I can't recommend it for general use.
