3M Precise Mouse Pad Enhances the Precision of Optical Mice at Fast Speeds and Extends the Battery Life of Wireless Mice up to 50%, 9 in x 8 in (MP114-BSD1)

Ive had the mouse pretty much exactly 10 months and it has gotten too worn to be seriously used, I am an avid gamer but it hasnt moved off my desk, been abused, or been spilled on, and it has small bumps in the plastic top and paint discoloration in parts where I move my mouse alot (the gray design is rubbed off creating white patches) cant really see that its worn it still looks good but the divets and bumps formed from regular use have rendered it pretty much useless for gaming. I had my last mouse pad for 9 or more years and I have gone back to it as it is more flat (It is an off brand promotional company giveaway mouse pad for a company that doesnt even exist anymore, and is more of a cloth material FYI) Its cheap and good initially but I wouldnt buy it again.

I bought this because it was made by 3M and I assumed they would put the research into developing the right one. I was wrong. At first brand new - like any surface, it works. Unfortunately, the white and grey print matrix plays games with some optical mouses. It gets stuck, and just does not trigger the mouse cursor to move. It works most of the time, but just tricky is what it is. The pattern eventually wears out and there are white spots. These areas make the mouse even MORE difficult to recognize the pattern and move. Another disappointment. I was under the impression this company knew chemistry and would produce a mouse pad that was more durable than a standard printed piece of plastic. That is definitely not the case here. Stuff still gets stuck on it, and I have to sanitize the surface as regular as the plain surface of my desk, without an $8.00 mouse pad. Actually, my desk makes for a great big mouse pad, instead. Thanks alot 3M for putting your name on a product, and charging close to $10 for a fake quality mouse pad which is just an advertisement that should probably be given out for free at trade shows.

Very Strong Odor- it has been on my porch since I bought it but the smell has yet to dissipate. UPDATE: This product is still on my porch and it STILL smells strongly of chemicals. I have been continuing to use my old ratty Mouse Pad because it has NO odor. This product also has a smooth surface.
