This mouse pad will wear out after a few months. I ordered 2 of these and have had them for a little over a year now, and with every day use, you can feel spots in the surface of the mouse pads where they are slick and spots where they have a slight texture left to them. The areas with texture allow the optical mouse to work just fine, but the areas where you can feel the pad is slick will not let the optical sensor on the mouse read properly. Unfortunate, with normal use, that mean the entire center area of the pad is worn out and useless while just the edges that get little use continue to have enough texture left for the mouse to read. I use these mouse pads on a glass top desk and within 20 minutes of normal use, I can look down to see the pad has rotated 90 degrees. The backing of this pad will not grip to smooth glass. 3M is a good company with normally good products, but this isn't one of them.
