5.0 out of 5 stars a comfortable mousing experience, November 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 3M Precise Mousing Surface with 3M Gel Wrist Rest Blue Water Design 8.71 in x 9.21 in (Personal Computers)

I have owned at least 6 different kinds of mouse pads. This one is by far the best I've used. Have you ever slid the mouse along a pad and had the cursor stand still? This is caused by dust accumulating in the fabric. 3M's Precise Mousing Surface feels like finely grooved plastic, and true to 3M's word on the packaging, it has never clogged up. I've used mine for almost a year. Not only that, the packaging says that you can set your mouse pointer speed (from within the control panel) to fast, and the mouse will respond. I've done that, and I barely have to move my hand to get the cursor to move where I want. Someone else used my computer a couple of times. She had never used anything other than the standard mouse pad, with standard mouse pointer speed settings. She could not believe the sensitivity of my setup. Besides the features of the Precise Mousing Surface, the wrist rest has made my work at my computer much, much more comfortable. I think I was on the verge of developing carpal tunnel syndrome. But now my hand and wrist are fine. I'm doing more work on my computer than ever before, and feeling physically comfortable while doing it. If this mouse pad ever wears out (already it's performed longer than others I've owned), I will replace it with another 3M Precise Mousing Surface with wrist rest.

I bought this pad 4 years ago, along with the keyboard rest, and it still helps me up to today. I am a programmer, and after several months of work, my wrists began hurting me. The pain was so unbearable that I started to do exercises and visit my doctor. There was nothing much I could do. When I consulted other programmers they had similar wrist problems. Before it went any further I checked into ergonomics at 3M's website, and came across this mouse pad. I immediately went in to a store and bought it. I'm still programming now 4 years later, and the pain has not returned in such a bad way. I see one reviewer saying that the gel doesn't conform to your wrist. It's not supposed to, it's supposed to elevate your wrist to the same level as the device you're using and create a cushioned surface to rest it. If it conformed to your wrist it won't be doing its job. I've cleaned mine several times, and it still looks new. The only problem I would say, is that the precision mousing surface needs cleaning a couple times a year with a good cleaner to remove all dirt debris which can affect your mousing experience.

Just for the fact that it can save your wrists, I'd recommend this mousepad and the corresponding wrist rest for the keyboard.

My wrist had developed tendonitus from all the mousing I do all day at work. This 3M product is awesome. My wrist is perfectly fine now. It didn't take long for my wrist to heal and it never feels strained anymore. The wrist rest is very comfortable to use all day, day after day. I highly recommend this product to anyone who's wrist is sore/painful from mousing.
