Smells like old tires. Must have CANCER WARNING

This product has a good shape and the gel is comfortable. However, the mouse pad arrived with a terrible rubber tire smell. As a chemist I can tell you that these are undoubtedly chemical compounds such as phenol, benzene, carbon disulfide, isophorone, cyclohexanone and many others. And yes, compounds like phenol and benzene CAUSE CANCER. Thanks cheap producers! Eventually the compounds will be released (evaporate) from the product and it will not smell. I recommend putting in the garage and…

Pros

Cons
  • Makes angry

Relieved the severe wrist pain I was having with a foam pad.

I bought this to replace the memory foam pad. I've had a gel pad for many years, but I've worn it down to the point where I've left marks on my wrist and forearm from rubbing it. Being a total curmudgeon, I bought the cheapest gasket I could find. After all, a pillow is a pillow, right? After using the new pad for about two days, my wrist started to hurt terribly if I used it for more than a few minutes. It was like the weight of my hand resting on a dull knife. Going back to the gel eased my…

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

3 years use. durable, easy to use, high quality

There appear to be a few reviews on this product, but many appear to be based on free or short-term experience. I have had this mouse pad for over 3 years and use it daily.

It might not look cool, but it works very well. This mouse pad in the photo is also 3 YEARS old. no scratches, no stains, no distortion, nothing. This is a durable…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • unreliable

Brilliant. The palm rest has become a bit stiffer.

Cheap and it's a mouse pad. Great. The palm rest is a bit stiffer than I would like. From the perspective in which I use it, I find it really uncomfortable. This is my personal opinion and maybe other users don't have the same problem. My problem is in the design. The mouse pad section keeps curling around the corners. I've tried putting it between two books overnight and the pad still curls up. Sure, this mouse pad is thin enough to be pressed down easily, but it seems odd that the product…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Not everything fits
