Since there is no way to contact RatPadz to ask them about this, I thought I would start advertizing it.
When I got my new ratpadzGS, I was blown away. it was the slickest, smoothest surface I could imagine. the tension of the mouse cord would move the mouse (a little) when you let go. But, it quickly wore down into a merely "good" mousing surface. Took less than 2 months (during which I was not working and playing way too much counterstrike). Now, the static and dynamic friction are way up in the center, but if I go to an unused corner, it feels like it was when it was new. (No, there is nothing wrong with my MX310 feet that caused this --- and, others have noticed the same thing)
Just wondering if anyone who has used and wore out a ratpadz has found an answer (as in repairing the surface, preventing the wear, or, more likely, a more durable pad that plays like the ratpadzGS)
BTW, there is no doubt that you can play better and get more frags with a good mouse surface. Especially if the static friction is low (attempted small corrections won't "jump" when the mouse finally moves).
Serious Mousers only need reply!
please don't bother to waste space telling me that you like your desk surface, or that ratpadz can't wear out in 2 months, or xyz is better but you haven't actually used a ratpadz.
