Hello guys, i had multiple mousepads and multiple mouses and im still having problem with scratched mousepads. The place on mousepad where you move with your mouse most is scratched and the mouse feels slower here and its harder to move with it and it feels sticky on that place. Its circle like 20x20 cm where im using mouse all the time. Can i fix it somehow? I changed the mouse gliders, i tried different mouse and mousepad some time ago and i was still having this problem. Is there any fix or its normal?

thanks for your answers

Generally scratches on a mousepad shouldn't cause any problems for optical/laser mice.
In fact scratches should even improve mouse operation on smooth/single color surfaces.

But if your mousepad is worn down to a level, when light is starting to shine through, then replace the mousepad.
