I have to agree with the lady about trying to get some work done with a warped mouse pad. Everything she states is true because I experience the same event. I have not gone through four in a year but I have gone through 2 in three years. The second didn't last as long as the first one and had to be thrown out because it was leaking so badly. I really like the way the gel pad supports my wrist when mousing but the durability of the product is sub-standard. I do not think that research and development testing these products for endurance. Maybe they plan for them to deteriorate within a year so the consumer has to buy another. Well this consumer is over it and I will go back to using a hand towel as my wrist rest for the keyboard and I will just get a regular cheap mouse pad for mousing. Sorry Fellowes, I really like your office supplies but the gel products are not working for me
