I picked this one up after reading the reviews attesting to its durability. The mousing surface itself isn't that large, but it seems adequate if you're working in an office environment. I am using a Logitech Mediaplay mouse (another fine piece of computer gear that is quite durable) and the pad is essentially 3.5 mouse sizes wide, and a little over a mouse size tall. You will be fine with a smaller screen and lower resolution, but I suspect anyone with a massive monitor will have issues moving the mouse over and over.
Optical mouse seems to glide perfectly on it, and even with the limited range of motion its tracking is sufficient for casual gaming. I've read the various reviews here and the more negative ones state that the pad is either too high or low. I think it depends on your own body type. The pads are both removable, so I suggest you take the advice of another reviewer here and add a piece of paper or something under it until you reach your desired height.
The gel is firm, yet at the same time it's not painful to the wrists. For those that find it too firm, I came from a memory foam mouse pad that was much softer. Only real issue that I can see with memory foam is it gradually loses its bounce after a few years, whereas this gel probably will not.
Overall I'm fairly impressed with Fellowes, and if the rest of their products are of this caliber in terms of durability and usability I'll have to buy more from them.
As an aside, the color scheme is atrocious. If you don't mind spending an extra two dollars it might be worth getting the sleeker looking sapphire/black combo. I was tempted, but I figured that platinum/graphite wouldn't look TOO hideous. I was wrong.
I was surprised the gel wrist pad is not very high and looks nothing like the product photo. It looks as if Fellowes is trying to save money by reducing the amount of gel in the wrist pad and making it very thin. It is pratically the same height of the mouse pad. Not only does it not provide any elevation to suppor the wrist, but the wrist pad does not have much cushion and is not very comfortable.

For those of you with wrist issues (I have tendon-itis), the wrist pad may not be soft enough for you. It is too firm for me. The lower part of my palm gets sore quickly. I'm going to return this and try one of the gel pads.

You'll buy this mouse pad and say to yourself, "It's not a bad pad but the elevation of the mouse with respect to the wrist support is a little low..."
Then one day you'll discover that the mouse pad isn't glued onto the plastic surface. "Hmmm...", You'll say to yourself... "I could elevate the mouse pad by placing paper under it."
And that's exactly what I did. The wrist rest and mouse pad went from annoying but usable to awesome and usable. A side effect of doing this is that your mouse won't hit the plastic edge anymore--more space to move around really. Awesome.

I bought my last FELLOWS gel pad in 98 and since it is now 09, that should tell you enough. My last one was still in ok condition... but the gel pad was starting to shrink from old age. The only difference in the old one and this one, the gel pad is not removeable in this new one. I have a laser mouse and really shouldn't need a mouse pad. I use one anyway to keep from scratching my desk and for the wrist pad to protect my hand from strain. You can trust anything sold by Fellows. I have many of their products around my desk. Always happy with them. They are priced fairly also.
This is a Great Convient Product that Really Supports Your Wrist While Surfing the Internet or Amazon.com for Hours at a Time. This Product is Well Made and is Well Designed to Reduce Strain on Your Wrist and to Prevent Fatique. Both of the Pads Come Out So That you Can Clean the Base and Underneath. The Mouse Pad Area Itself is a Little Limited in Size But the Firm Wrist Support Makes Up for It. A Great Product from a Well Known Accessory Company and a Great Online Retailer...Amazon.com !!
