Query: Gel is HARD.

I got this to replace the my current mouse pad, which is (supposedly) exactly the same model. I bought my old one back in early 1999, it is well used, has seen better days, but still has plenty of life left in it. My old one has soft gel that conforms to your wrist and flexes when you move your wrist. This one does not. It is very hard gel and has a lower profile than the older one. Technically, it does provide wrist support, but so can a brick. The mousing surface actually is softer, but that it a moot point, and it is thinner, which gives a lip at the edge of the pad. Actually, the pad is softer than the gel, pathetic. BTW, the old one was made in USA, this one is made in China. Sad, sad, sad replacement and I will be returning it.Oh, and to the reviewer that compared it to uncooked steak: close, but less rare, more well done and left on the counter over the weekend.
