Anyone have any long term experience with one of these? http://www.cshyde.com/c4web/C4Ngen.htm The surface is a fiberglass weave that's been impregnated/coated with teflon. I did some homework on em and while most reports were good they were based on having the pad for only a few weeks or so. The cost is low enough for me to give an Ngen blem a try, but I'd rather have a large surface (I like a pad big enough to be used as a coaster+mousing surface at the same time). Is it cool to put hot/cold drinks on the pad without adhesive issues? All the gaming mousepads I've used have been great at first, but seem to wear out (some quicker than others 
).
Right now I've come full circle and I'm using a cloth allsop pad, since it's been the best out of all the one's I've used long term. The foam isn't too thick, the surface is quiet, and the cloth is smoother and more durable than the 1 dollar jobs from the 90's. The big teflon feet on my G5 slide nicely, but there's still lots of control. Still, it's not perfect, so I'm looking for a middle ground, a soft faced pad with a low friction surface that won't wear out in 3 months.
3m Precise surface, too much friction and the backing stretched and wrinkled.
Ratpadz original, great surface at first, but too noisy and it finally warped beyond repair.
X-trac ProHS... had very high hopes for that one. The surface was really too slick when new though, and wore out within a month, the hexagon pattern caused serious tracking problems, and the surface/foam seperated after 3 months.
The last pad I bought was a WOWpad from the local office depot, and it's the best hard surface I've used, wears well and low friction without being too slick, but the surface has no give, so it's noisy and any tiny grain of dust makes the surface feel rough.
