My XT came today and I'm really not sure what the difference between the GS and XT is. I measured them both with a caliper and the GS is .273" and the XT is .279". Other than that my GS is now 3 years old and the new XT is much slicker like the GS was when originally got it. I guess the XT will stay that way for longer. I love it and will buy one for my father at Xmas.
Got my XT, after a long time of awaiting delivery. Must say I don't feel that the tracking is a precise as my 5L.
I've had my XT for a while and it's a pretty good pad, but I'm getting tired of having to bend it back into shape every few days. It has an arch in the middle, and every time I bend the pad to get rid of it, it just ends up warping again after a while. Does anyone have some tips on how to get it to flatten out and stay flat?
I actually bought a different pad and I'm going to see how I like that one when it gets here. I don't plan on buying another XT just to get one that doesn't warp, anyway. I'd rather have to keep bending this one back into shape than spend $20 on a new one just to get rid of the issue.Buy another one. Mine started to warp like yours after a few years, after trying to bend it back like you, I gave up and just bought a new one. I like the pad enough that it's worth it to me, just to get a new one every few years as needed.
I wanna say to some of the other comments, the XT is a whole different pad than the GS, it feels completely different, it's not just thicker. It's a much nicer pad, spend the difference!

A little less than two years.
I tried removing the rubber foot supporting the center of the pad. I'll see if that helps.
If your first Ratpadz wore down in a month then it was a GS, not an original or XT. The XT is much more durable and I don't see any signs of wear on mine after two years of use. The XT is also about the same size as the GS.I bought what I think was one of the first run of Ratpadz (6? years ago. Still have it too for some reason) and it ground down to smooth in a month and my mouse started skipping like crazy (strange that a smooth surface compared to textured would do that since the mouse worked fine on my desk.)
Anyway, recently got a GS and it's holding up better. I've only had it for a week and, while under light I can see an area of wear developing, it should be a while before it's completely gone. Considering getting an XT but if it's much bigger than a GS I don't think it will fit on my desk.
Any hope for that larger pad that you hinted at a while back? My dream mouse pad.
I'd buy a larger one as well. I'm willing to pay ~$30. Thanks for considering it Kyle!
