Just a slight warning to Judie; watch the wrist rests. They ‘lock’ your arm into position and make you move the mouse with your wrist only. This, as you probably know, enhances the possibility of Repettetive Strain Injury. And then who would write those fantastic reviews? (Yes…in the end I just care about me….sorry;) )

Besides my nagging; also want to say I love your site and the work you’ve done for it. You’ve helped me choose hardware several times now and I find, every time, that your comments were spot on. Thank you Gadgeteers!

Yeah, you sometimes need a mousepad if your desk isn’t optical-mouse friendly. For some reason the particular wood grain on this desk just doesn’t work with any of our numerous optical mice. I really need a pad badly.

I was just thinking about that too when I came upon this review.

I just received word that Everglide will be sending me the wrist pad that is compatible with the Attack and Giganta pads. The Attack is my favorite – so that will be the one I will be using permanently. I think it is worth the money.

Judie,

You left off the most important point. Did you send them all back – Or are you keeping one to use? You kind of suggest that they work as advertised – but would you buy one or use one personally?

I thought the point of an optical mouse was that you didn’t need a pad or any special surface (glass excepted). It seems that Everglide are trying to cash in on a market that isn’t really there.
As a side note – i have Logitech MX700 – wireless AND optical, and it kicks butt. If you are looking for this combo, it’s great. The only weird thing is that it’s slightly heavier than a wired mouse, but you get used to it. I had an old MS optical mouse, and it kept cutting out – this has never happened with the Logitech. Just my side review/0.2cents.
