This new pad boasts a new texture called FineCellR. This texture is much finer, hence the name, and more densely packed than the texture molded into its predecessors. This creates a lower coefficient of friction and ultimately allows for smoother more precise mouse movements. I’m not going to bore you with a bunch of unscientific, meaningless tests. Overall I must say that I haven’t noticed a measurable difference in the performance of the new texture from my previous attack pads texture, but it is nice to know that Everglide is striving to perfect its products.
