Great quality and consistency across the pad and still waterproof! This is not the fastest pad ever made but is much faster than the original and leaves you with a solid amount of control for small movements and has barely any initial friction. My one and only gripe, albeit small, is the stitching is very slightly above the pad unlike the original. Leading to the mouse experiencing a mild bump when exiting the pads surface. Overall if you are into faster paced games and want a waterproof pad this is a no brainer.
