I had never used a gel wrist rest system: in fact just use the mouse as usual, it is the gel that settled around the hand or wrist for comfort which I I spend more !!!
I wondered if it was an accessory "marketing" but not more, AC has a real purpose.
In terms of texture, no worries, ca slides alone. Under the carpet, remove a protective plastic to let appear a "stick" surface that resembles marshmallow stabilized shiny black gel :)
