Performance: 
Kenn:
Like any mousing surface, the Everglide isn't the end-all, be-all solution, but as we found, if it works for you, it does its job admirably (and it'll do it for longer than any mousepad you'll own). For those of you using worn-in mice, the EMS worked as well if not better (in some cases) than a 3M PMS. The manufacturer also claims it won't break, chip, fade, or crack, and after dropping it 3 stories, we believe them.
Innovation:
Thresh:
Well, it's a mousing surface. If you're not putting holographic pictures of the Lara Croft on them, you've got to do some innovation to make your product stand out. Being completely rigid was a plus, but we have to admit we never thought a cutting board could be a good mousepad! We would have given it a 4 (or higher) for innovation, but the fact that it's butt-ugly was a big downfall. BloomingTree productions has noticed this, providing Everglide versions with designer styles and colors. Wish we could have gotten a hold of one of those!
Comfort: 
Thresh:
The ease of which the mouse slides across the surface is good. The height and the roughness of the edges are not. With a little sanding, the edges can be tamed, but this board should probably go on an Ultra-SlimFast diet before it reaches its ideal form.
Price: 
Kenn:
The standard Everglide is 8" x 9 ¼", and sells for $9.95, and the 8" x 15" Attack pad sells for $14.95. Compared to a standard mousepad (anywhere from free to $20 depending on how holographic or photogenic it is), it's definitely not bad, especially since it's a lifetime investment. The After Dark mousepad I got free with Windows95 wore down to the point of being completely frictionless after only 4 months…sigh, and we all know how often we have to replace the 3M PMS.
