I don't want it to damage my desk more than it already has, but what is happening? Is it melting or something? Is it just too old?

    Looks like it’s melting. Are you putting anything hot on it? Or is it exposed to the sun?

    As above. Melting. Probably shirty material that melts at slyghtly higher temperatures

    Shit material plus its prob mainly where you have your arm/hand, your sweat and pressure would also be a cause for the rubber to start disintegrating.

    That’s because it’s shitty rubber, had the same happen on a bicycle handle, just replace it

  5. Is it where you put your wrist? And the small part is where your thumb touches it when using your mouse.

    Crappy materials plus oils from your skin.

    It’s the plasticizer. Usually it’s mixed well with the material (some kind of plastic) to make the material soft. However over time they may migrate to one location. Add in oxidation, heat, friction, and you get this.

    It’s the oils either in your hand or on you. Causing cheap materials to break down

    That’s wear and tear on a shitty material. You now have micro plastics in your balls lol

    Probably some gel like substance leaking out?

    sweat and grease maybe. I had low quality mousepads before who had this happen to them exactly on the side where my arm was resting

    I had mine for a long time. Melted do to friction of my wrist and hand moving from using the mouse.

  13. Cheap shit. Get a new one, you can get whole quality desk pads for cheap.
