Do hybrid mousepad coatings wear unevenly, and can they be re-coated?

Yes, the coating wears unevenly with heavy use, and no, you can’t realistically re-coat it. The hard coating on hybrid pads wears down faster in high-traffic areas, creating inconsistent glide. Re-coating is not a practical fix—it will ruin the pad and your mouse feet. Just flip the pad if it’s reversible, or accept it’s a consumable and buy a new one.
