I would guess it would be a lot more comfortable, but would have to be thick enough to give a little. Neoprene (around these parts) is hard to get in thicker sizes. It's also expensive. I got a big piece of mini-cell from a retailer for free, so there's no comparison. If you use neoprene covered on one side with nylon, it'd probably last longer, but would be more slippery. Mouse pads look like a cheap source of neoprene, but most are just foam rubber (open cell) and are falsely advertised as neoprene. I almost swiped a really thick neoprene mouse pad from a client company of mine, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I kept imagining two of them as thigh hook pads...
