5 stars, except for one thing
This really is a good product, and I feel that you do get something for the price premium over the cheaper no name brands. And I have owned a fair number of wrist pads over the years. I am using this at my desk to provide proper support for my wrists and tilt my keyboard at the proper angle. This set is excellent for that, but to be honest if all you want it to tilt your keyboard you shouldn't be paying more than $5 for a plastic wedge. This tray comes with two sets of feet for the tray so you can have either a 5 degree and 10 degree angle. I found 5 degrees perfect for my setup. The real standout here is the wrist rest. It is much much better than the generic ones. It is cool to the touch, has the exact right amount of give, and the (possibly fake?) leather is easy to keep clean. Cloth wrist rests always get grubby after a while, and cannot be cleaned, at least not easily. This wrist rest feels like it will last a long time, and it integrates perfectly with the tray, and just feels good. So what's wrong? Because the tray is at an angle and the provided mousepad is so smooth, my mouse slides down the pad when I type. It is annoying to see the pointer arrow drift down the monitor when I lift my hand, and sometimes I really do need the cursor to stay exactly where I left it. I could resolve this problem with a slightly higher friction mousepad, but I really do like the superior tracking and easy to clean surface of the provided pad. If only the mouspad wasn't quite so slick this set would be ideal. Read more
