While this wrist pad is great, it wasn't the right height for me and ended up getting returned. But ended up purchasing the same brand, same material, just taller. It is a rubber wrist rest, with a thin material on top. It would be great for a laptop or a low keyboard, but not for mechanical keyboard. Read more
I really like the design of this wrist rest. It fits the Apple keyboard perfectly and is thin enough to fit right up to the bottom edge of the keyboard which makes typing feel natural and effortless. the description is exactly what you get, no fluff, no lies. Despite being so thin, it's actually very comfortable. The bottom surface sticks nicely to my desk. I got the Grifiti wrist rest* for my Apple magic trackpad too. It's the perfect size as well. I highly recommend these pads. Delivery was on time. Packaging was professional. Definitely going to need to order some more for our office. * Grifiti Slim Wrist Pad 17 New Improved Model for 2013 With Black Nylon Surface and Non-Skid Neoprene Base Wrist Rest for Apple® Mac Mini Wireless Keyboard and Magic TrackPad and iMac® Wired USB Keyboard, Anker, Rupoo, IOGear, Macally, Logitech, GMYLE, G...

Many new keyboards have low profiles these days and "old style" wrist rest simply put our hands too high to type comfortably. I got the new version of Lenovo keyboard with trackpoint and ran into this problem. The good part of this wrist rest: - the height is just right for these newer low profile keyboards - the width is good too so it should adapt to most people's placement of their wrists during typing - the non-slippery bottom works well to keep the wrist rest in place The not-so good part that takes away a star: - the edge is a bit rough that could be annoying, but should not cause skin irritation/rash - depending on how gentle the user is, the edge definitely will frizzle Overall the wrist rest serves its purpose working with low profile keyboards. There isn't other alternative (as far as I can find) so this will do for now. Update 2015/01/10: As mentioned, the edge has frizzled more with usage. I found that flipping the non-slippery side up is a great workaround. I actually enjoy the feel of the rubber for my wrist. In fact, the bottom edges are actually better formed/glued so it looks like it won't frizzle like the top edges. Read more

It works well. However, the strong chemical smell is truly offensive. Needs to be set outside to air out for a few days. Will not buy another one. Read more
This is my second purchase of this wrist rest. I also own the smaller touchpad one by the same manufacturer. It is perfectly designed for thin keyboards like the Apple keyboard. Thicker rests elevate the hand too much above the keyboard. This one is spot on. The working surface is smooth and comfortable; the reverse side is textured and provides reasonable traction. If you need more, you can use double sided tape to keep it in place. I take mine on the road with me when I use my wireless keyboard with my iPad for extended typing. Out of the package, there is a slight neoprene rubber smell that dissipates within a day or two. Read more
I knew buying this that it was going to be slim but when I got it, it was just too slim. I hurt my wrists because I put a lot of weight on them when I'm typing or playing games so I wanted something to put some padding between me and the desk. This wasn't enough. If you don't need a lot of padding because you don't put a lot of weight on your wrists, this is for you. My three star rating is pure my opinion based on my preference. Not my thoughts on quality. It's really nice and I'm still going to use it but it's not perfect. Read more
(Joe Sena here) Purchased this, along with the laptop keyboard pads, after pinching a nerve from 3 weeks of 10 hour days in a clenched, hunched position. Realized that the sharp edges of my desk and my laptop were putting acute pressure on my mid forearm and the heels of my hands. Combined with conservative self-care (ice, rest, etc), these helped me return to work even as the pain was subsiding. A week later, pain is gone and I'm more comfortable at my desk. This is called a "wrist rest", but to keep my arms at a greater than 90-degree angle (which I knew this 30 years ago), the pad sits right under my mid-forearms, which is right at the srp edge of the desk. Like the laptop pads, I have it hanging about 1/2 inch over the edge of the desk so it acts as "J-shaped" cushion. One important note: I suffer from contact dermatitis and psoriasis - after the fist day of use, a rash flared up on my forearms. I simply covered the pad with a cloth and the rash never returned. If you have sensitive skin, please keep this in mind before writing an unkind review...it's your skin, not the pad ;) Inexpensive and a big problem solver. Thank you! Read more
