| The 3M Gel Wrist Rest for keyboards is about 19 inches long, 3 wide, and 1 high. Even though I'm not putting much pressure on it, the product does conform to my wrist- without letting it sink in the gel. It's definitely supportive. I use an ergonomic keyboard, which has a curve built into the board where its own plastic wrist rest attaches. But I removed the plastic wrist rest, set the gel wrest as close up against the keyboard as possible, and I like it this way. My fingers hit the keys in the same way, but my wrists are straighter and on a soft surface. Someone who has a regular keyboard would be able to push the rest up closer if they want, and the support would be focused closer to the palms. (Not everyone would be able to do this, but if you use a certain kind of mouse): Since my hands do most of the moving rather than my wrists, I'm actually able to move the rest over so there's enough room for me to use it as a mouse wrist rest for my trackball mouse as well. This way, the space between my thumb and wrist is propped up and doesn't press against the bottom of the mouse and cause swelling. I find it comfortable, and it's well-made with a soft material and sturdy bottom. |
