Belkin WaveRest Keyboard Wrist Support - Black

This is one Hell of a product from Belkin! I speak from experience because I just equipped my entire studio with these Gel Mouse Pads, that would be pads for two PC laptops with extended desktops, a MacBook Pro laptop (my wife's), my 24" 3Ghz iMac that is used almost exclusively for batch editing of photos, and my PC desktop that I am working on right now. So that makes 4 of them in service as of this week, with the one for my PC desktop being the original one I bought more than 2 years ago, and it's in perfect shape after constant use for all that time, a testament to the product's longevity, resilience, and ability to stay shaped properly for a long, long time! I don't know about the review of May 9 here at Amazon.com that boldly states that "Belkin cheapened the product, changed it in fact" etc etc, blatantly speaking to the quality and condition of the product the reviewer purchased at that time...in fact I will dispute that claim 100% right here and now because the products that I bought this week from Amazon.com are IDENTICAL to the product that I bought 2+ years ago, they have not cheapened anything at all, in fact I would say the OPPOSITE of that reviewer, as it is my contention that Belkin is making the product better than it ever has been made up to this time, perhaps even improving its construction and feature set since 2007 when I bought my 1st one. I just don't understand how/why people blatantly, boldly write things like that which are categorically FALSE and MISLEADING to the buying public, the market here at Amazon.com which is worldwide, huge, with readers from all walks of life throughout the world...in fact it sort of shocks and saddens me when I have to contend that what somebody wrote is NOT THE TRUTH AT ALL about a product, and I am in fact doing that right here and now! Do NOT BELIEVE that review, not a word of it! This fantastic gel mouse pad from Belkin is a wonderful, perfectly constructed, made product that remains the sole product of its type that one can purchase for LESS THAN $10 here (retail being $15 or so) at Amazon.com, and I wholeheartedly give it Wavey Davey's 5-Star Vote of Confidence Award, so do not be afraid of it in the least! You can buy it here knowing full well and good that the product is incredibly well made, will last many years even in severe and constant service/use, and I am writing this right now to tell anybody in the market for such an item that THIS IS THE ONE TO BUY! I don't know where or what shape my wrist would be in without having mine in my studio to support it properly, but it surely would be in worse shape than it is right now! This thing works, and works 100% to the good for your wrist and hand's health and longevity, and it's quite simply the best thing that is available for wrist/hand support when you are toiling long, and hard at computing for pleasure or work, whatever, you know? It just works, and works WELL! FANTASTC in fact! Do not believe any claims to the contrary about how it's being made and constructed because this is the one that you should be getting if you are concerned about something lasting a long time and providing long-term use without any issues at all: this is IT folks, so believe me when I write this little review that you don't have to worry about it in the least, it's a solidly made product, with lasting attributes that will work just as good next year, and the year after, perhaps, no matter how many hours a day you use it! There, I've written what I wanted to write about it, so there's no use in making this longer or more candid than I have this time around, you just take it from Wavey Davey, your faithful Amazon.com reviewer of this great gel mouse pad, that things are on the up and up with it, it's the best thing you could possibly do for your wrist and hand, so go ahead and punch the button, hit the spot, and order it because you will NOT be disappointed, not in the least!!

I've been using versions of this mousepad for over ten years now and at this point I'll never use any other one again. I've tried numerous other mousepads with wrist rests over the years but they all have some problem or another (shape that doesn't work as well, uncomfortable or too short wrist rest, wrist rest that feels weird and crunchy, etc). Not this one. It's comfortable even after years of constant daily use, shapes to your wrist gradually over time but doesn't lose support, and is gel and not whatever the crunchy stuff is that other mousepads use. I ended up buying another of these for the office as well several years ago. No issues with slipping or any damage to the mousepad even after years of heavy use. It's amazing how well this thing holds up. The smoothness of the surface eventually starts to get worn after long term use, but it's still perfectly usable and causes no functional problems at all.

Purchased this back in March 2021 when I needed something to support my wrist as I had tendonitis throughout my right arm from typing and gaming. Was pretty great, helped offer support and I use my PC a lot since I work from home and do contract work on the side. That said, keep in mind it's smaller than you think so you may have to set your mouse on its fastest setting to play FPS games (I myself just went without the pad since it snagged a lot due to being smaller than you'd think). It also only lasted about 3 years before it completely wore down. For $10, that's not so bad. I use an MX510 and M705 so it can be annoying when gaming or working. Overall, I was satisfied for the price. Wish it lasted longer tho.

Always buy Belkin products...good quality

Simple mouse pad and wrist rest. I work IT so I'm on a computer for at least 40 hours a week. I'm also a pianist and guitarist without CTS. I'd like to think this product has played a part in saving my wrists for the last 15-20 years. I only wish they still made the same keyboard rests. These typically last me about 5 years before the center of the mousepad is almost completely worn through to the foam underneath and the fabric starts to detach from the wrist rest and mouse pad and they start to become unusable. Yes, I drive these into the ground and they take it! High quality product. On a side note, I ordered a couple of these and the last batch had one where the fabric wasn't attached correctly and was peeling off. I think that was a one-off. The item was replaced and no issues with the replacement.

La cuestión es que el ratón no desliza muy bien. la compré porque tuve que evitar presionar un quiste sinovial.

It's often forgotten that the mat you use for mousing is probably one of the most important cheap peripherals you can buy, if you spend, like me, several hours a day with your right (or left) hand resting on a hard surface. Pros: I've had several gel wrist-support mousemats over the years, but this is undoubtedly the best. Somebody has clearly sat down & actually thought about how people use mousemats in reality, & designed this thing appropriately. The gel wrist support is about 7 inches wide & contoured so that one's wrist falls naturally into the contoured hollow in the middle yet can still move around left to right without falling off the rest. The gel is not too hard yet not too soft, & infinitely better than the memory foam wrist rest my last mousemat had. The upper area of the mat splays out towards the top of its 7 inch length, to a width of 8 inches, so extravagant left/right movements of the mouse don't result in the mouse falling off, as can be seen from the image. The base surface sticks like glue to one's IKEA desk, also, so it doesn't move about. At all. A supremely well designed & comfortable mat/wrist support. I love it. I've also tried it in gaming scenarios, & the wide top bit definitely helps in some of the more frenetic gaming action. It also looks very nice, & the surface is silky smooth & my new Logitech 510 mouse likes it too. Con: well, the packaging. It's blister-packed in one of those impenetrable hard plastic packs you have to take a chainsaw to, to actually get to the product inside, but I guess I can live with that.

Ich hätte nie gedacht, das jemals sagen zu können, aber... Meine "Maus-Arm"-Beschwerden sind weg! Ich hätte ja fast nicht mehr dran geglaubt, als ich in der ersten Zeit mit dem Gel-Mousepad meinen ganzen Arm noch mehr verkrampfte, als sonst schon. Aber das ist wohl eine Art Gewöhnungseffekt. Nach ein paar Tagen gewöhnt man sich an diese Hand-Haltung (welche eigentlich die gesündere ist) und der ganze Arm wird wirklich entspannter beim Arbeiten mit der Maus. Man verkrampft sich auch nicht mehr so schnell, weil die Hand gut gestützt wird. Und nach der Eingewöhnung kann man genauso gut und schnell damit arbeiten, wie man es sonst tat. Nur eben, dass man dann nicht mehr wie früher dauernd die Arbeit unterbrechen muss, weil der Verspannungs-Schmerz größer war, als der Haufen an Arbeit ;-) - Gel-Kissen: weich, Halt gebend, angenehm = 5 Sterne - Form = 5 Sterne - rutschfeste Unterlage (ich hatte schon Mouspads, die immer mal "flöten" gingen) = 5 Sterne - robust: Ich denke, nach einer Weile könnte es an den Rändern evtl. ein bisschen ausfransen dh. der Bezug könnte sich an den Rändern nach einiger Zeit ein bisschen kräuseln - aber momentan siehts noch gut aus, obwohl ichs täglich mehrere Stunden beanspruche = 5 Sterne Insgesamt heisst das: Ergonomisches Arbeiten zu einem super Preis! Also, ich bin sehr zufrieden =) daher 5 Sterne... Meine Hand war beim Computer-Arbeiten noch nie so entspannt. PS: Jetzt kann ich meine alten Handschienen zum Ruhigstellen bei Sehnenscheiden-Entzündungen wegräumen *freu*

I have quite painful arthritis in my fingers,neck and back. To use a conventional keyboard without this support was uncomfortable in the extreme. I have recently had my leg amputated and am spending vast amounts of time on the computer. This aid is wonderful; I don't get the aches and pains I used to suffer from periods on the keyboard. I would recommend this for anyone whether arthritis sufferers or not.

Il migliore che ho avuto. Ricomprato dopo 5 anni di forte utilizzo.
