HandStands Beaded Keyboard Wrist Support for Computer, Laptop, Office Work, & PC Gaming- Keyboard Cushion

At work I have a wrist rest that fits on the edge of the desk - something I forced them to get since our desks were sharp edged. It's kind of firm and uncomfortable but it is MUCH better than the sharp edge of my desk.At home I've been using a gel wrist rest and mouse-pad combo for a very long time. It works well, too, and although my desk at home it rounded, it is still sharpish.I just bought a large, gaming-based mouse pad. I gave my little gel-pad to the boy. I was enjoying my new gaming mouse on my new gaming mouse pad. Life was goodIt was good, right up until I started getting a large, dug-in welt on my arm from the edge of my desk.I had a choice... take back the gel padded tiny mouse pad from a bitter 15 year old or enjoy my large gaming pad - and find something on which I would rest my wrist.After much deliberation I chose this particular cushion. It was cheap and my hope was that it would preform at least as well as my recent 'memory foam' keyboard rest, i.e. it won't hurt as bad as not having it and it won't leak gelatinous crap all over my desk.----- The real review ------------------------------------------So, I got this concave, two-sided bean bag.First, the fill is perfect for me. It's firm and supportive. Let me also point out:**The shape is different than the picture and it's a good thing!** It's shaped similar to the photo but it's more a bone shape which means you can flip it and still have a concave edge - this means you get a full area for your mouse during use no matter which side you prefer.The soft side it my favorite, although the sheer side is fine and reminds me of standard gel style pads. The soft side is so unlike other pads, though; very comfortable and it wicks away sweat during furious gaming. It's also hand washable, so that sweat doesn't fester and congeal.All in all a great purchase. Comfortable, positionable (unlike attached gel pads) and washable, this guy is very well worth the (slight) cost.

This turned out to be a very comfortable wrist rest that I can squish around to fit my wrist just right. I mainly bought it for use with my taller ergonomic mouse, but it functions great under my wrist when typing on a mechanical keyboard. I might honestly get another one just for keyboard use. It slides around fine on different surfaces (although I haven't tried it on a cloth mouse pad).Also a bonus is that it works great as a stress bean bag, or something to fiddle with that's sensory when I'm in boring meetings. It's fun to squeeze. Maybe not something anyone cares about but I do appreciate the unexpected usefulness.

I finally had to replace my gel wrist pad of 10+ years because the gel had hardened and it was falling apart. So I did a lot of searching first for a replacement. I first bought the Imak Le Petit Mouse Cushion, but it ended up being the first item I ever returned to Amazon! It was just way, way too small, and I wanted a small wrist pad. I thought about this HandStands wrist pad first, but thought it would be too big and bulky and would not fit in the limited space I had for it. However, it fits in a normal wrist pad amount of space and is supportive and comfortable. I use it the dark black side up. I did not have to take any beads out. From the beginning it felt good. It does indent a bit making a nice cradle for the wrist. I do have large hands for reference (I can palm a basketball). The one flaw with it is that it has no rubber side to it, so it slips and moves on my metal keyboard tray drawer. I had to put some blue sticky rubber matting under it to hold it in place. It's also thick at the ends, so you can bump your hand against it taking your hand on and off the mouse, but my mind has already adjusted its movement pattern. For $6 the price is very good for the product you get.UPDATE: After using the wrist pad for a few weeks now and putting that blue rubber matting underneath (see photo) the pad does not slide at all, and either my muscle memory has learned to lift my wrist a bit higher or the pad has settled a little lower, but I no longer bump my wrist against the side of the pad when moving hand from keyboard to mouse. So with using the rubber mesh matting, it is an excellent product that I have no complaints about and I am very, very picky about ergonomics.

I call this my wrist pillow, because that's exactly what it is ;)Right when I got it in the mail, I tried it out and I sighed... I sighed because it just made my whole arm feel good.I personally do not see how this pillow lifts your wrist too high.. People have been complaining about this. It acts like memory foam, or better yet, a beanbag--your wrist will sink in slightly. The height is perfect for a conventional mouse. I use the pillow with a trackball mouse, which is fine, I just have to put the pillow almost mid-forearm. Regardless, it provides the best support for my carpal tunnel symptoms/cyst in wrist issue.Everyone is complaining about the hourglass shape... Yes it is a bit hourglass-shaped, but it's so you can maneuver the mouse without bumping into the pillow. You don't have to have the pillow horizontal like that, turn it vertical if the shape bothers you that much.It does come grey on the top, and black on the bottom... or if you want it the other way, flip it, and the black is on top and the grey is on the bottom... Just letting everyone one before they complain about the color too.I just wished the "bottom" was a different material that's easy to clean. I take this to work a lot, and use it on my kitchen table. I don't want to get it dirty. I feel that if it does get grease on it, it may be harder to wash without ruining the material.I love this product so much, I want to buy another for my other wrist just because it's so comfortable!!
