Product Description

The design of the 3M Wrist Rest was derived from medical technology: the gel from pressure relief cushions for wheelchairs and hospital beds and the fabric from medical tapes and bandages. Each material brings unique qualities to the finished product. The firm gel conforms but then quickly returns to its original shape, while the non-woven fabric is low friction, gentle to skin, highly conformable and reduces heat and moisture build-up.This non-adjustable gel pad encourages neutral wrist position. Exclusive gel filling and non-woven fabric provides soothing, comfortable support. Baseplate keeps wrist rest securely in place on desktops or adjustable keyboard trays.

Specifically, the technology behind this comfortable and ergonomically designed wrist rest is based on the gel used in wheelchairs, hospital beds and the fabric from medical tapes and bandages. The firm gel conforms to your wrist as you're typing, but then quickly returns to its original shape. The low-friction non-woven fabric is gentle to the skin, highly conformable and reduces heat and moisture build-up. The gel pad encourages neutral wrist position, and its exclusive gel filling and non-woven fabric provides soothing, comfortable support. The baseplate keeps the wrist rest securely in place on desktops or adjustable keyboard trays as you work.

Wrist support.......2007-05-07

This is my favorite wrist support. The gel is soft, and supportive.

Does the job.......2006-11-10

This is very comfortable and works very well. It's heavy enough that it doesn't move around or push the keyboard, as some of the other types of wrist rests that I've used have done. Yet it's cushiony while sturdy enough to provide support.

Comfort for the keyboard.......2006-03-01

I type medical reports for a living, up to 10 hours a day and 7 days a week. Without the wrist rest, my wrists would not be able to hold up. The wrist rest is the perfect size. It stays in place on the desk. The gel continues to be supportive, even after a year of working on it. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of the back of the wrist rest that lays on the desk has a horrible smell. I can't smell it while typing, only when I pick it up for cleaning. I wish there was the option for half stars - I'd give this 4-1/2 stars.

A comfortable, sturdy rest..........2003-10-25

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.
