Kensington Mouse Mat with Wrist Rest – Ergonomic duo gel wrist support for computer / laptop use with laser and optical mice. Anti-slip comfortable mouse mat with cool gel - Blue (62401)

nice looking and comfortable to use

Very comfortable mouse padThis is such a comfortable mouse pad to use. It may be quite expensive but my wrist is well supported and works well for my work computer desk at home and in the office.

Spending many hours in front of a PC began to cause some wrist strain. I began using an ergonomic mouse which significantly improved the pain. However, I came across this mouse mat with gel pad and decided to add this to my home office with a view to further improving my dilemma.The mouse mat itself is robust and certainly made from quality material with a non-slip base. The gel pad in particular is nice and soft; there is plenty of space on the mouse mat surface for the mouse to move around freely.Unfortunately, I found my wrist pain worsened when using a vertical ergonomic mouse in conjunction with this mouse mat, largely due to the gel pad compressing the ulner nerve which runs down the side of the wrist towards the little finger. After thirty minutes of use I was in agony.I decided to try the mouse mat with a regular mouse and found it was fantastic in providing the much needed wrist support required when the hand is in this position. The gel pad is very comfortable when the wrist lays upon it and feels quite soothing as it is cool to the touch.If you are using a regular mouse, this is a great solution to minimise wrist pain.

Good quality, mouse glides over and pain free wrist.

Quality, heavy weight, non-slip.Lovely, cool temperature.Really helping my painful wrist.

Excellent wrist support

I’ve been using an older fabric Kensington wrist support for many years. Too many years to be honest. The fabric had worn away from the internal gell and it had grown ‘floopy enough to need viagra’ according to a colleague. So I decided to buy a replacement. The model I had been using and I was content to continue re-buy is no longer available so I went for this one based on the reviews.It is much, much better than my old fabric wrist support.With a soft hard plastic covering I believe it will last much longer than myold fabric wrist support. In comparison it looks indestructible.It’s also quite attractive in design.It has a cool Star Trek Next Generation look to it in blue.The outer soft plastic is great and performs well.It is the most expensive wrist support I’ve ever bought. I think it was almost double thecost of my previous fabric support. That’s the only gripe. If it lasts longer then the extra cost is justified.Some of my office colleagues have indicated they’d like one but the company is sticking with providing the old fabric ones. I paid for it myself and I feel it was worth it.

This was almost a great product but it's let down by the fact that it comes in so many separate pieces that don't hold together well.The shape and size of the mouse mat is really pretty good but crucially the neoprene mat does not extend under the wrist rest. In fact, the mat is connected to the wrist rest by 3 very small tabs that simply don't hold when you move the mat. If only the mat had extended under the wrist rest and been firmly glued to it this would be a much better product.Also, the gel wrist support has barely enough gel cushioning. The top part of the wrist rest is probably 12mm thick but almost half of it is a hard rubber base. Only 6mm or so is actually gel. As a result it is harder than I'd expect which somewhat defeats the object of using gel in the first place.It's not awful but it's not great either and I expected more for the money. To me it looks like cost cutting on materials has ruined a generally good design.
