5.0 out of 5 stars A must for writers or anyone using computer heavily, November 4, 2003

This review is from: Belkin F8E262cSLV WaveRest Gel Mouse Pad (Silver) (Personal Computers)

I am at the computer a horrid number of hours every day, 7 days a week. I had surgery twice on my wrist (not computer related) and I HAVE to have a good support. I tried several others wrist supports, and no matter which style or brand, I ended up with the wrist stiff, aching and over time this began to curtail my time at the computer. Well, I am a writer and this is not acceptable. Since getting this pad, those wrist problems have gone. It is so cool and comforting, that I can work without any pains and stiffness later.

I really loved this and the ease from pain it give me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lead???, September 19, 2005

OK folks, it's time to use a little common sense when you say something. To complain about lead without know the facts is idiotic. According to Belkin's Material Safety Data Sheet for these mouse pads, lead content is less than 0.03% lead. That means it could be (and most likely is) less than that. Lead is an element that appears in MANY items naturally, including food and drinking water! To review something poorly like this reveals how stupid you really are. Do some research and calculate how much lead you ingest yearly through breathing and ingestion before you make ridiculous claims.

I'm glad some reviewers have commented that the wrist pad has lead, and shouldn't be used by those with lead allergies or little children who might eat it.

I'm really happy with this wrist/mouse pad. I spend a lot of time on the computers at home and at work. I had a frozen right shoulder from not having good wrist support and from working with the mouse in the wrong position. I was in screaming pain about about a year. This mousepad helped by providing good wrist support which lowered the stress on my shoulder. I wore out the first Belkin gel pad, and am now on my second.

The gel pad is covered with a nice low friction material, is wide enough so that your wrist isn't stuck in one position, and is neither too hard nor too soft for comfort. The part of the mouse pad where the mouse runs wild and free is also covered with the same low friction silky material so the mouse can be moved easily. It is also cut wider at the top so that the mouse has more room to move, while your arm doesn't have to move as much.

September 2005 -- About a year and a half after I bought my second one, the second got as dirty as six week old bed sheets, the mouse wouldn't slide over it easily, and the wrist pad got almost sticky. I just bought a thrid one.

When this mouse pad wears out, I'll probably buy another of the same. Until they come up with direct mental control over the cursor, this works just fine.

OK. August 2007 -- I spilled Diet Pepsi on it and bought another one. I like this mouse pad!
