3.0 out of 5 stars works fine... smells really bad, January 29, 2007

I just got this, and it is a fine pad. However, this thing smells like S***!! Its not a random smell it has got that industrial polyester smell, but it is really bad! It gives me a headache just being close. Rinsing it under the sink helps, but it still smells aweful and im going to try the washing machine.

Haha i swear to you im not making this up... i just got the belkin mousepad too...same stench!

maybe the other brands have this too, but just be warned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting my Ergonomics on Keyboard Style, August 18, 2007

This review is from: Belkin F8E263-BLK Wave Rest Gel-Filled Cushion Wrist Rest Pad (Black) (Personal Computers)

I ordered this product after experiencing wrist pain from using the computer at work. Being a geek, I am in front of the computer at home too and wanted something to prevent pain from occurring at home too. This is a great product that is very comfortable. It is very stable on the desktop (no sliding around) and has very soft and comfortable gel.

A few notes on things I noticed on previous reviews:

- The wrist rest does have an odor to it right out of the box, but in my case I had to put my nose next to the wrist rest to smell it. Also, it has never made my wriste smell from using it.

- The wrist rest is asymmetrical. This has never been a problem for me, and my wrists do not sit unevenly.

So, in a nutshell this product serves its function very well; I recommend it to all.

This review is from: Belkin F8E263-BLK Wave Rest Gel-Filled Cushion Wrist Rest Pad (Black) (Personal Computers)

Update to below: Against my better judgment, I bought a second one of these, thinking that perhaps the first one had been defective. The new one didn't even last a month before it split open and spewed sticky gel gunk all over my keyboard and desk. I won't make the mistake of buying another one, they are poorly made.

------

Why can't somebody create a gel-filled wrist rest that holds up?

I bought the Belkin wrist rest pad to replace my previous one (3M) which had fallen apart. All I do is rest my wrists on it while typing. I don't squeeze it, touch it or abuse it in any other way. Yet in less than a year, the outer covering split open along one of the seams and the inner material started coming out. By the time I realized it, I had gummy gel bits all over the place, including inside my keyboard where they were making keys stick. It took me a couple of hours of unpleasant effort to "ungunk" my keyboard.

Not recommended.
