Dimensions: 10" x 11"
Color I bought: Graphite w/ dark blue mouse pad.
Mouse pad removable/replaceable?: Yes

-The mouse pad is great for what I need, so I gave it my best recommendation.
-It doesn't take up that much desk real estate when compared to my keyboard or monitor, which is a good thing when in college.
-It's great for my carpel tunnel that I have just found out I have. I'm a computer science major and I have to use the computer more than most students. The hard back surface also allows me to do mouse activities on my lap instead of on the desk.
-When the soft surface becomes tiring, I can just turn the pad around and it's out of the way. Only my roommate complains about using it, but mostly he's jealous.
-One recommendation I would put out is that gamers who use optical mice might want to get a 3M mouse pad to replace the pad on the board so that the mouse tracks a little better on games where you might have to move the mouse quickly.
-Anyways, the best mouse pad out there and the best mouse pad I have ever used.

This review is from: Fellowes Easy Glide Wrist Rest and Mouse Pad (Personal Computers)

Thanks to a major flare-up of CTS recently, I found myself in the market for things to ease the stress of daily tasks. I traded my mouse for a trackball, but the angle was still rough on my wrist, so I invested in this item, and within minutes I felt a difference. My wrist rests on a well padded pillow. Mouse users should note that this pillow area swivels easily so you're not always having to readjust your wrist. It holds my hand at a perfect angle for avoiding more damage to the carpal tunnel as well as for using the complicated trackball system I've installed.

The only drawback I see here is that it's very large for my desk as it's set up. I have a shelf which holds keyboard and mouse, and it rolls out for use and back in when I'm finished. On the pad, the trackball is just a bit high for complete clearance so it scuffs the bottom of the desk. And when I'm using it, I have to pull the pad up over the lip of the workshelf in order to have free movement for my fingers. I don't see this being a huge drawback for me, but it bears thinking about before you invest. Personally I think it's well worth the bit of extra trouble not to have numb fingers or pain in my arm all day.

Assuming this item holds up to heavy use, I'd say that it's probably one of the most useful things I've purchased in ages.
