I have always used wrist rests. However, this one is the best. It fits perfectly and is the right height, smooth and comfortable. I have a laptop and at home am using a computer desk made for a desktop (pull out keyboard table). Anything for comfort and wrist ease. Highly recommend this product.

All the other reviews for this product are glowing yet when I gave it a whirl yesterday I was less than thrilled. I have had a wrist support mouse pad that cost me roughly $15-20 since 2006 - that thing has served me well and has gotten some serious use. The only reason I replaced it was because it was falling apart from over use and I wanted a bigger surface area for my mouse pad.

The wrist support on my old mouse pad was fantastic and the wrist support for this product is pretty good as well. So why did I give it one star?

After working for 30 minutes my wrist started to stick to the gel-like material and it became extremely uncomfortable. I couldn't continue using this wrist guard because my wrist would stick to the support as I moved the mouse. My office is climate controlled so I could only imagine using this at home in the summer... After a full hour of use for the first time since the spring of 2006 I was using the mouse with out wrist support.

Now I need to buy some under-armor like fabric (which was what was on my old mouse pad to wick away any sweat and dispurse heat from my wrist under prolonged use) and create a cover for this wrist support. You may think, hey that's a silly point - why give one star because it doesn't preform well under prolonged use. Well the point of wrist-support is to protect your wrist from carpel-tunnel due to prolonged mouse use so the product fails to achieve its intended design. I'm disappointed that I need to go an extra step and shell out another 10 bucks to obtain the material to make the product usable.

Works just as I needed...very happy. Has nice flat black color and stays right in place without being sticky on the bottom. However it is not a "Fellowes" brand as noted in the technical details. Seems a little shorter in height than most, but for the price its an A+.
