works fine... smells really bad
(3 out of 5) by A. Jacobs on Jan 30, 2007I 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.

Getting my Ergonomics on Keyboard Style
(5 out of 5) by Wireless Mike on Aug 18, 2007I 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.

belkin wrist cushion is a hand-saver!
(5 out of 5) by J. L. Abbate on Jan 4, 2007 (C'ville, VA USA)i have CT and entrapped nerves in both elbows that affect the nerves in my hands, and without this piece of absolute genius, i couldn't be on the computer every day like i have to. there should be one of these attached to every keyboard - as a standard.

comfortable & help with wrist support
(5 out of 5) by P. Nguyen on Jun 22, 2008 (Los Angeles, CA)works well. user(s), however, should position their hands, chair height, lumbar support, take frequent breaks etc, for optimal ergonomics & minimizing repetitive injuries.

Fell apart after less than a year of use
(2 out of 5) by David Troup on Apr 23, 2008 (SAN FRANCISCO, CA USA)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.
