Upon purchasing a new smoked glass desk, I wanted a wrist pad that would be comfortable and stylish. The satiny finish of this product is smooth to the touch and adds a little shimmer to my work space; as well, it is very comfortable.

Excellent wrist pad, it was worth it, it's exactly what I wanted nothing more nothing less. It has a nice soft feel to it and can be used for a laptop or desktop. It is an attractive black for those in the office. Also I would like to note I first wrote this review March 24, 2007, I am updating this review October 23, 2009 and it is still in the same condition I bought it, no rips or tearing in the material)

I was very disappointed to learn that this product came from another company with another return policy. Not only was the shipping almost 100% cost of the item but then it came damaged and I now have to spend money to return it! I was on the phone with customer service and they would not credit without the damaged item nor offer shipping. I found Computer Brain to be inflexible with this situation and Amazon is completely out of the loop and no help.

I bought this item at a retail store primarily because it was similar to a good wrist rest from another brand which I use at work and it was cheaper than most of the others the store had to offer. Being on a budget, price played a large part in the choice. However, within about a week of use, the gel pad inside seemed to have begun to shrink up as the cover became increasingly loose and wrinkled up, too big for what was underneath. I've only been using the item a couple of months and the cloth cover has begun to come loose from the base of the pad. I guess you get what you pay for. *smirk* I definitely do not recommend this item because its construction leaves much to be desired in quality.

Once again a 'soft' wrist rest that is too hard.
It is certainly better than the hard rubber kind (they may be worse than nothing).
I suggest a wrist rest that flows like a waterbed, but I have not seen any sold for over 10 years (they really worked!)
