I read other reviews that complained about the gel product oozing out the seams. Fortunately that has not happened to me, but within a couple weeks the product permanently dented (severely) in the center where my wrist falls. That part of the pad is almost rock hard now. It is like using a book or other hard surface for your wrist. I would not buy this product again.

I used this product for less than a week before the seam split and the material inside started leaking. Amazon was great about shipping a replacement. However, that one broke down even faster and it left residue all over my desk. Amazon suggested that I try the Fellowes Gel Flex (transparent blue). So far, it is a much sturdier product. There are no seams; I hope that makes a difference in its durability.

This is a good product. It really helps with the carpel pain. The gel needs to be a little softer.

Does exactly what I wanted, but product's construction is not up to the level required to survive an elbow's weight (as I use it). Maybe it would last longer if you keep your weight off if it and just have a light wrist resting on it (careful to not lean with weight on it). I tried re-gluing with various good flexible glues but the rubber base (similar to wet-suit rubber) seems hard to match with a good adhesive - I suspect this is the problem with the original seal as well. I had the same problem with an second-hand keyboard wrist rest of the same design (assume it was Belkin as well). Now I am going to try one of the "solid clear" designs to see how they stand up (non Belkin).

Simply this wrist pad is too way stiff for my tastes. Also it was a little smaller then what I am used too.
