Purple Gel Crystal Flex Rest Transparent Mini Wrist Rest Review

I use it as an elbow rest because I have an 'L' shaped desk and the mouse location greatly affects my elbow. I give it a four since it does relieve the pressure, but I am constantly reminded it could feel softer.

Suunto Observer SR Wrist-Top Computer Watch with Altimeter, Barometer, Compass Review

I have had this watch for over 3 years and the only problem I have found is the compass has to be frequently recalibrated. I have had issues with some batteries messing the calibration up. When I try to use the compass while walking in a circle it reads from 95 degrees to 243 then jumps back to 95 degrees.
I have owned numerous watches over the years but this is by far my most favorite, regardless of the compass issue.
The only thing I would change is you can only monitor the barometric pressure or the altitude. It would be nice to monitor both, though not sure if this is feasible due to the watch using pressure to monitor both. This was difficult to keep up with while over seas (the resources to obtain the barometric pressure aren't as readily available as they are here).

Wrist Pad - Black Review

Don't bother with these. The foam is very firm... much less comfortable than the gel style of wrist rests. Also, the foam outgasses terribly... there's a strong rubber tire smell from 5-6 feet away. As you sit and use this wrist rest, it's strong enough to actually make your eyes water. I'm not usually sensitive to stuff like this, but these are just too unpleasant. You get what you pay for.... What's really sad is that I ordered three of them and each was shipped from a different fulfillment site, each in its own gigantic box... what a waste!

STARTECH.COM SWS100 Anti-static Wrist Strap Review

Good for the price. Feels a little flimsy but I don't use it often (3-4 times per month) so it suits my needs just fine. Strap is a little uncomfortable/rough on skin. Clip has nice strength and doesn't come loose easy. Coiled lead is just the right length and doesn't get in my way while working. All in all a great buy!

Kensington Wrist Pillow Extended Platform, Keyboard and Mousepad Wrist Rest in Black (L36822US) Review

Those of us who spend many hours every day at a computer appreciate comfort, especially when the comfort seems effortless. That's what the Kensington Wrist Pillow provides. It does its job without calling attention to itself. Besides wrist comfort -- for lefties and righties alike -- this wrist rest is wide-format, and that feature allows an user to place the keyboard and open mousing area so it's suitable. I like the mouse on the left, while others like it on the right. Either way, it works with ease. Another feature of this Kensington model is that it has several anti-skid circles (for lack of a better term) on the base, so the whole device stays put while in use on a desk or other such surface. It has no tendency to slide or jiggle away while you're using it. In all, the Kensington Wrist Pillow does its job and offers good value.

Cables Unlimited ACC-1410C Wireless Clean Room Approved Anti-Static Wrist Strap Review

I live in the desert and have a real problem with static electricity. I shorted out the controls on a hi-tech coffee maker with a static spark as I touched it. The wrist band has been no help with this problem. It only helps with the small static shocks that sometimes happen with the ear buds from my iPod. I don't recommend you purchase this if you are assembling any circuits.

Cables Unlimited ACC-1410 Wireless Anti Static Wrist Strap Review

I purchased this product at the same time that I purchased a device that detects a static charge. If I shuffle my feet on the carpet while wearing my slippers, the device shows I am building up a charge. Normally that charge would remain until I touch something and discharge instantly. But when I wear this cordless anti-static wrist strap, I would still build up a (smaller) charge, but it would dissipate fairly quickly.

While a standard corded strap will prevent a charge from ever building up, it hampers your movement and since it's a path to ground, can even be dangerous. This cordless strap allows complete freedom of movement so you can leave your work area without needing to unclamp/unstrap yourself and without losing your anti-static protection. Best of all, there is no path to ground, so if you touch the wrong thing, you're less likely to get shocked.

Garmin Forerunner 201 Wrist-Mounted GPS Fitness Computer Review

The 205 is $30 more than the 201, but is ten times the watch. If you can afford to the extra dough, here is why it's worth it.

I bought the 201 when it first came out (~7 years ago) It was head and shoulders above the Timex product with the remote arm pod and I would have rated it 5 stars back then because it was the best of it's kind. I even used it to go geocaching.

The problem is, I have to strongly recommend against anyone buying it today - I was "lucky" to have lost this kayaking a couple of years ago at which point I upgraded to the 305. It is SOOOOO much better that I have to now rate the 201 as one star in comparison. The 205 is the same but without heart rate.

First, the 101/201 have a very unusual shape. The 205/305 is a bulky watch but the looong 201 prevented you from wearing gloves - a real problem when skiing, cycling, etc.

Second - and more importantly, the 205/305 have the SIRF Star III Chipset which means it can lock on and hold the lock better.

Imagine if you will - you're all ready to run and pumped up - whoops, you now have to wait an extra few minutes to lock your position, otherwise it cannot tell you your speed, location, etc.

My old 201 locked on far faster than my running partner's Timex (He had to hang it on a tree while he was getting ready since it often took 5 minutes or more to lock.) the 305 can lock in 5-10 seconds most days while the 201 would lock in ~2 minutes *most* of the time but occasionally would take up to 5 minutes. If you were ~100 miles away from your prior location, the 201 would take up to 10 minutes to get a new lock. ARRRGGGGHH.

Also the 201 would lose lock all the time when running in even moderate tree cover or heavy clouds. With the 305 I can even get a lock in my house most of the time.

Finally, the 101/201 cannot lock IF YOU ARE MOVING! The 305 can lock even if you're riding a bicycle. I think I've even gotten a lock while driving.

Yes the 205 and 305 cost more but with the huge difference in functionality I find it astonishing that Garmin would continue to sell the 201 given how much better the 205 and 305 are.

p.s. Don't bother with the 405. Interesting concept but not practical. Read the reviews.

I use mine for cycling and running, the direct link to see your workouts mapped on GOOGLE EARTH is FANTASTIC!!!! (the included software is far more stable than the junk Polar included with their HRM's.

Heart rate strap with replaceable battery is coded and comfortable. It's better in my opinion than the Polar products (of which I've owned three)

I'd avoid the 405 unless you really want to use this watch as a normal day to day wristwatch (check out the 405 reviews)

My only complaint is that it's easy to leave it on and run the battery down - which is a bummer if you're just about to work out. I wish there was an "auto off" feature which would shut it down if it detects no movement or heart rate within an hour or so. Fortunately, with Li-Ion batteries, as little as a 10 minute charge gives you enough juice for a 90 minute run.

3M Office Gel Wrist Rest for Keyboards ( WR302MB ) Review

I'm currently using the wrist rest to write this review, and it's providing decent support at my desk. If you are looking for a cushy rest that your wrists will sink in to, avoid this rest as the gel inside is firm and does not budge much with use. The rest slides around a bit over the course of a long day, but actually stays put better (due to its heftier weight) than some other wrist rests I've used.

As wrist support is extremely important for someone using a computer for long periods every day, I'm pleased with the purchase as it's keeping my hands off the desk. It's also flat on one side (so it can be snuggled against the keyboard), but unfortunately the size of my hands forces the rest has to be pushed back a distance.

Overall, select a rest based on how much 'give' you'd like. If firm is your style, buy this one. Otherwise, look at some of the other offerings on the site.

Fellowes 91741 Gel Wrist Rest and Mouse Pad - Graphite/Platinum Review

You'll buy this mouse pad and say to yourself, "It's not a bad pad but the elevation of the mouse with respect to the wrist support is a little low..."

Then one day you'll discover that the mouse pad isn't glued onto the plastic surface. "Hmmm...", You'll say to yourself... "I could elevate the mouse pad by placing paper under it."

And that's exactly what I did. The wrist rest and mouse pad went from annoying but usable to awesome and usable. A side effect of doing this is that your mouse won't hit the plastic edge anymore--more space to move around really. Awesome.

Razer Exactmat with Exactrest Gaming Mouse Pad & Wrist Rest--Black Review

What can I say? I paid $37 for a mouse pad and I am very happy about it. Don't get me wrong, when I received it, I asked myself how someone in good conscience could charge this much for what must cost $2 or $3 to make. But I charged ahead, cleared a extraordinary chunk of desktop real estate, placed the wrist pad and mouse plate down, placed my mouse, started a game, and WOW!

The only draw back is I will now need a bigger desk, so I have somewhere to put all my stuff (OK, work)

Targus TGK-WS Universal Wrist Strap Review

The part that attaches to the camera is particularly thin, so I'm still nervous about dropping my camera even when using it. And I'm not a fan of the metal piece in the middle. You have to be careful that it doesn't scratch your camera. But the size is good, not too big or small, and it's attractive as well. I mean, what can you expect for just $4.00? I used while taking 700 pictures on a 2-week trip to China and had no problems, so it's good overall, but if I find something better, I'll upgrade.

Fellowes 91141 Gel Crystal Mousepad/Wrist Rest (Blue) Review

The jell pad feels great but it is of no use because my mouse pointer is unstable.

I can't get the mouse pointer to stay still or to move in a straight line. I checked the cord, I restarted the computer, I checked the mouse for driver updates, I checked START, PROGRAMS, ACCESSORIES, SYSTEM TOOLS, SYSTEM INFORMATION, Problem devices and found no issues. I also ran MS Diagnostics. Nothing bad found.

I removed the mouse pad just so I could write this review. What good is this pad if it caused my pointer to go wild? Not happy.

Fellowes 91737 Gel Wrist Rest - Graphite/Platinum Review

I bought a couple of these because they were the simplest, most neutral design, and because they seemed comfortable ( (I use two, side by side, to create one long wrist rest). They seemed well made, so I thought when the first two fell apart in a couple weeks and started spewing silicon glunk all over the place that it must a fluke. So I got two more. Again, silicon glunk EVERYWHERE. Disgusting, disappointing, infuriating.

Can't someone make one of these that doesn't fall apart? How hard can that be?

Belkin F8E262-BLK WaveRest Gel Mouse Pad (Black) Review

This mouse pad is an excellent investment for anyone who uses a mouse for any decent length of time.
1) The size is more than adequate for me, I am able to go across a 22" monitor in one motion (although this will depend mostly on your mouse sensitivity).
2) The material on the top is soft and feels like a foam neoprene laptop case. Some people have complained about the friction and noise of sliding the mouse: there is SOME noise, but not more than any other mouse pad. The friction of the neoprene is higher than a desk or a hard plastic mouse pad, but I personally think it gives me more control of my mouse. Not an issue at all in my opinion, the difference is noticeable at best.
3) I haven't owned this for long, but I could foresee something scratching it (like a watch or a pen) and making the threads come up. Also, the whole thing is flexible and foam, so you don't risk cracking any plastic components if you shove it into a laptop bag. The foam bottom keeps it from sliding quite well, although I don't think that would be an issue for any wrist pad. It may pick up a little dust, but any gripping surface will do that.
4) The design is what sets this mouse pad apart. The sort of trapezoidal shape of the top part allows you to have a greater range of motion, especially compared to a round mouse pad like the Fellowes Gel Mousepad. (If you look at your hands while you use your mouse, when you go back and forth, you don't use the part closest to your wrist, the greatest range of motion is at your fingertips).
The actual wrist support is excellent as well. Belkin, either by luck or a stroke of brilliance, designed the wrist support to have an indent in the middle. The reason this is significant is because it now creates two support points for your wrist. This is superior again, to the Fellowes Gel pad (not bashing it or anything, it is just the best comparison I can give) because the gel pad is just a giant bubble, creating one pressure point on your wrist that can reduce circulation and comfort. The slight indent allows the pressure to be distributed to the bottom of your palm and an inch or two above the wrist, rather than right on the joint of your hand and arm. This may seem trivial, but if you have ever had issues with circulation while using wrist/mouse pads like I have, this one does the trick because it allows better circulation.
5) On an even more obscure note, since this mouse pad is neoprene and not smooth plastic like the Fellowes, it breathes better and therefore reduces sweating. Hopefully this point helps someone with sweaty palms or works in a warm environment :D

Overall this is the best mouse pad I could have chosen. Do keep in mind that if you use an optical mouse (if your mouse emits a red light at the bottom), there could be tracking issues and your cursor may jump around because this mouse pad is black and absorbs light differently than a wooden desk would. However, this largely depends on the quality and age of your mouse. My laser mouse has had no issues at all.

Fellowes 91137 Gel Wrist Rest - Crystals, Blue Review

I've had one for a few years now and I wouldn't trade it for any other. It's actually long enough to span the length of my dell keyboard, plus hang over enough to use with the mouse as well. I need to get another for the office because after just a couple hours I can feel my wrists start to hurt from resting on the hard desk. But I often sit for 10 or more hours straight working at home, and never feel discomfort with the gel rest. It's also really easy to clean unlike the ones that have fabric on them, and that's important to me with two young kids and a husband that use it too. I also find the fabric ones starts to irritate my skin from the constant friction against the rough fabric, and that's completely eliminated with this one.

Belkin F8E244-BLK WaveRest Gel Wrist Pad Review

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).
