 FINALLY Something to help for laptops! August 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have to disagree with Mr. Fuller. I bought my first one on Skymall and was AMAZED how comfortable this is! Yes, it does get warm after 2 hrs. but I take off for 2 min and it is cool again.. My HP heats like crazy and wrists get fatigued after hours of typing. The gel cushions the wrists and I don't have the soreness now I used to have at the end of the day. The dust on the top, just rinse off..this IS a gel. Gels do that! Can't get away from that due to material used. No smell with mine. Came to Amazon to shop prices, as took to office and now, mine missing. Have to order dozen for other employees so mine will not come up missing after lunch! I also bought the other one made by same company. It makes wrists sit higher and when traveling and tables lower, this one fits the bill. I like the different colors in both items. Got the grey lycra for travel and the green gel for office..am on watch for my missing green one! I think this product is the one missing in the tech needs! Good price. Congrats to the inventor.
 Sufferers of "Sweaty Wrist," look elsewhere! August 6, 2008
I had been looking for something like this for a while for my Toshiba Satellite A205 laptop, which gets hot right beneath where I rest my wrists when typing. I spend a lot of time at the computer and it seemed like I had developed a permanent case of "Sweaty Wrist." No fun when you're trying to concentrate and be comfortable. I tried a wrist rest for a regular desktop keyboard but it was too thick and left my hands up too high for comfortable typing. This product seemed like it could be the perfect fix.
It's not.
First of all, the material it's made out of is sticky. Even when it's cool, it's sticky. That's exactly what I don't want, sticky. It was like putting my wrists down on someone else's sweaty arm. Lovely.
Because it's sticky, it picks up lint and dust super fast. That's all well and good in an air filter, not so much in something I'm going to potentially leave my hands on for hours a day.
Does it actually keep your hands cooler? No way. I used it for about an hour to make sure I gave it a fair shake and was noticeably more uncomfortable with it than without it.
I use a wireless mouse with my laptop, but if I wanted to position the wrist rest so that I had access to both my track pad and the buttons, I couldn't, and I don't think that my laptop's layout is so terribly uncommon that this wouldn't also be the case with many other laptops. It would have helped if front edge had been shorter than the rest of the pad, too, as it obstructs the use of the space bar. Again, I think I'm a pretty normal computer user, so I imagine all these problems would happen for other people, too.
Lastly, this thing smells. It smells bad. Not in a "this product is so bad it stinks" way, but in a "yuck I want to be sick" kind of way. So, that's strike three. Or strike five. Or strike ten, I don't know, I've lost count.
The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is because it does elevate your hands to a more correct typing position. You could achieve the same thing with a sock, though.
My solution? So far I'm doing pretty well with a couple of layers of neoprene. I might also try making something out of that polyester fabric that is so popular in workout clothing right now, Stay-Dri or Dry-Star or whatever it's called.
So I guess I've been clear enough: this product is lame.
