Get TWO if you have two keyboards!

I can't work without a palm rest on my keyboard. My other two keyboards have a plastic stand and a rubberized plastic stand. It wasn't until I received the SubZERO palm rest that I realized what size was. In terms of comfort, the SubZERO is up to date. It's strong enough to keep both wrists at the same level and support them despite the different pressures between the hands. At the same time, it is soft enough to let your veins breathe and avoid pressure points or pain. The cushion consists of a very resistant cushion. My desk is covered in granular plastic, and while this pad moves freely across it without putting pressure on it, it won't move an inch when a hand is placed on it. I suspect that glass or clear tables will provide just as much, if not more, benefit. Something as simple as a palm rest usually comes in a sleek and versatile package. SubZERO breaks the mold by getting you in a box tough enough to protect even a keyboard from the harshest shipping environments. Others say he seems a bit big and that's true. It's a bit shy of my spacebar, but it's shaped so I can easily hit the bottom keys. While most will see this as a disadvantage, especially considering that almost no other gaming keyboard has this height, I would like to share with you some of the advantages of this height. First, your arms and wrists are almost parallel to the board itself. This is much more natural and comfortable than keeping your arms up. Secondly, pressing F1-F4 is insanely easier, and the same goes for pressing the number keys in games. Players who use CTRL regularly will likely have a short adjustment time to the angle difference, but if you have light switches on your board you can easily overcome this. The seams are of high quality and the material feels comfortable. On closer inspection, there isn't a single additional thread in this seal. Its form and quality just scream perfection. There is one minus point and I won't even deduct a star for it. The logo is like a rubber stamp that sits just below the right hand when both hands are on the original line while typing. You don't really feel it, but I prefer to swipe right in the tens range. It also comes with a small sticker with the SubZERO Gaming logo in the text underneath. The size is approximately 2 x 2 inches. I also forgot to mention that this is not a flimsy snake pillow. It has a board under the pillow and you can let it hang halfway off the table and it won't even lean down. It's hard to get carried away by something as trivial as a palm rest, but I'll tell you now. This is a product that will make you look at high performance mechanical boards like the K70 and make fun of the standard wrist pad. I'm using a Logitech G610 Orion Red with this overlay for those who want to know.
