Review on 🖤 Glorious Full Size Gaming Wrist Pad/Rest - Black - Mechanical Keyboards with Stitched Edges and Ergonomic Design (Stealth Edition) by Jake Hill

Revainrating 5 out of 5

1.5 inch wider would be ideal

This wrist rest changed everything for me. I have a mechanical keyboard and am very happy with it. The problem was that it was too high and for me I tried several wrist rests to find the right fit. Some were too short, not strong enough, too stiff, or too narrow (depth). It's comfortable and I don't get hot on contact. depth 4 inches. For me this is huge because a lot of the breaks I had before were only about 2 at which point my wrists were right on my back trying to slide towards me. It's deep enough to rest on my keyboard and my hands stay on it. The day is excellent. It's a textured, rubberized base with a hard top that holds it to the table. It's non-slip but also doesn't have that sticky underside that collects the typical dust and dirt on your desk and becomes uncomfortable. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I think a full size overlay should be a bit wider than a full size keyboard. The reason for this is that when your hands are in the home row and the rest are aligned with the keyboard, the outside wrist of the left hand is on the edge, making it appear as if your hand is trying to slide to the left. This has been my main gripe with previous palm rests, but more in depth than breadth. To counteract this, I move it about 1 to 1.5 inches to the left. Then when I use the numeric keypad I have even less of the rest to use there. I program 75% of the time on my computer and play games 10% of the time, so it probably won't be a problem for most, especially with a "PC GAMING RACE" wrist rest, but this thing is solid. I really like it and wish I had one sooner. I was actually considering replacing the keyboard with a rubber dome for the sake of simplicity. I'm glad I decided to try a different palm rest.

Pros
  • Smooth cloth surface + foam interior (medium firmness)
Cons
  • Durability
