Review on Amazon Basics Gel Mouse Pad with Wrist Support Rest for Computers by Brokencyde Greer

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Smells like old tires. Must have CANCER WARNING

This product has a good shape and the gel is comfortable. However, the mouse pad arrived with a terrible rubber tire smell. As a chemist I can tell you that these are undoubtedly chemical compounds such as phenol, benzene, carbon disulfide, isophorone, cyclohexanone and many others. And yes, compounds like phenol and benzene CAUSE CANCER. Thanks cheap producers! Eventually the compounds will be released (evaporate) from the product and it will not smell. I recommend putting in the garage and checking in a month. Others suggest using white vinegar for 30 minutes. Do this at your own risk. This can destroy the pillow.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Makes angry
