Story of 3 chambers.

I started with a fabric palm rest at first, very comfortable, but within 4 months sweat started to form on the left side of the palm rest and an unpleasant odor developed. And it was also starting to show some discoloration. In general, after a while I didn't become a fan of the material. Then I went for a leather wrist rest, which was great. It didn't absorb sweat as much as fabric, so odor wasn't as much of an issue. However, during the summer days my wrist stuck to my skin, after a while it sometimes moved the rest after I took my hand off the table. Despite these minor inconveniences I would 100% keep it as part of the setup but it was made for a Full 108 keyboard and I only have a TKL keyboard so the sizing was wrong and bothered me aesthetically. So it had to be dispensed with. Looking to the future, I decided to try a new type of material. I spent about 20 minutes looking for the best deals and different types of coasters and came across this wooden coaster. And it was from the same company I recently bought my first fabric from. At first I figured the tree didn't sound all that comfortable for a wrist rest, but curiosity got the better of me and I took the plunge. don't like it but I certainly liked it) touch unboxing process along with a nice little branding sticker. As for ergonomics, it's surprisingly comfortable. I was very skeptical after taking it out of the box when I saw that it was almost solid wood with rubber feet and an ornate outline on the surface. It took a little getting used to the feel of the others as the material is denser and heavier. A thick and carefully applied coat of stain gives the wood a beautiful smooth and smooth black finish that only gets smoother and smoother over time. And after a long day of office work/gaming/walking/web browsing etc., sweat or dirt can be wiped away with little to no effort. So this fixes a lot of the issues I had with my previous palm rests, but also offers a bit more support and even looks stylish for my taste. This is the one I highly recommend, but be aware that it will take around 2-6 days to break in, so transitioning to this palm rest will be difficult at first. (โ— ๏นโ— โœฟ)
