Review on 🖱️ Adjustable Mouse Pad with Ergonomic Armrest and Wrist Support Attachment for Chair - Perfect for Home & Office by Malik Munns

I wanted to love this item, really. I've made similar things for chairs I've had in the past and while they didn't look as finished as these, they were far more functional. First off, let me say my chair is pretty weird. The armrests are not flat and rather thin. They are also adjustable in two axes, so have a little play. These things have let my armrest experience down through no fault of their own. So we will not count those who are against it. First, you will never have much success with Velcro. They just aren't tight enough and have nowhere to attach. Wherever you put your hand, the rest leans in the same direction. Stay in one place for too long and others will try to stay in that place by leaning left or right. After you've adjusted it a few times or only used it for a few days, the straps will come loose and need to be reinstalled. And all this also applies if you use cable ties. There is simply not a strong connection between the armrest and the armrest/mouse pad. Draw what you want. You get traffic. I broke 3 zippers trying to keep this thing in one place. I've also changed or added mounting points and that helps, but two or three screws directly on the underside of the armrest/mousepad would be the cleanest, most direct solution. No straps or zippers to make your chair look like a weekend project in an old Radio Shack backroom. And I can walk this path myself if none of my other ideas work. The palm rest fell off on the first day. Looks like they used a lot of glue but what they used didn't stick well to what they make the palm rest out of. There are no traces of glue on it, which means it just wasn't glued. However, there were a lot of leftovers on the motherboard. It took several rounds of Goo Gone to clear this area, and after a bit of scratching. mousepad. The main reason this thing exists. And that's okay. There's almost nothing wrong with that. It's functional but nothing special. What would make it special is that the rest of the package was great. If everything else was great, the mouse pad would look the same. Except for one problem. The mouse pad is flat from edge to edge. Nothing prevents a mouse from flying to the ground from the sides or front of the mat. And there will be times when all that right-to-left movement and up-and-down movement is exaggerated way up front. Take your hand off the mouse to type (you do it all the time) and it's gone! Personally, I love good quality mice, made to the highest standards from quality materials. But I don't know how long my dear mouse can last if she rides on deck a few times a day (at least!). And I didn't want to find out, so I took a sheet of plastic and cut out a strip that I then screwed to the sides of the mouse pad. Now my mouse has a fenced yard. It helps a lot. But it had to be built that way. And that pretty much sums it up for this whole department. I've changed it a bit and I'm not done yet. But no matter how much it costs, everything I make or have made should already be part of the design. Instead, you get a half-finished idea that literally looks half-baked, with all those zip ties and straps hanging everywhere and the smell of fresh glue in the air. I'm afraid I won't buy another one of these. I will build my own. It's getting cheaper and it might just work.
