Review on πŸ–₯️ Enhance Your Typing Experience with 3M Gel Wrist Rest: Comfortable, Durable, Antimicrobial, 19", Black by Dragan Nelson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I've used two of these in two years.

For two years I have used two of these wrist rests in parallel to cushion my forearms and properly align my wrists, which has definitely reduced wrist stress and resulting pain. Additionally, the antimicrobial synthetic leather covering the gel-filled pads isn't smelly but isn't breathable, meaning it can feel a little sticky on humid days. Years of daily use began to bleed white gel material all over the seam where the faux leather meets and adheres to the heavy rubber base. Gorilla tape offers only temporary relief and is uncomfortable, so it's a losing battle. I may be unrealistic about the life expectancy of these pads, especially after 2 years. Finally, with normal use (and while the gel is still sealed in the pads) the gel tends to push out and bleed out of your pressure points, resulting in a much thinner effective amount of padding during use if you maintain hand position for any length of time. As a result, I'll try replacing them with some memory foam pads and see how that goes.
