Review on 3M Keyboards Soothing Technology WR85B by Mark Powell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Comfortable and compact, but don't rest your elbows on it!

First of all I want to say that I really like how compact and comfortable it is. I use it as a desktop stand for my work computer (I work from home full time) so I needed something small to fit on my desktop stand's keyboard tray and it fitted perfectly, as did the 3M gel palm rest for the Mouse. .My problem is that I'm sitting. I have a habit of resting my elbows on the keyboard when looking at my phone or keeping my head on the screen while scrolling through something. I've only had it a month and I'm already having permanent bulges in the pads on each side of my elbows. I've tried massaging the dimples but they won't spring back and go away no matter what I do, which is a bit frustrating given the price I paid. I expected them to hold their shape much better for the price. I haven't found too many keyboards that I like that are compact enough to fit on my standing desk, so I'll keep using these until I find one.

Pros
  • practical thing
Cons
  • pisses me off
