Belkin WaveRest Gel Wrist Pad for Keyboards, Black (F8E263-BLK)

It didnt take long to stop liking this pad. I mean I gave it an honest chance, but in less than 2 weeks the wrist support was the main culprit in it becoming a nuisance rather than a useful aid. Specifically, the "gel" padding, which I just learned from another reviewer who cut it open, isnt actually gel, but rather its foam. Now maybe this is the reason for it feeling more like a stiff neoprene pad and in my case, encouraging wrist discomfort rather than relieving it. On a positive note and the reason for the second star is that the mouse tracks very well and the pad is big. In summary, it might be good for others and so be it, but Im done using it.

I ordered ths mouse pad with wrist rest to replace my old one. The gel in the old one was getting compressed and pad was wearing out. This pad is a nice size with plenty of room to move the mouse around. The bottom of the pad is rubber so that it grips the desk and does not slide around. The top surface of the mouse pad has a smooth surface to allow the mouse to move around easily. The wrist rest is a nice size and has an indentation to cradle your wrist or end of palm which is really nice. However the material inside is not very soft, with no give when you rest your wrist upon it. I am a large guy, not dainty wrists here, so the material is pretty stiff. It also makes a crunchy sound kind of like styro foam or plastic sheeting. Overall I am not happy with the product and find my old worn out pad more comfortable and forgiving. The problem is this mouse pad comes in blister packaging, so you have to cut it apart to remove the item, therefore leaving you unable to return it.
