Hi all,

Just got me a Unicomp Classic 104 Buckling Spring Keyboard (It's brilliant)

I was wondering if there are any other users out there?... if so... do you use a Wrist Rest.. and what type/Brand is it?

Thanks  ;)

I have a wrist rest from theBeast here on the forums.  It is made for a Filco 104/105 size board, but fits my Model M's.  I love it.

I won't use anything but gel rests. I have a bad habit of parking my wrists down most of the time, and I want something giving and forgiving underneath me.
"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

No such thing as a good wrist rest.

But a gel wrist rest is the least evil.

Rosewill RK-9000RE #2 (Lubed, still in the box.  I am afraid to use it because it will break like the first one)

I just use a rolled towel, it's really easy to do and very comfy!

I don't own a Model M, but;

Great hack! I didn't think about doing it, but it's easy, cheap and functional.

I didn't either. I watched the video below where he uses a towel. He didn't talk about it, but I took note.  ;)
