Title: Grifiti Wrist Rest for Pokers and HHKB's alike (decent for TKLs also)
Post by: DanGWanG on Sat, 12 November 2011, 14:28:56: Just bought like 6 of these on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=sr_nr_scat_705324011_ln?rh=n%3A705324011%2Ck%3Agrifiti&keywords=grifiti&ie=UTF8&qid=1321129480&scn=705324011&h=4d33378b36d1ffde445aac35dfd3c0b7b814c489

Did a search on the forums for "Grifiti" and didin't find anything so if anyone else has posted already, my apologies.

They fit the Poker's and HHKB's exactly, and are really cheap for the quality. If you don't have a crazy OCD about the wrist rest fitting perfectly, you can center align it on a standard TKL (Filco, Leopold, PLU) and it's about 1 inch off each side but perfectly still suitable to rest your wrists. Probably fits Noppoos and Siigs pretty well too.

Edit: Added pics below.

As you can see, it fits nearly perfect for the Poker. With HHKB's having nearly the same dimensions, it should fit them as well. Unfortunately, I don't own one myself, so I can't do a fitting for you guys. On the standard TKLs, it's off a little on each side.

As far as the feel goes, well, it's much better than not having a wristrest. It's a relatively hard foam, covered with material that feel like the old school mouse pads. The height sits a little higher than the Ducky or Filcos, but I personally like it. For $6.50, you really can't go wrong with one of these. If you've got a little OCD like I do though, the fitting not aligning with the standard TKLs is driving me nuts.

We'd love to ship to NZ and turning down a paying customer is never a good thing, but I think shipping to NZ would cost more the wrist pad itself. :/

I use the Fellowes Microban and I love it for small keyboards. Perfect for my choc mini and little small for the Filco TKL but doesn't bother me. Bottom is slip resistant but not too grippy. Also comes in lots of variations/colors. Ordered from:

I think he means just make the notebook wrist rest longer so that it extends from one side of a tenkeyless keyboard to the other. A Filco, Leopold, CM Storm Quickfire...all tenkeyless keyboards...are 14 inches in length.

Their order system seems to have been implemented recently, since my order numbered in the double digits. It's good to see Drupal being adopted by new companies though, as I've always been a fan of the architecture.

Post by: slueth on Tue, 22 November 2011, 01:09:43: I got the regular sized wrist wrest and they feel very comfortable aside from it being a bit abrasive(mouse pad feeling foamy) on your wrist. Does its job well so far, will tell you how it goes on continued use of it and my wrist. Problems might be longevity and keeping it clean, but for 6 bucks I can probably buy another down the road. Reminds me of when I was a kid and they had those foam tiles that interlocked for safety :D
Title: Grifiti Wrist Rest for Pokers and HHKB's alike (decent for TKLs also)
Post by: AKIMbO on Wed, 23 November 2011, 12:35:38: Just received the notebook sized wrist rest in the mail. So far so good. Like slueth said, the top cloth material is a tad bit abrasive on the wrists. I think the abrasiveness is amplified by the fact that the skin underneath your wrists is a little more sensitive and soft when compared to other areas of your body. Grifiti really needs to make a TKL version. Perhaps extend the notebook version by a half inch on each side. The only other criticism I have is the shape of the top section of the wrist rest. If it was slightly angled at the portion closest to your body it would make the wrist rest a little more ergonomic. With all that being said, you still cant' beat the price...Grifiti definitely has the pricing right on this item.

anyway, i like it. texture isn't as rough as i thought it would be from the reviews.

Post by: HPOT on Tue, 03 January 2012, 20:32:54: I found this product on Amazon and ordered it about a week ago. Didn't know this thread existed at the time. Anyways I've been using it on my Leo tkl for about a week and I only have good or neutral things to say about it.

As stated earlier, it is a few inches short of running the full length of a tkl. If you center the rest under the board, the outer edges of your wrists may hang off the ends. I have mine lined up with the left edge of my keyboard. It fully supports my wrists comfortably at a good elevation. the material is somewhat rough on top but not particularly abrasive. If you have sensitive skin or have a habit of sliding your wrists around then it may be a point of concern. The foam is fairly stiff which i consider to be a positive thing because it ensures that my typing ergonomics will be consistent.

Overall, I am totally satisfied with my purchase. The asking price is beyond reasonable and the utility is there. Unless you are one of those OCD types who can't get over the fact that it is not uniform with the length of a standard tkl or are not a fan of the material (rough cloth over foam) you probably have nothing to worry about.
