Title: Ducky Wrist Rest
Post by: Red0y0s on Mon, 24 March 2014, 10:18:42
Hi all,

I'm interested in getting a ducky wrist rest but I can only find ones for the full sized keyboards, do they do them for the smaller keyboards (DK-9087 Shine 3) ??

Thanks

I'd recommend going with the filco or EK wrist rest if you've got the money. I have the Ducky TKL wrist rest and had to glue a mouse pad that I cut up into sections to the bottom in order to prevent it from sliding around. As is, the bottom doesn't stick to any surface.

I have both of these and love them. Highly recommended.

They have a metal plate inside the leather on the bottom that keeps them dead flat. The foam is quite firm, but that's a good thing. Just don't expect something soft like the cheapo gel wrist rests.

They show no signs of wear in over a year with 12+ hours use per day. Pricy but worth it. I've had many inexpensive wrist rests over the years and they ended up in the garbage for one reason or another. These guys from EK you'll pass on to your kids.

What a crapper, it's going to cost me $57 to ship this to me as I'm in the UK. That's such a shame. Can't justify that!

Might have to go for the filco wrist rest, they any good?

When I was in Hong Kong, I tried this Leopold TKL wrist rest (http://www.leopold.co.kr/?doc=cart/item.php&it_id=1247449292). Out of all the stock wrist rests I've tried (Ducky, Filco, Leopold), I liked the Leopold the best. I thought it had the right mix of soft leather and support. Filco and Ducky were way too hard for my tastes. Not sure if it's easily found but I kind of regret no getting the Leopold one when I saw it.
