Post by: Lanx on Sun, 10 August 2014, 13:47:08

i remember the rip off kinesis store wanted stupid prices for shipping out the palm rests. for some reason the microsoft store has it for 12bucks and free shipping, gonna order a pair soon.

I used the original kinesis palm rests but I swapped them for DIY palm rests:
* buy a thick soft rectangular mouse pad,
* the 4 quarters of it corresponds to 4 new palm rests,
* cut to appropriate size and glue to the keyboard.

There you go, 2 pairs of palm rests for about $4.
