Title: Cheapest tkl wrist rest?
Post by: Bakgrund on Mon, 05 January 2015, 13:11:50

What's the cheapest leather wrist rest designed for tkl keyboards? I'll be using it with my qfr if that matters.

Might be a long shot, buy Aliexpress had some cheap wrist pads.. Not sure about the quality, though.

Most of them seems pretty short, maybe it's worth spending a little extra. Are the filco ones any good? I saw that Keypop had some. http://www.keypop.net/product/filco-black-leather-white-stitch-wrist-rest

Ducky TKL rest from Ducky Nordic? Not the cheapest, but within EU.

I've moved the thread to the keyboards sub-forum.  Hope you don't mind.

Graffiti rests are pretty comfortable and go for around or under $20

^ this.


I was going to suggest this, the only problem with the Grifiti wrist rests is that they tend to wear away rather.. quickly. That's the only downside to be honest, other than that, they are extremely comfortable and extremely cheap also.

Apparently a local store is selling Ducky tkl wrist rests for 279 SEK (http://www.inet.se/produkt/6606544/ducky-wrist-rest-tenkeyless-size-black) which is about 35 bucks, I've thought about it a bit more and I think I'd rather take something of high quality, but the question is if ducky really has high quality?

Higher than Grifiti by design.

I just retired a full-sized Grifiti rest that I've had for about 2 years. Replaced it with the Big-Ass version: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009LC9KPO/
