Title: Where to get rubber keyboard wrist rest?
Post by: typo on Thu, 20 July 2017, 09:20:16

Many B&M's used to sell rubber core keyboard wrist rests with a Lycra covering. Like OfficeMax, Staples,Walmart ETC. I find none anywhere I have looked now. These are similar to Griffiti but not exactly the same. For one thing they are covered on the sides which I prefer. They were anywhere from $5-!5 in the early 2000's. I know where to get them online. I was wondering if anyone knows a national B&M that carries these anymore?

Thanks

Staples don't have them?

Do you have any independent stationers in your town/city?

Staples no longer has them. I do not know what kind of store you mean? I am by Chicago.

Stationer - a store that sells stationary and office supplies.

I just did a quick search on "stationer chicago" : Startpage (https://www.ixquick.com/do/dsearch?query=stationer+chicago&cat=web&pl=opensearch&language=english) or DuckDuckGo (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=stationer+chicago&t=lm&ia=places)

Check out the results in Yellowpages, Yelp etc. and you may be able to find something.

Could not find it anywhere locally. Ordered online. IMO these are the best rests. Much harder than gel/foam and not as hard as wood. I do not like Griffiti since it is not covered on the sides. Went with Innovera which is what I currently have and is worn out.
