Wrist Rest Recommendations
« on: Wed, 08 May 2019, 19:30:50 »
I'm looking to get a nice wrist rest for my new 60%, something that has some dark colored wood. Not very educated on wrist rests so I need some help.

"Not very educated on wrist rests"

I thought that from an ergonomics perspective, these are bad things. If you're using a wrist rest, you're also angling your hands up which is going to increase the risk of carpal tunnel.

I love big fat gel rests as a place to rest the hands while reading or thinking.

Unfortunately they always look shabby after a couple of years.

“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

3M makes some nice gel ones.  They're covered in a pretty hard-wearing textured black vinyl.  I've had one in my office for years, and it still looks like new.  I don't know if they make one as narrow as a 60%, but it might work for both a keyboard and a mouse.  They make a 2' wide version that's made to be used with a full-size keyboard and a mouse.  That thing's huge.
