I don't know..  ever since I started using Filco palmrest, it made a fanboy out of me. lol  Now I can't go back to something cheaper. =(

I really like having a hard surface that supports the keyboard and mousepad together, like the 3M WR422LE. It makes those little shifts in typing position I do all day easier. Not cheap, though (43 USD.) The removable wristrest that comes with it is excellent and durable (unlike the Belkin crap I was using before.)

Thank you all.
I was actually looking to buy the expensive leather palmrest on EK. But realized I can buy it at Korea for 45..
But then I thought I want it now.. so I just purchased 3M 19inch long gel for keyboard and for mouse separately.
I do want a leather one and hard palmrest, but maybe those little bit cheaper 3M ones can do the work too..
They will arrive on Thursday, can't wait for my palm to be rested..

Does a palm rest help a significant amount? I've stopped using a Palm Rest since 2004. Please educate me. *flame suit on*

ergonomics?

For me, the sharp 90-degree corner of my Filco makes a palmrest absolutely necessary. Without it, my palm collides with the bottom row of keys.

I hadn't used a palm rest in ~6 years until I just got the Filco ones. I have to say it makes a HUGE difference. The keyboard effectively becomes low profile and, once you get used to it, feels so much faster and...right. the angle always felt a tad off before and I used the legs to prop the keyboard up. With the wrist rest my fingers actually very comfortably hang out on the keys and I'm not floating my wrists above the board to assume a proper typing position. I swear by it now.

Just ordered one of these, after reading your post I can't wait to try it out. After getting a new chair and trying to find a more ergonomic sitting position than I had with my old chair it felt like a wrist rest was needed.
