Wristrests

Full, TKL, 60%, wooden, leather (just as long as it is not that gel crap).

Whatever, I just want to know what is out there that you don't want and is reasonably priced!

Thanks!

They get dirty very quickly and I have found my fat hands already have plenty of cushioning!  I prefer the harder wristrests like the leopold 60% I have.

For cheap ones I recommended http://tinyurl.com/7uxnxxk and http://tinyurl.com/7zhf9th . If you want something really nice that going to last as long as your keyboard http://tinyurl.com/8ayuu8p .

Too softish / cheap / gel like for the first two and too expensive on the last one.



I do not think I would be opposed to trying out a Filco leather with memory foam and the steel backing:

If anyone has one of these used and you aren't using it, how do you feel about them?  How much do you want for it?  Condition?  Pics?

Not looking to spend 60 or 70, just want something used so I can get a feel for it and not have to deal with the drastic markdown that attends selling used what I bought new if I do not like it.

Well all I can say is that if you like using wrist wrests youll enjoy the one from EK went from a hardwood one to it. I assume your no where near me to try out the ones that I have accumulated.

Well I appreciate the offer, if you ever find yourself out Vegas way bring your collection and get in touch, we can hit up ye ole Smashburger, my treat!  We can play with the keyboards and wristrests before we dip our paws in grease and batter.

Yeah, I have seen Eric's work, amazing but if EK is out of my price range, I'm positive that Eric's is no closer.
