Customer Reviews

great mouse pad for the price
It is a mouse pad made by Belkin, which has a reputation of making reasonably priced and acceptable products. I have had it for a few days, some reviews say they couldn't live without it, some say it is too hard...this is my two cents:

Comfort level: C+ - I see some reviews that say it is too hard, but I don't think so. It is gel and it needs to be a little hard to maintain it's shape. It does not feel like a pillow. If it did feel like a pillow, it would lose its shape and become flat where your wrist laid and fluffy on the sides. I have used it for an hour or two at a time and I think it's nice for the price. I have it on a end table beside the couch and my had goes to sleep if I don't pick it up every 4-5 minutes, but I can't say that is uncommon for a mouse pad of this type.

Functionality: A+ - I have been using this mouse pad with a laser mouse and it works flawlessly. I do not know what to say except that it does the job as far as I am concerned.

One more comment...The bottom of this thing is tacky. When I say tacky I don't mean that it is not very fashionable, I mean that it sticks to crap like crazy. It will not slide on any surface under normal conditions.

Durability: I have had it for just a few days, but it does seem to be a fairly durable product. It seems to be covered in a neoprene type cover. I think you could spill anything on it and simply wash it out and dry it, though I have never done it. I think if you were wearing a watch on your mouse hand, mine is on the right, the wrist pad covering would be gone in a couple of weeks of moderate use.

Overall: I recommend this mouse pad for the price. I have not had a lot of experience with mouse pads with a pad for the wrist, but I am glad I switched over. I don't know what to tell you if you will be using it for eight hours a day, but for the recreational net surfer, it is one heck of a mouse for your money and I plan on using mine for at least the next couple of years. So, if you want a flashy, custom colored mouse pad with memory foam then you need to spend more money, but if you want a good mouse pad for your hard-earned money, then go with this Belkin.

Wow!
I don't know how I could live without this item. It is so comfortable. It is true, it does conform to the shape of your wrist, and it does relieve pain. Highly recommended.

very comfortable
I was starting to get wrist pains with my mouse hand ("oh no! Carpal tunnel!") so I ordered this pad.

It seems small at first glance (maybe 3 mice wide), but it's all you'll need. The rubber texture on the bottom side keeps the pad stabilized on your desk. The top side is a soft fabric, so even though the wrist area's "gel", it feels natural and you forget that your wrist is elevated after a few minutes.

It's incredibly simple and works as advertised; I wish I'd coughed up the $5 for one of these a long time ago. Very good product.
