I ordered the wrist rest to alleviate pain from typing on my Dell Latitude D610. This does help - it tilts the keyboard to create a somewhat better angle. But it's not designed for thick laptops -- unlike in the picture, my rest lies flat against my keyboard -- the angle is not that dramatic, so my wrist position is still not ergonomically correct. And it doesn't have any noticeable impact when the laptop is on my lap -- it just raises the surface of my keyboard one half inch. The product isn't useless, but for serious wrist strain and a larger laptop I would recommend looking into alternatives.

After months of near constant typing on my Dell Latitude, my wrists showed signs of taking a serious beating.

A brief prayer to the Amazon gods of technology led me to discover Kensington's wrist rest.

Regular use for nearly two months has alleviated the strain I previously felt and, in fact, has improved my usability with laptop.

I always appreciate products that strengthen my relationship with the digital world.

I purchased a 13.3 inch laptop over a year ago, it's small form factor is great for portability, however the keyboard being so small was an unanticipated problem. Within about 8 months of using this laptop almost full time for my work, I started getting pains in my wrists and forearms. I shopped around for a laptop wrist rest for a while trying to find something that was portable enough to be taken with me when I couldn't use my external keyboard.

This item fit the bill and I've been fairly happy with it. Using my laptop keyboard with this wrist rest is still less comfortable than my ergo-keyboard, which I've started using whenever I can, but it comes in handy as many of the meetings I go to it's not practical to take my external keyboard with me.

Several of my colleagues have purchased this wrist rest after seeing me use it at meetings. I'd never heard these people complain about their wrists and hands hurting when using their laptops until they saw this wrist rest. If you're having problems with wrist, hand, or arm pain while typing on a laptop keyboard I'd recommend you try this out--while not a perfect solution, it's as good as it gets for this price.

I got a Compaq 6910p laptop from work as an "upgrade". While it performs like a champ, the size & shape really suck, and it was driving me crazy that every time I typed, my wrist was banging up against the corner. No carpal tunnel, just banging my wrist. I work from the couch every day (don't have a desk), so I had to find a way to make this work.

This was the only product I was able to find that seemed like it would help, so I gave it a shot. It makes all the difference. No more wrist pain. The only thing that's a little lame is that the picture here is a bit misleading. It makes it look like the pad clamps down around the laptop, hugging it to stay in place. That's not the case. It's actually much taller than it looks in the picture (probably because they wanted it to fit much thicker laptops,) so it just kind of sits on it loosely. If I pick the laptop up, it will fall off. My laptop's base is about 3/4" thick when open.

intended to use on my gaming laptop so i don't get oil stains from my hand on the nice finish.. with ergonomic support as well.. i guess its for the conventional laptops (not thick gaming laptops).. works very well with my ibm.. I still use it on my gaming laptop though.. still fits, just that it doesnt sit as nicely as it should..

bottom line.. i would still buy it if im given a second chance.. i recommend this product.. my gaming laptop is 15.4 inch, ibm is 14.1 inch.. haven tried on a 17 inch though..
