GIM Keyboard Wrist Rest Mouse Mat Set, Ergonomic Keyboard Wrist Support Memory Foam Mouse Mat with Wrist Cushion Support for Computer and Laptop Home Office Gaming (Black-1)

Product Information

If you’ve got the desk space and a tendency to cover an extensive surface area when using your mouse, you’d be wise to opt for the biggest mouse pad you can get. Logitech’s G840 XL is a full desktop pad that essentially turns every inch of your deskspace into a mouse mat, giving you plenty of room to manoeuvre, as well as the freedom to adjust your setup on the fly. USB hub: If you’re low on USB ports, you may want to look into a mousepad that has an integrated USB hub. As with the RGB lighting, these will need an open USB port to connect to your laptop or PC, but from there you can use it to connect your desktop peripherals. As well as providing more ports, it’s also handy having them in reaching distance for when you want to swap something out. A hard mat, on the other hand, is designed for speed, cutting out any unnecessary friction to keep your mouse movements as nippy as possible. If you feel confident in your ability to stop the mouse on a dime, or if you just generally prefer speed over precision, a hard mouse pad will provide the least amount of resistance. Best Memory Foam Mouse Wrist Rest: HyperX Wrist Rest combines memory foam and cooling gel to keep your wrists cool while offering the contoured support of foam. Not only is this a wonderful mouse mat to use, but it also comes with a handful of other benefits such as a useful flap, which can be used to store important documents. We also really liked the bundled wireless charger, which snaps magnetically to the side of the mouse mat and can be used to charge your smartphone up to 15W. It can also simultaneously charge a pair of AirPods or other earbud cases with wireless charging support.

Memory foam wrist rests are softer, with foam that molds to the shape of your wrist and palm. They tend to feel more supportive, but some users may find them a bit too soft. Because a wrist rest should guide your body into a particular position, its size and shape are essential on a functional level. A flatter wrist rest might put your hands at just the right height for your keyboard, or you may need a taller one to keep your wrists more elevated. If you use a compact keyboard or a tenkeyless (TKL) one that doesn't include a full number pad, you might want a shorter wrist rest that matches closer to that size. Most keyboard wrist rests also work for laptops, but some are specifically designed as a pair of square pads to be placed directly on the surface of your computer.The mouse pad itself is on the smaller side, so is definitely better suited to a mouse set to a higher sensitivity. Even so, the space is used economically, with the plastic surface making even the smallest of mouse movements go a long way. The rubber base may not be all that luxurious but it’s still sturdy enough to keep the pad from sliding around during use, while also providing a decent level of cushioning beneath the mouse. Key specs – Dimensions (HWD): 400 x 900 x 3mm; Material: Cloth, rubber; Weight: Not specified; Waterproof surface: Yes; Additional features: N/A Included in the box is a handy hand measurement sheet, which shows you which setting would be ideal for you, based on the size of your hand. From there, you simply add or remove the appropriate colour-coded inserts in the wrist rest and enjoy the support. Your wrist sits on a soft, gel-padded plinth

As well as being a smooth base for your mouse to glide over, some pads include key features that you may find useful. Here are some of the main ones to look out for: Key specs – Dimensions (HWD): 780 x 370 x 4mm; Material: felt, vegan leather; Weight: 55g; Waterproof surface: No; Additional features: Wireless charging, document storage flap Overall, DeltaHub’s Carpio 2.0 is an excellent mouse rest that stands out for its design, comfort, and freedom of movement. It’s not cheap, but we believe the benefits justify the price here. Unlike some cheaper mouse pads, the Eono features braided edges, which should help to ward off fraying and wear – a common complaint among more budget models. The surface is also waterproof, so any spills are easily cleaned, and the whole thing is machine washable too. It may be a little on the thin side, but for what you’re paying here, the Eono Round Mat is a surprisingly sturdy and stylish mouse pad. To make things a little easier for you, we’ve compiled a list of the best mouse pads on the market, with options to suit all needs and budgets. If you’re unsure of exactly what kind of mouse pad would suit you, the buying guide below will answer all your questions, allowing you to make an informed decision.

Wrist rests are relatively straightforward products, as there aren’t really that many features or specs to worry about. Despite that, there are still a couple of topics worth discussing before you head out and buy one, including the all-important choice of gel vs. memory foam. Dedicated Wrist Rests vs. Ergonomic Mousepads Best Memory Foam Mouse Wrist Rest Alternative: Brila Memory Foam Wrist Rest has a massaging surface on tried-and-tested memory foam and Lycra material. The soft surface is made from 100% recycled polyester, which in addition to being better for the environment, also provides a silky smooth ride for your mouse, with just enough friction to keep movements precise and deliberate. The edges are braided, so fraying is a non-issue and you also get a handy boundary that stops your mouse from skipping off the edge of the pad. Wrist pain is a sign that all those long hours spent using your PC have started to catch up with you, and it’s time to change things for the better. A wrist rest is a great, affordable way to try and overcome the issue before you try more significant changes, such as a vertical mouse. The RGB lighting can easily be set to any of the twelve onboard programs via a small button on the USB hub, or, for the best results, you can use the Corsair iCUE software to program your own setup and link it in with the rest of your rig.
