20 Best Wrist Rest For Mouse (2023 Updated)

Great value! Gives my wrists the support they need. I also love the little one for my mouse pad or number pad! What an added bonus!

Dislike. Keyboard wristpad not heavy enough. It moves across desk when I’m typing

What can you say? They work just fine. Lol

Purchased several of these mouse pads in Nov 2021 for office use with coordinating gel wrist rests for keyboards WR309LE, since previous wrist rests were old and oozing gel. They have gotten daily use and so far are holding up well.

The edges curved up slightly when brand new, but have since flattened out fine and does not affect the use of the mouse as other reviewers have mentioned. Love the wrist support the gel provides and the easy to clean leatherette cover on both wrist rests.

I like this mouse pad with wrist support. I’ve had it about 2 weeks. It’s smaller footprint perfectly fits the space available on my desk. I use it with a desktop and a 27″ screen. My mouse seems very responsive with no skipping or other problems.

I keep the pad at the edge of the desk so my wrist naturally rests on it, and the pad stays in the same place on the desk all day. The edges of the mouse pad are slightly elevated, enough so I can tell when I reach them, but not enough to prevent me from sliding the mouse up to the darkfield laser sensor (which is located in the center of my Logitech MX mouse).

Don’t know if mouse battery life is affected.

I really like the wrist rest. It is quite comfortable, especially when using the mouse a lot. The mouse pad surface claims to give superior mouse responsiveness for an optical mouse, but that wasn’t my experience.

Initially, it gave erratic performance, with the mouse cursor skipping and jumping. I had to play around with mouse settings to get it to work well by actually slowing down my mouse responsiveness. Works fine now.

I just thought a keyboard wrist rest would be the length of a keyboard. Especially a gaming one. But no, this is so short. It would fit a small Ipad/tablet keyboard only. This should probably be stated in the title, but ah well.

Other than it’s length, it’s comfortable, and I like the ‘black stealth’ but yes, WAY too short for gaming.

Bought this along with my GMMK full-size keyboard. Was really unimpressed with the quality. Coming from a Razer keyboard with a leather pad, I was surprised at how stiff this was. It doesn’t seem to have the correct height for the GMMK keyboard either, even with the feet propping it up.

I meant to return it but forgot, it’s that bad. It will not get used ever.

Its comfy but at $25, it’s overpriced for what it offers. The bottom semi rigid and is not that grippy. Its also a bit too lightweight which causes it to shift around more than other wrist rests I’ve used.

The unit was slightly bowed in the middle which is annoying as it still hasn’t straightened out yet (2 weeks later). Buy a coolermaster for 1/2 the price and will sit flush on the desk and not move around as much.

Definitely not worth $25.

So I have purchased this before and was just getting a new one. Not because I needed a new one after several years of use on my wrist, but because I wanted to use the old one on my arm rest of my chair to stop my elbow from getting rubbed raw.

It works well on my chair on for my elbow and my new one I use for my wrist while using my mouse.

This wrist pad confirms nicely to the hand and wrist, reducing fatigue while using a mouse. The gel is cool, so I don’t overheat or get a heat rash. The grippy bottom prevents sliding while using.

It is made very cheaply. After a few weeks of use the top layer of fabric completely detached from the pad. Now the gel pad is wearing away. The item also is not as described. It is only 6″ long, not 13″.

With all this it is a good to rest my left forearm on to prevent pressure and strain.

Owned my wrist rest for 7 years. Although a little yellowed, it has held its form and comfort. Super soft silicone gel is comfortable for the palms/wrists and it’s lower profile height doesn’t raise your wrists (keeps them in line with your hands).

This wrist rest works best with standard keyboards, not low-profile ones (Mac and others).

Over the years, I wear through keyboard and mouse rests. This is my 5th such purchase and I will continue to buy them every time I wear a hole in one. Which leads me to. yes you can wear holes in them.

It takes a very long time, depending on use but it does happen. I use my computer for work, all day (8-12 hours), everyday, 250+ days a year. I would consider my use “excessive” and yet this still holds up.

I replace my mouse and keyboard rests about once every 2-3 years. These are not only sturdy they are FUN! When I am sitting through meetings I often find myself kneading the rest. I use a normal keyboard, with it raised to the first rung on the keyboard.

I don’t use a curved keyboard. The height is perfect for my use. The only downside is that the packaging has a very strong glue on the back. That glue doesn’t come off easily and you will at times find your rest stuck to your desk.

I really like the gel material in this rest, but as for the shape of the rest, I’ve come to realize doesn’t make sense. The center of the rest is the widest and then the width tapers on both sides towards the ends, like a really flat ‘D’.

This gives it a nice visual effect, but I don’t think it’s practical when I place the rest up against my keyboard – maybe if my wrists are supposed to get smaller the farther out I place my hands on the keyboard? I guess the idea is that I move the rest back away from the keyboard so that it sits more under my forearms – which would make sense since traditional typing lessons tells us that we really shouldn’t be resting our wrists when we type.

I’ve turned the rest so that the flat end is towards me and at the edge of my desk with my keyboard about 1 inch away from the rest. This allows the rest to have a consistent height for both wrists.

I came across this item by accident in Office Max while there spending some coupon money that I earned for recycling ink. The is the perfect wrist rest to use for the mouse. It helps the arthritis in my hands and wrist so much.

This mini wrist rest is wonderful! The little beads in it make it very comfortable because it conforms to your wrist This is the second one I bought, because I like one next to each of my two computers.

I originally had tried the regular size, but found that it was a little too thick for me; the mini size is perfect. I highly recommend it for avoiding a sore wrist bone!.

I needed a very small wrist rest because of the small, suspended mouse pad next to the keyboard tray. This certainly is the right size and is beady enough (not too solid) to give my wrist some comfort.

My only constructive criticism would be for better non-slide backing on the bottom to prevent it sliding. Other than that, I am happy with it and would buy again if needed.

I figured I should probably write a fair review to cancel out the negative review of the user who decided to give this item a negative review based on his ordering mistake. As the description says, it is a desktop platform, and not a slide-out under mounted tray.

This particular one has room enough for a keyboard and mouse, which I prefer. It has a gel wrist rest which is very comfortable. I have held onto mine for years and it is very durable. If something happened to mine, I would definitely order another to replace it.

It’s a nice product, mostly high-quality depending what you want to do with it. In my case, I wanted to rest it on my lap while sitting on the couch with wireless keyboard/mouse. I have two problems.

Mainly: the stickers that hold the wrist guard in place aren’t that strong, they come loose easily. Secondly: the board is a little flexible, so my keyboard doesn’t sit quite flat on my lap— it wobbles a bit when I type because of the curvature.

I am a writer and needed a wrist rest for my keyboard. The keyboard I got did not have one. Bought this. I really like the mouse pad area. The adhesion of the mouse area works great. I do have the wrist rest adhered to the back.

I just have on the surface below by board and it is heavy and stays put. Works find for my wrists and keyboard.

I got this exact same mousepad about 11 years ago. After being used 5 days a week at two different jobs, it finally sprang a tiny leak and began oozing sticky liquid from the gel wrist rest. I was elated to find I could replace it with the identical item.

I guess my old one had faded over the years, because the new one has vibrant colors compared to what I’d gotten used to. It is the best of both worlds- shiny and brand new yet like an old friend. If it lasts as long as the last one, I’ll be taking it home with me when I retire because my career doesn’t have 11 more years left to it!.

UPDATE 2019: This gel pad has again started to leak just shy of 4 years. I’m on the computer all day, so if you use your computer less than me it might last longer for you. ————————– I’ve owned this since August 2011, so for nearly 4 years now.

The first thing to note is that it is a beautiful mouse pad when you get it. It does acquire a buildup of some dirt toward the top of the pad that requires regular cleaning (I use alcohol wipes and some elbow grease).

In the last year the gel rest has discolored on the most heavily used part, turning a darker yellow. It’s also wrinkled in the same spot as the discoloration and the wrinkle has weakened the gel material causing the gel to leak.

I will be replacing this with the same model because it did hold up for almost 4 years and I like the look of it. It provides a nice place for your wrist to rest, unlike most mouse pads. Just know that it’s not meant to last forever.

I bought this mouse wrist rest and the matching keyboard wrist rest for my daughter for her 12th birthday. This is a very beautiful setup. It does the job. It’s gel-filled and protects her wrist. The functionality is there, and it looks pretty.

I was concerned that the surface might be a little sticky since it’s not fabric-covered, but my daughter said it didn’t bother her at all. I do recommend this product.

I usually like to wait until I’ve had some time with a product before writing a review but this one is love at first touch and I can tell I will be quite happy with it. This is just the right length for my keyboard, stays where I put it, is very soft to the touch and The fact that it is very easy to clean is a bonus.

It might be a bit high for some at almost an inch but that works fine for me. I appreciate that it is pretty much a straight classic shape although wouldn’t have minded if it had been as wide in the middle as it is on the ends, but it is only a slight difference unlike a twice the price model I had bought from Amazon and promptly returned.

It does have a funny smell at first but I’ve had this with previous wrist rests and it goes away quickly. If you are sensative to such things you might want to air it out for a day or so. While it is plenty squishy it might be a bit firm for some so if you want something very pliable this might not be the one for you but it checks all the boxes for me and I am so glad I found it.

Thank you Walmart for always having what I need at a great price.

The wrist rest is heavy because it is gel. It is gel so it does not collapse like foam. The rest does not move on a glass table. The rest can be cleaned easily as the cover is not cloth. It looks well made and seems like it should last I would buy this item if this is what you are looking for.

I ‘paired’ it with a Kensington Gel mouse wrist rest with a new 3M mouse pad. Everything works for me.

I got this because I needed a good, cheap wrist rest for my keyboard. But when it came, it came in a gigantic box and was kind of curious as to why. It turned out that the wrist rest was actually not too big, but was pretty long (the length was good).

The only problem is that the wrist rest was too fat? or I guess tall in a way? The wrist rest rises a little too high over my keyboard to comfortably rest on. So beware, if you don’t like tall wrist rests that are a little too tall than your keyboard height, then maybe look into the innovera flatter wrist rest which is about the same price as this one on Target.

But keep in mind this is my preference. Make sure to read and look at the dimensions of the wrist rest and your keyboard so you know if it will be adequate for your liking.

Okay, first off, I’m a leather fanatic just so ya know this ahead of time. I know the good stuff from the cheap stuff. and this isn’t too bad at all, especially for the price. I really didn’t know how real(yes, it’s really real cowhide)leather would effect my mouse tracking, luckily it seems it that it doesn’t do anything different than my last coated hard plastic mouse pad.

My RGB Gaming Mouse tracks effortlessly across it at any dpi setting, with no noticeable issues at all. It does have a wrist rest, and it does do just that. just not too comfortably. It’s not memory foam or gel, just a foam pad underneath thin, supple leather.

It’s not uncomfortable, just not what you would expect of gel or memory foam based ones. It simply gets the job done. As for durability, leather is pretty tough so I’m hoping for a decent lifespan on this item.

I’m glad I decided to try this out, it’s much more than it seems. Recommended!.

I must say that I was expecting a more purple-like colour (I ordered the damson one) but it’s a really good mouse pad! There were some issues with TNT as well, apparently they had the wrong postal code.

We had to call them to ask about the exact location of the item and give the correct postal code so it took some time to arrive. Still, I have no complaints for the seller or the shop and I give them 5 stars for the awesome quality of the mouse pad.

Thank you!.

I’ve used this for about 5 days now. It doesn’t take long to form an opinion about a mouse pad. I chose this due to the small size – it fits perfectly in the place I need it. It looks nice and the wrist pad is comfortable.

My big complaint is that the bottom side does not grip the desk surface, so the mouse pad “walks” all over the desk. Another complaint is that the pad is warped/bowed and it has a “memory”. Attempts to bend it flat result in it springing back into the bowed shape.

Bottom line, it doesn’t lay flat and it doesn’t stay put. You’d think that at this price, they could’ve gotten those two things right. I’m not returning it but I wouldn’t recommend it.

The wrist rest is mainly for keyboard inclination where your hand is raised up onto the keyboard. So to put simply if you use a keyboard that is laying flat most of the time. This wrist rest is a waste of money.

This is meant for those who prefer raising their keyboard roughly around 6 or 9 degrees. I know that most gamers tend to leave their keyboard flat and end up using a big mousepad as a wrist rest instead.

This wrist rest is most likely for those that type a lot on a small keyboard and need an inclination to enhance their typing experience when it comes to productivity. This wrist rest isn’t as bouncy or more correctly say it doesn’t rebound or have some kind of resistance to it.

It sinks down to the plastic base which is something I prefer over the rebounded ones that actually caused more fatigue for me. Personally for me, this is exactly what I’m looking for to pair up with my huntsman mini.

I prefer having inclination but it made my wrist sore so had to place it flat most of the time. Not anymore thanks to this wrist rest.

This does exactly what it is designed to do. Although I dont have an issue with it and feel its a decent product it also could be much better. It does the job but thats about it, nothing more nothing less.

Padding is very minimal. Overall a decent item. Would suggest looking elsewhere when it comes to a good wrist rest.

This rest fit my non-elite model of the Razer Huntsman perfectly. It doesn’t snap onto the keyboard or provide rgb like the Huntsman Elite has, but it is almost exactly the same otherwise. I love it.

The angle and padding is just right, even if it looks like they skimped on it. Plus, it keeps me cool.

Great mouse pad for wrist protection. Smooth movement with the mouse. Gets some slight discoloration from skin/lotion, etc. I only took a star off because the flat part is bowling up a little around the edges, but it doesn’t really affect the way it functions, just looks.

It is also getting an indentation in the foam rest, but it just keeps my wrist in the right spot I guess. I do like the sticky bottom, too, to keep it from slipping. I also paired it with the HyperX Wrist Rest for the keyboard.

Good pair. Been using for 5 months 4-5 days a week. Good price.

I must say this mouse pad is awesome and I have less aches from working on computers all day. This is my second one, the first one lasted a good 2 years. But replaced it with a new one and its so much better.

Definitely feel the difference and hit another home run with this purchase! Comfortable, Control ability , and Functionality best describe this little piece of joy. Get one of these and you won’t regret it, and hopefully your wrist will feel better, too.

Purchased for my boyfriend. He works on a computer 8-9 hours a day and was getting a sore spot on the palm of his hand from using the mouse. I suggested getting a mousepad with a wrist rest. We found this one and he has loved it.

It does not move or slide around on the desk which is a very common issue with mouse pads. We have now had it for just over 4 months and it is still going strong after everyday use.

I am a huge fan of gel-based wrist rests. There isn’t nearly a big enough market for these things, and what is a available isn’t very well thought out. This one is a bit stiffer, but still gives enough to be comfortable, but more importantly, it’s easily cleanable.

No cloth covering means it’s just a simple wipe to clean off whatever has built up on there, and as someone who has some pretty caustic skin oils, that’s a HUGE plus. Also, purple is a great color.

After bilateral wrist surgery for carpel tunnel, using a keyboard was uncomfortable. Human Resources got this gel wrist support for me to use. It provided soft and gentle support, and because there is no fabric cover on the support, there is a cooling effect for your wrists.

When I retired, the support stayed at my company. Recently, when the wrist pain returned, I purchased two of these gel wrist supports. One for my PC and one for the laptop I use at the table. I’m very pleased.

Pros: soft, cool, stays put without adhesive. Cons: Only one color was available, purple.

I just received my second one. I had second thoughts about spending that much money on a gel writs rest. As soon as I placed on the edge of my desk, I was glad I had made the purchase. I was getting slight marks on my arms before from the pressure of the edge of my desk on my arms.

Now they feel very comfortable, and no marks. The ONE thing that I would advise people to be careful with when using this product is your elbows. I rested my left elbow on the product, and within 2 weeks it created some dents in the product.

I called 3M to confirm if this was expected, and the representative was pretty adamant about the product NOT being designed to withstand elbow pressure. Luckily, Home Essentials Direct took it back and sent me a new one (thank you, Home Essentials Direct!), so I will be more careful this time around.

Other than this, I would recommend it to anyone who is experiencing any discomfort because of the edge of their desk.

All Plastic so it is easier to clean and stays cleaner than my previous fabric covered mouse pad. The wrist rest is a good size and fits my hand and wrist comfortably for a more ergonomic work space.

Looks aesthetically pleasing – especially since the color matches my computer desktop screen. I’ve had several compliments on it because it looks so nice on my desk with my computer equipment.

long lasting and really comfortable. i originally got one at work about 10yrs ago and finally needed replaced! unfortunately work no longer provides this style. instead they provide the real cheap foamy kind that barely last a few months and you can’t clean so it gets nasty from the dead skin cells, dirt and even food.

but i loved this one so much because on top if it being comfortable it’s so easy to clean! i loved it so much i just bought it myself for work and will be replacing the one at home soon as well. i only wish it would come in more colors:(.

Purple is my favorite color. Love the material it’s made frm, as it’s very stable while on any surface u use. The gel wrist rest, feels amazing an since having carpal tunnel, I don’t have so much pain, as I would not using a mouse pad without the gel rest.

Very pleased it’s waterproof and wipes off with ease. My Hubby, likes using his as well.

I’ve used these mouse pads for years. I have one for my PC and my laptop. Recently, one of my grandchildren needed one so I gave one of mine to him and ordered this one. The price was even less than when I purchased my first one several years ago.

They really hold up and the back, which is gel-like can be wiped off with a damp cloth. It holds the mouse pad in place well when you put it on a desk or table. The top has a smooth fabric which can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth.

The wrist rest is thick and has a slight curve in the middle for your wrist. It gives with pressure and is very comfortable while supporting the wrist well. I would surely recommend this mouse pad as it is comfortable, durable, and stays where you put it.

My son-in-law saw it and said “That’s a nice mouse pad”. When I told him what I paid to replace the one I gave his son, his mouth dropped open. I know what he’s getting next birthday. Thanks for a great product at an excellent price.

I LOVE this mouse pad. I have had it now for several months on my main desktop computer. I love that it sticks to the desktop – it has plastic which you peel off and then you can stick on a flat surface.

It sticks very solidly and is much better than my prior setup, where the gel wrist pad kept falling off the desk and the mousepad part kept sliding everywhere. The surface of this mousepad is soft and the area is large so I never have trouble moving the mouse around.

I am also a gamer, and this is a good mousepad for gamers given everything described above. The gel cushion is nice and soft, letting my wrist rest gently in the right position to prevent pain. I’m very glad I bought this!.

I love this mouse pad. It has a non-slip backing which keeps it in place. The exterior is easy to wipe down and maintains both its efficiency and appearance. The Microban is a wonderful antimicrobial addition.

When used at the proper height and position, it is the most comfortable mouse pad I have ever used.

I recently fell and broke my left shoulder and ulna (elbow), and also hurt my right side and hand. The incident exacerbated my occasional carpal tunnel in both hands; in fact, both wrists often go numb while typing and using the mouse.

I’m using another office of my client’s company in a different location, and the person who sits here has one of these wrist rests in his office. I avoided these types of products in the past because they were too hard or large or didn’t feel “right.

” This one is totally different. It accommodates my small wrist, and doesn’t make the numbness worse – the gel is wonderful. I will purchase this for my home office and one for the keyboard because both hands go numb using it.

I asked him how long he’s had this and it has been nearly a year. It is in terrific shape. No peeling, etc. It looks brand new. It is amazing and I am now a proponant of this product! Thank you.

I am a software developer with over 20 years of experience, On early days of my career I had been using some standard mouse pads until I started feeling a pain in my wrist. Roughly 10 years ago I purchased exactly this product in colour blue.

All wrist problems gone. No miracle, just this mouse pad helped me, I am still using it but unfortunately this year a fabric covering the gel ripped off a bit slightly irritating my skin, that’s why I need to search for a replacement now, it will be the same model if I get it somewhere, not easy to find it, Amazon will be my choice.

No bad smell (obviously you need to clean it from time to time), working with a wide variety of computer mouses including many laser models, currently MS Mobile 4000. No single problem!.

This is the third time I’ve bought this mousepad from Innovera. When I first saw it online, I thought its biggest selling point would be its price. At $12, or thereabouts, it really is a steal. Then I actually got it and was blown away by all the other qualities.

First of all, it doesn’t need to be adjusted to. I got it and my wrist just automatically found the best ergonomic position. The most important factor is the gel wrist pad. Its amazingly comfortable and soft without being too plush and provides great stability.

Despite the material, it doesn’t stick to your hand. And it’s contoured in such a way as to provide a very natural resting position for your wrist and hand. I use it all day for work and gaming and have never ever had any complaints.

Second is the lightly textured surface of the actual mouse pad. I like the physical responsiveness I feel through this texture. It provides a great gliding surface for my mouse without sending it flying away.

Finally the sticky back (the underside) of the pad keeps anchored firmly in whatever position you decide for it. All of this makes this my favorite mouse pad. I’ll keep buying them whenever their lifespan reaches their natural course.

This is the only mouse pad or wrist rest I’ve found that has this silky-smooth texture on the wrist rest, which I’ve found is super important for allowing me to use forearm movements rather than wrist movements to move my mouse (since my wrist doesn’t get stuck to the rest).

The surface also lets any mouse track well. Sure, the mouse pad part is going to “bubble up”/deform after 1-2 years, but who cares, this thing is $11! This is my third time purchasing this product, I’ve tried several other wrist rests and keep coming back to this one.

bought both 3M Precise Mouse Pad with Gel Wrist Rest and 3M Gel Wrist Rest for Keyboards. they are both good but not excellent in my opinion. the plastic sticker on the mouse pad was not 100% glued to the silicon base since day one – my wife didn’t made an issue of this so i let it slide.

the gel on both is a bit on the soft side – I hope I’m wrong but I don’t think they will last for long time. I had the old model of the mouse pad and it last about 5 years – the gel on that model was of higher density and felt stiffer which is a good thing in my opinion, but they don’t make them like this anymore.
