Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kensington Comfort Type Notebook Wrist Rest (82051A)
Customer Review: Wrist Rest
Summary: 4 Stars
I had always been a desktop guy and resisted a laptop partially because I found them uncomfortable to type on because of the harsh edge that pushed into my wrists. My need for a laptop now outweighed comfort but I got lucky and found this wrist week just a few days after the laptop arrived.
This a an excellent product that is well worth the price. While the preset distance between the two supports is OK it would be nicer to be able to adjust the distance as not all laptops are the same width.
Customer Review: Good for ThinkpadR61
Summary: 4 Stars
I have a Thinkpad R61 and the wrist rest fits quite fine. The shape with sharp angles of the Thinkpad can be uncomfortable if you work with your laptop all day. After some time I started feeling pain on my wrists and lower arm. The wrist arm helped to alleviate the pain and the effects could be felt after a couple of weeks. It also acts as a reminder for keeping the wrists in a better position while working.Customer Review: Wrist Rest
Summary: 4 Stars
Not a bad wrist wrest. I don't if I would give it a blazing review but for the price, it sure is easier on the wrists after typing for a long period of time. I packs away easy too.Customer Review: Makes my laptop easier to use.
Summary: 3 Stars
The pads are a bit cumbersome, but if you are willing to adapt a bit, they function better than anything else I have tired.
I have a MacBookPro and the gap between the pads and computer is almost a centimeter. My guess is that this was developed for the fatter PC based laptops. I had to fashion shims to place between the laptop and pads so that they wouldn't keep flexing and ultimately break. So it is a bit of a pain to have to take the shims in and out every time I remove the laptop from the pads.
Once the laptop is in the device it is softer and easier on my wrists, so that once the computer is "docked" as it were within the device it does provide additional padding at the level of my carpal tunnels.
One negative of the shims that I use is that they migrate over the clicker and depress it, causing anoyances that require correction and repositioning of my shims.
The bottom line, I haven't stopped using it despite the minor aggrivations that occur with the modifications that I employed to make the device functional for me.
Customer Review: It's ok...
Summary: 3 Stars
This is ok. I was looking for a wrist rest that would fit over my laptop because of how the keyboard is set back. This fits and is made of flexible plastic, so that's good. The part where you put your wrists is pretty hard, not all that comfortable. And I have to consciously make an effort to position my hands in such a way that the base of my palm is sitting on it, rather than my wrist. (It doesn't naturally guide your hands into the right position or anything like that.) But that position is more comfortable with this product than without it.
