Customer Review: the adjust nub broken off in first 10 minutes
Summary: 3 Stars
One of the plastic nubs that adjusts the height broke off in first 10 minutes of use. I can still adjust it by using a wrench. Other than that, everything else worked like it should, the rotation is a little resistive, but maybe it will become smoother the more I use it.
Update, just found a small problem, the arm cup does not move in a parallel line with respect to the base clamp. It is slanted by a couple of degrees, even after adjusting the two rotating joints to be as parallel as possible. There are teeth at the adjusting joints which locks it in place. Those teeth are slightly off which made it slanted. The teeth and the arm is one metallic piece, which I assume is probably the same for all units off the same mold.
Customer Review: Drawbacks
Summary: 2 Stars
I used the arm rest for a week but ended up returning it. Three drawbacks led to my decision:
1) The mouse pad is elevated above desk level so your arm will be higher than with your previous situation. In my case, that led to shoulder pain because putting my full arm weight on the arm rest would likely have broken the clamp that attached it to my desk.
2) The height of the arm rest is adjustable so it can be below, level with, or above the mouse pad. That's a good thing. But the design is such that in each instance the arm rest and mouse pad are parallel with the floor. While that might seem like a good thing, it can lead to discomfort.
3) The mouse pad surface hearkens back to to early mouse pads geared to work with roller ball mice. But my Microsoft optical mouse constantly had troubles caused by the occasional stray dust particle or cat hair that landed and adhered to the porous surface. Once every few minutes I had to blow or pick stuff off the pad so my mouse would work.
