 YMMV September 29, 2006
vga (MD, USA)
Pros (for me):
- gel pad is stiff and offers good wrist support
- entire base is made of solid plastic
- small overall footprint. Fits well on small desks.
- mouse pad is detachable, not glued or anything.
Cons:
- gel pad is a bit too high even for large mice like MS Laser 6K
- mouse pad is a bit small. OK only for high resolution mice (1000+ dpi)
- friction between wrist and gel pad is a bit high. More than on a 3M pad.
Fellowes 91741 Gray Gel Wrist Rest and Mouse Pad March 13, 2007
DM (Rochester, NY)
This is a nice mousepad for optical or other mouse. The main reason I got it was to make my work station more carpal-tunnel healthy. I also liked its streamlined look (as well as that of its matching keyboard gel pad wrist rest). The gel pad is good quality and works well to cushion the wrist. However, the mouse pad itself is lower than the wrist rest, thus rendering its carpal-tunnel health friendliness ineffective because the hand is then angled downward from the wrist instead of the aproximately 45-degree angle from which it should extend at the wrist. My other issue with it is that the mousepad is just too small. I work with a large monitor and often need to extend my mouse past the width of the pad, thus I have to pick-up and re-place the mouse to the other end of the pad very frequently -- more work for the hand and wrist and a real annoyance for a power-user.
 I am currently online looking for a new mouse pad... February 4, 2008

Although the gel wrist rest on this mouse pad works great the rest of the pad sucks. I don't have enough room on the mouse pad to move my mouse around. When I run out of space the white plastic frame around the actual pad makes my mouse stick. I have only had this product for 2 days and I am already shopping for something new.
