Fellowes PlushTouch Foam Mouse Pad Wrist Support - Black (9252001)

Wow! I never thought I would be so impressed by something so ordinary as a mouse pad, yet, here I am writing my first review. I tend to work long hours in front of my computer (much to the dismay of my wrists) and I've found that mouse pads with built-in wrist support are the only thing keeping my wrists from quitting on me. Unfortunately, most of the mouse pads I've gone through have had at least one major flaw:1) Size - If only mouse pads w/ wrist support would come in greater varieties/sizes I wouldn't have to settle for mouse pads that are just too damn large for my keyboard area. Ok, so this is more of an issue having to do with aesthetics - having your keyboard draped over your mouse pad is just unsightly.2) Material (Top) - I'm currently using the Cooler Master Storm Recon mouse and I find that most of the mouse pads I've used (my most recent one being of the Allsop variety) just don't play well with this type of mouse. I would either have to boost the sensitivity to ridiculous levels or live with reduced accuracy.3) Material (Bottom) - I pick up and move my mouse around quite often and (once again) most mouse pads don't have the necessary amount of grip to keep it from sliding around every five seconds.4) Wrist Support - All of my previous mouse pads have fallen into one of these camps: too hard, too soft, or just perfect (but only for a week and then there's an indentation right down the middle that won't spring back).And this is how this Fellowes mouse pad stacks up to all of the other mouse pads that have let me down -1) Size - Just what my computer desk asked for. It's a small mouse pad that is longer than it is wide but with enough width that I don't find myself constrained. I do have to note that I: have small hands, use a small mouse, use a claw grip (instead of a palm grip) to handle the mouse and thus, I am constantly picking it up whenever I move it.2) Material (Top) - My mouse just glides on this thing! Contrary to what was said on one of the other reviews for this product, laser mice will, indeed, work just fine on this thing. I now find my mouse to be much more accurate and easier to drag around.3) Material (Bottom) - The bottom of this mouse pad is pretty damn sticky. I can see how this may prove a negative to people that have this mouse pad lying on certain materials that don't play nice with the absurd amount of stickiness (glass, etc). I, on the other hand, use this mouse pad on a plywood desk and it works just fine. Actually, I love that I don't have to worry about my mouse pad flying around due to the tiniest amount of movement.4) Wrist Support - Firm yet with a decent amount of give. The middle sinks in just enough to prove comfortable and snaps right back into shape once you remove your wrist. So far I'm loving this wrist support, but I'll come back and do an update in a few months to see how it's fairing after a good deal of abuse.Oh, and did I mention it's antimicrobial! Now you can let your friends use your computer without fear of their germs lingering around your mouse pad long after they're gone. Note: this may not be seen as such a huge deal for people that aren't as disturbed by germs as I am.And at around $10 this mouse pad won't break the bank.So to sum up...I give this mouse pad a glowing five star review. It is exactly what I wanted (and more). I think I'll go ahead and buy another just in case they stop making these for whatever asinine reason.

This review is for the: Fellowes PlushTouch Mouse Pad/Wrist Rest with FoamFusion Technology, Black (9252001)I purchased this wrist rest after beginning to develop a repetitive stress injury (RSI) due to using a mouse at work. It has significantly alleviated my RSI issues. More generally, this is the best wrist rest I have ever used. When you buy stuff like this over the internet, you can never truly know what it feels like, so I'm going to give you a funny but perfect comparison: it has the density and softness of the fat on your thighs. Unlike a lot of memory foam products, it also returns to its original shape immediately (just like if you pushed on your thigh).The fabric is soft and does not stick to your skin. It feels (but does not look) like incredibly soft velvet. Even though the fabric is dark black, it is not a dust magnet: The knap of the fabric is too tight for specks of food and dust to get stuck in it.The base has a sticky substance that holds to my desk very firmly, even when it gets a substantial amount of dust on it. And, as a another reviewer said, if you wash the dust off, it returns to its original stickiness. (The sticky substance leaves NO residue on the desk.)Again: the perfect, best wrist rest.I am attaching two pictures to show you the size of the mouse pad relative to a normal-sized mouse. I have moderately large hands, so I'm also attaching a picture of me holding the mouse so you can see its small desk footprint. Despite being small, it is large enough that you will never need to take the mouse off of the pad if you have it set to the right speed on your computer.

after a month of use I can say that this mouse pad is very comfy.the wrist rest gives good support not too soft and not too firm, just right.at first touch the pad surface didn't feel as nice coming from old Fellowes Memory foam one which had hard plastic-like surface area... but after about three days of use this mouse pad surface feels like home.the only bad thing I can say is that long fast moves make friction sound which some may find annoying.for me it's not an issue.I hope it will stay in good shape unlike my old Fellowes Memory foam one which had a design flaw (I had two units and both of them suffer from the same issue) that after about 3-4 month of use the plastic in the middle of the surface deformed to a small bulge.I'll update this review if the mouse pad suffer from same fate.a mouse pad should survive at least two years to be consider good in my opinion

It's not just foam. At first, I was disappointed it wasn't just foam. It's kinda like a foamy gel... or maybe it is foam but unlike any foam that I have ever experienced.The surface material is soft and smooth, and the foam is soft too but seems to have a spring when you remove your hand. Otherwords, it goes back to its original shape. I haven't had it long but I assume it'll retain its shape well.Im sure everyone talks about how nice the foam is but let me just say...as i said already, the surface material is really soft and smooth. Really helps with the comfort. Its got some substance and quality to the build. And the bottom is DEFINITELY non-slip. I have been advertised non-slip before by other manufacturers and was not impressed. This is non-slip AF.My only advice is get it. The plush foam is quiet high. I like it as close to my wrist (near my palm) as possible than further down my arm. So just keep that in mind. The angle / height of your desk will affect how any mouse pad (padded or not) will feel.
