Belkin WaveRest (keyboard wrist rest) Review:
The Belkin WaveRest Gel-filled Cushion Rest Pad is the bestselling keyboard wrist rest in the market today. Two reasons – one, is because it’s inexpensive, two, is because it works. It is your modern day standard wrist rest, which primary use is to cushion and elevate your wrist to let your hand position correctly while typing. The wave design support contours to fit the curves of your wrist, which helps promote natural forearm movement. The gel filling technology is now rising trend when it comes to hand cushioning, also seen with stressballs. It has been found as very comfy and effective.
A good thing about a branded and separately purchased keyboard wrist rest is it is more comfortable to use than any other built-in wrist rest that comes with a keyboard. For instance, with Belkin WaveRest, you don’t have to use your forearms when you want to take a nap then and there while working. Having mentioned it, it’s a wonder whey keyboard wrist rests are sold separately when purchasing keyboards or even laptops, when a wrist rest is more of a necessity.
Now on to the negative part of the review. Some notice it has a weird smell to it. Maybe because of the type of materials that made this keyboard wrist rest. Not bothersome, but just a noticeable smell. Also, overtime there will be a noticeable shrinking of cushion on the area where you often put your wrist onto. No Belkin, it is not that durable.
Effectiveness:
Hurting wrists are triggered when you move or bend them in a certain way. Having a keyboard wrist rest prevents the wrists to move in a freely and random repetitive movements since it will be just there lying on its couch comfortably. The more a wrist takes time to rest, to better it is to hasten the healing process. Frequently straining your wrists in an undesirable manner just worsens the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
