(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best writs rests

Well, I would encourage you to hit up your local Best Buy or Microcenter (whichever is in your area) to check out the gaming mouses and keyboards on display to get a better idea of the "popular" options available. Most electronics stores with a PC gaming section will likely have the Blackwidow and G502 on display.

​

The Logitech G502 is a widely used mouse that a lot of people love. I use one myself and really like it. There's a newer version called the G502 Hero that uses Logitech's current flagship sensor. There's also a wireless version that's evidently just as responsive as the wired one, but it will run you roughly $150. But personally, I don't think it's worth it unless you really like the G502 and really want to eliminate that extra wire running across your desk. For some people, the premium is worth it for a cleaner looking setup. But Logitech is probably at the forefront in terms of wireless gaming mouse performance, so you'd probably be best off sticking with their offerings if you're concerned about wireless input latency and whatnot.

​

As far as keyboards go, I would say to avoid Razer since their stuff is a bit overpriced for the quality, but I mean...if you really like the Blackwidow's aesthetics and the typing experience it offers and aren't too concerned about price, then go for it I guess. People like what they like, after all. But Corsair and Coolermaster also make pretty good keyboards, so give those a looking at before you pull the trigger. Logitech probably has some decent offerings too, but I personally don't like the look of their keyboards, so I always avoid them. If you are super in to RGB lighting and want all the insane effects, then Corsair will be your best bet. I figured out how to use the lighting profile editor in the iCUE software within a day and made a few pretty cool lighting profiles for myself. You can do all sorts of neat layering to make some really dynamic looking presets.

Anyway, I personally use this keyboard. iKBC makes some really great boards for the money. This board in particular has the density of a dying star, the silent red switches it uses feel pretty good to game on and more importantly it doesn't annoy the hell out of my friends over Discord like my old keyboard that had brown switches did. If you don't like the the smaller tenkeyless layout, then they make a full size version that's not much more expensive. Same excellent build quality and everything. If you decide to go with one of the iKBC boards, then I highly recommend buying a comfy wrist rest as well. They don't come with their own. I bought this one and like it a lot. It's the perfect length and thickness for my MF87. If you go for the full size MF108, then buy the large sized version of that wrist rest instead, otherwise it will be too short.

I've never used the square ones from PC Gaming Race so I unfortunately don't have an opinion on that. I did buy a couple of the most popular ones on Amazon after reading reviews.

This one, Le Petit Mouse Cushion by Imak is my all-time favorite. It's the perfect size and height for my wrists when my arms are at the same height as my desk. It's has just enough support, but not too much. More importantly, two sides - one is a soft cloth that does a great job clinging to most mousepads, and the other side has very smooth bumps that let it glide everywhere which is perfect for when I'm playing games and moving my mouse everywhere.

The Handstands Add-A-Pad is my second favorite and the one I use at work. Be warned though, plenty of reviews were right - too many beads at first! I have smaller wrists and using it at first caused MORE pain since it would sit my wrist so high. After removing ~40% of the beads over the course of a couple times, I found exactly the amount of support I needed. Sewed it up and it's much better!

How about another way of gaining table top space? I have explored the idea of using that same worktable as a desk and 24" depth is a bit shallow for a tradition computer gear on it. I'm assuming you have a keyboard, monitor and mouse on the desktop, but what about attaching the monitors to a flexible arm the attaches to the back edge of the desk.

https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Premium-Single-Monitor-Stand/dp/B00MIBN16O/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=monitor+arm&qid=1563223059&s=electronics&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&sr=1-3

That way you gain all the space the the monitor stand takes up and can slide the keyboard back a bit for forearm resting space.

Or attach a forearm rest to the front of the desk, https://www.amazon.com/Pauner-Forearm-Support-Better-Keyboard/dp/B01CD4K0OQ

​

Basically the tabletop is heavy duty and great to use, and without enough tools, there aren't a lot of great solutions to fabricate new or additional space.

Google up gel wrist rest. I have 2 for both mouse and keyboard and it works wonders, but of course don't count on "this one thing fix your problem". Swimming is awesome for problems like pain in joints. Basically every form of move is great, but swimming has an advantage of not putting much pressure on joints whereas you can exercise muscles. The stronger the muscles, the less strain is put on joints.

Yeah I love the Outemu switches, keycaps are Maxkey SA black on white. Wrist rest is from Amazon, I think kbdfans and others sell the exact same one, here is the link.

I just recieved this one yesterday and i am extremly satisfied with it. I was already used to resting my wrist/pads on a wooden desk, so it wasn't a change for me. The material, despite being wood, is actually more comfortable than my actually wooden desk, wich was a nice surprise. In addition to that looks premium aswell. But beware that the Onyx one doesnt actually looks like the picture one, instead it's more or less a hard to describe half matte black. If you would be intrested i could provide a picture. Overall the perfect wrist wrest for my use case.

I don't know about your wrist, but what solved my wrist pain was a claw grip mouse like the logitech g502. And these things which I absolutely can't live without now:

http://www.amazon.com/Allsop-29809-Comfortbead-Wrist-keyboard/dp/B000XV16LS/

Tablets are great for drawing-like uses. But a huge pain for other things, though plenty of people use them. A cintiq might be a little easier because the screen is right under the pen, but they're pretty expensive.

I like this. I love other accessories because I find them infinitely cheaper to buy, and more fun to experiment with and become enthusiast about.

Desk: Generic brand standing desk. Was standing, now I'm sitting, but I'm thinking about changing back because it hurts my wrist.

Keyboard: Qisan Magicforce 68 Cherry MX Brown | Tai Hao Miami | 2x Fungkey | Purple Grifiti: final product

Mouse: Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum, previously Logitech G502

Mousepad: World of Warcraft TCG Battleground Master - Deathwing playmat, or other playmats. Probably should get a "real" mousemat at some point.

Monitor: Alienware 2310 @ 120hz, BenQ FP241W @ 60hz - Really need to upgrade, thinking about going ultrawide.

Headset: HyperX Cloud Stinger

Chair: Some random office chair, I'd like a racing chair if I don't end up going back to standing.

Don't know if you have sorted this yet and only just joined the UK page, but I went for this one the other week and highly recommend it. I got it from Overclockers UK, they don't seem to have the TKL one in stock on their site currently but have it available via their amazon store here. You can use the dropdown to choose the stealth version in TKL. I went the slim version so only 13mm thick but does the job perfectly for me.

Thanks a lot!

It's just a desk from IKEA. Give me a couple minutes to find it on their site. It's one of their build-it-yourself deals, and the drawers aren't actually attached to the desk...not ideal, but totally cool for college.

Amazon Link for the wristrest.

I'd highly recommend it, despite the price!

Sure, bought this one for the keyboard and this one for the mouse

They are pretty solid but still pretty soft and have a kind of neoprene feel to them. As I said above I only had them for about a day now but I like them so far.

Thanks!

They are super comfortable. Here is the link.

There are a few palm rest stickers on Amazon, I just recently bought one, works great and fits perfectly on my Alienware 17 R4. Also comes with a handy keyboard protector. Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/Palmrest-Touchpad-Keyboard-Protector-Alienware/dp/B01MXFAK07/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1495480184&sr=8-2

Wrist rest: www.amazon.com/dp/B072PVQNNY/
Comes in multiple sizes and is affordable. Might get a bamboo wrist rest or make one myself later. For now I like this.
The other thing is this: www.amazon.com/dp/B0759DRHVN/
Some people had complaints about it but for a trackball mouse it's perfect in my opinion. I do a lot of programming and a fair bit of 3D modeling.

These are really nice. I have 2 different size ones. Very comfy.

Also, if you're still looking for a wrist rest I like this one: it's a good height, and slightly smaller (1/2 inch maybe) than the full length of the vibe but looks good in front of it.

I got the measurements from a kind fellow on /r/mk already, thanks though! Now I just gotta find somewhere to source foam pads kind of like these: https://www.amazon.ca/Notebook-Silicone-Reposition-Travelling-MacBooks/dp/B00CMJ1S8A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483469476&sr=8-1&keywords=macbook+wrist+rest

Not sure I want to pay $17 for some foam and adhesive. If I can source it from AliExpress, that'd be awesome.

Anyone recommend a mouse wrist rest? Have been using this for a while and it's perfect for everything except FPS games where I need to move my arm, end up having to keep picking up and re positioning my mouse a lot.

I use a mouse pad with a wrist rest (for blood circulation)(picture here: http://www.amazon.com/Fellowes-PlushTouch-FoamFusion-Technology-9252001/dp/B008CO5VGE). Over time, the center of the wrist rest will become slightly indented, and it will hold your hand in 1 normal place. Also (this works because i'm a righty, adjust yourself if you're a lefty) my left arm presses on my chair's arm rest when i play, leading to an indent similar to the mouse pad - which also holds myself in 1 normal conferable position. All you need are cushions and constant computer time.

> No wrist rest

but in this way you can customize it with something cool like this one

I actually ordered it from Amazon. Here's the link: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B071ZJWFWM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​

It would however be very easy to make yourself. It's just a piece of stained wood with two pieces of rubber on the bottom.

For comedic effect I recommend this.

You're looking for palm rest covers. Something like this:

Sure.

Looks like is one:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7J1OSV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_IWrODbN29BWVF

Looks like it could be this one, or at least very similar.

these palm pads from Amazon.

saw somewhere on this subreddit to try them out to be able to rest my wrist on the Alcantara without the fear of staining it....

not OP but I have one. And it's true, it is uncomfortable to use without a wrist wrest. That is, if you type with incorrect posture.

If you're used to typing with the heels of your hands sitting on a desk or rest, then yes, you will find the K2 to be uncomfortably tall. However, this kind of typing posture can hurt your wrists long-term.

The wrist rest Keychron sells to go with the K2 is still a bit too short in my opinion. A lot of people seem to be happy with the Grifiti fat pad: https://www.amazon.com/GRIFITI-Thinner-10keyless-Keyboards-Mechanical/dp/B01N7J1OSV?ref_=ast_bbp_dp

Bottom line: Use correct posture (elevated wrists), or get a thick rest.

I could either add a little bit of cash, or I could give you the matching wrist rest along with the keyboard as a straight trade.

They're silicon wrist rests off Amazon

I found a similar one on Amazon: Yellow Color Bread Shape Soft Keyboard Pad Wrist Pad Wrist Rests for Keyboards (Bread Shape) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HXGEUP4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_4RIZAbGXE43HX

Only problem is although hard surfaces wont get very hot, they will rub against your wrist, possibly causing heat on your skin.

best option I know of is this

I have the keyboard version and it does not get hot.. but then again, I live in dry, southern California, so I wouldn't know in humid areas.

why did I buy that wooden wrist rest, I always get the urge to hit my self with it.

Assuming you already have some sort of mouse mat, these things work wonders for the wrist when gaming.

You can get ones that are attached to a shitty little mat, like this, but to be honest they're shit and I'd avoid them.
