Kensington Blue & Black Gel Ventilated Ergonomic Mouse Mat with Wrist Rest

I have had this mousemat for a while now and its still great. I used to have an old dell mouse (Dell are rubbish dont buy Dell btw). Anyway, when this mat was new it had a great grip and traction on the track ball in the dell mouse. The many dimpled surface has worn a bit but it still grips the track ball as well as it ever did.I upgraded to a laser mouse about a year ago, as that works perfectly as well, no problems whatsoever. I cant really comment on optical mice, but from my experience most of them felt cheap and jumped to the end of the screen a lot from subtle movements anyway.As for the wristrest itselt, its amazingly squidgey, you'll be poking fun at it for ages, though this was my first gel rest. Something that is annoying is that others who sit at your desk will try to pop it open so the gel oozes out, this hasnt happed though despite great efforts from various people. The rest is on the firm side and of course plastic coated rather than the softer fabric coated belkin gel rests.Another fantasic thing about it is that the underside of the mat is made from sticky squidgey rubber that will adhere to any flat surface, so it wont move about while your using it. This can lead to the eventualy build up of dust and debris on the underside, but you can rinse it off... its all plastic.For me its great, makes my pc seem 100 pounds more expensive due to its professional look. Be warned however, if you need a large mat or use your mouse in large turning circle movements this will not suffice, and it will not replace a gaming mat, which arent comfortable at all but ensure you wont run the mouse off the mat easily. But im a gamer dabbling in the old Oblivion and UT3 goodness and i have not a problem with it...BUY IT.

Very nice gel-rest mouse mat. Works with my trackball just fine. Good for gaming. It's larger than the pictures of it convey, a good large size. Pretty much anti-slip. Cost more than the other mats but definitely worth it.

Spending many hours in front of a PC began to cause some wrist strain. I began using an ergonomic mouse which significantly improved the pain. However, I came across this mouse mat with gel pad and decided to add this to my home office with a view to further improving my dilemma.The mouse mat itself is robust and certainly made from quality material with a non-slip base. The gel pad in particular is nice and soft; there is plenty of space on the mouse mat surface for the mouse to move around freely.Unfortunately, I found my wrist pain worsened when using a vertical ergonomic mouse in conjunction with this mouse mat, largely due to the gel pad compressing the ulner nerve which runs down the side of the wrist towards the little finger. After thirty minutes of use I was in agony.I decided to try the mouse mat with a regular mouse and found it was fantastic in providing the much needed wrist support required when the hand is in this position. The gel pad is very comfortable when the wrist lays upon it and feels quite soothing as it is cool to the touch.If you are using a regular mouse, this is a great solution to minimise wrist pain.

Really nice quality. Exactly as I thought it would be

This looks great in my office, the gel pad is really soft and it comes with a non slip surface underneath so it doesn’t move around.

I needed a mouse mat for use on a glass desk top where my optical mouse was refusing to work. When it arrived I was pleased to see that it was made of really good quality materials as I admit it's not the cheapest of mouse mats on the market. The base of the mat is manufactured in such a way that it appears to glue itself to the surface of the desk, when in fact there's no adhesive on the base at all, but when I say 'appears to glue itself' I really mean it appears to GLUE itself to the surface. Fantastic! So no more slipping and sliding while you're trying your best to move figures from one Excel cell to another. The firmness of the palm rest has also been very well designed and they've managed to strike just the right balance between too soft and too hard. All in all it looks very stylish, it's made well, and does exactly what it's say's on the box. And the best thing... my mouse now works on the glass desk top.

I bought this Ergonomic Mousepad to use at work in the office, as I was beginning to get pain in my wrist and felt I needed to do something about it before it turned to something more serious.I've been using it for 8 hours a day for a few months now, and my wrist pain has disappeared entirely. The mousepad itself is about a centimetre thick and feels like it will last for a long time. The underside is extremely grippy and will not slide on laminate, wood or glass.There are 2 separate gel pads, as the product picture shows, and this not only looks attractive, but is functional in delivering extra ventilation to the base of your wrist on those stuffy days in the office. It does actually seem to work as opposed to just being a gimmick. I was concerned when looking at the pictures that the gel pads may not be substantial enough, but they're the perfect height.In terms of durability of the gel pads, I've not managed to puncture one yet, and I've accidentally stabbed them with my pen a fair few times, so I'm confident that I won't be experiencing any messy mishaps any time soon.One minor gripe I have is that my mouse makes a strange squeaky noise as it travels over the textured surface of the pad. I think this might be something to do with my mouse though, as the pad bits on the mouse have sharp edges.Other than this, I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to reduce wrist pain caused by heavy mouse usage. There are cheaper Ergonomic mousepads, but this one really is worth the extra few bob.

Really good it’s my second mat, the wrist support is great.

Best purchase ever for my mouse at work (and gosh knows I've been through a lot). MUST BUY if you don't want to develop carpal tunnel. Even bought two more for my mom for her home and work!

Comfortable to use and looks nice on my desk

Just fine.
