Advantages: Comfortable gel pad, Height adjustable

Disadvantages: Can be uncomfortable sometimes

The Kensington height adjustable gel keyboard rest is a comfortable way of typing or using your mouse. That's the reason I got one of these even though I don't use it much now.

The keyboard rest consists of a comfortable gel pillow which is a conveniently designed mould to adapt the shape of your wrist. This distributes the pressure you apply more evenly. It also has height adjustment for two different heights. This is done by removing the gel pillow, turning the base over.

The design is solid and sturdy with added grip on the base making it skid proof. It will not bug you by constantly moving around. The keyboard rest comes in two different colours, black and blue.

Main features and functions:
- Height adjustable
- Gel keyboard/mouse rest
- Black or blue
- 554 x 86 x 50 cm
- 713 g

Overall this is a good thing to have if you're on you PC and type a lot. It can be used as a mouse wrist rest. It is very comfortable once you get used to the slight levitation of the unit. It has also helped as I stopped getting cramps in my wrist while typing a lot. As mentioned before I don't use it much now but occasionally pull it out when I know I'm going to be typing for long periods of time. I also sometimes use it as a wrist rest for the mouse when not typing as much. It does sometimes though does become uncomfortable slightly due to the levitation, maybe it's just me. I got this for around £5 from PC world, it was on offer.

Summary: It's good to use sometimes
