Advantages: Comfortable, easy to use Disadvantages: Need regular sized mouse
I broke my wrist about 10 years ago when I was in year 6, and since then it gets quite painful when i overwork it or put too much pressure on it.
This includes using the computer and in particular my mouse, I think becuase you have to hold you hand in the same posistion and no blood can circulate, also your wrist needs more support.
Ideally your hand and arm should remain level, when I visited my sister I used her mousepad with a hand rest. It was very comfortable so I decided to invest in one myself, this one only cost me about £4 from Amazon.
The pad is a nice dark blus colour, it looks just like a regular mousepad apart from the gel cusion at the bottom that you rest your wrist on. I think it has definately helped me but unfortunatelty I have a 'mini souris' (little mouse), which is very cute but I think it means that my wrsit ...
Advantages: Comfortable and looks nice? Disadvantages: ? but it's somewhat expensive for a mouse pad
, actually, but the curves in it are there to suit the curves in your hand and give you even more comfort. The soft gel is supposed to distribute the pressure and keep your hand cool, and I definitely agree with this.
All in all, I would say this is a mousepad that makes using your mouse much more comfortable, it looks great, and it is not very expensive. Different designes fro this mouse are available and in different colours, like Kensington Duo GelMouse Wristrest Clip - Mousepad with wristpillow - purple, green. You can also buy Kensington Duo Gel Wristrest Wave - Keyboard wristrest - black, red, to make typing even more comfortable.

I was given the Belkin gel mousepad as a gift from my sister,
I have mild arthritis in my hands and had been using the basic flat as a pancake mousepad for a long time and noticed that my wrist and hand where begining to ache after an hour or so at the computer,
I mentioned this to my sister who said she would get a gel mousepad for me as she uses this type at work and it gives a really good support to the wrist.
Since using the gel mousepad I've noticed a big difference,
I dont get any of the aches anymore and its much more comfortable and easier to use the mouse,
I've had mine for 7 months, have never had to clean it and it's as good as new.
