Fellowes Gel Flex Transparent Mini Wrist Rest (Blue Crystal) – Customer Reviews
Smells Awful
-
The product works well and stayed firm, but the smell is horrible and will not go away. It smells like a solvent is leeching out. I was hoping it would go away, but after several weeks my office still smells like someone spilled a bottle of mineral spirits over those old vinyl capes from Star Wars figures.

It worksfor me.. for my 10 - 15 hours a day. I have the orange version. This does not smell. Does not stick and stays cool with hot weather.

Saved my wrist.
-
I did a lot of digital "painting" with my mouse (before I could afford a tablet) and was destroying my wrist in the process. In theattempt to save myself some long-term pain, I invested in the $10 gel wrist protector and have not been disappointed. It isn't a cure all but is extremely, extremely benefical. I use the computer 10+ hours every day and would be in agony if I didn't use the wrist pad. It should come standard with a computer.I didn't encounter any smell with my purchase. Even putting my nose to it and sniffing, I can't smell anything. So if there was a smell originally, it's completely gone away now. (I've had it over a year though.)I definitely recommend anyone who is having pain in their wrist to try this product, and to consider investing in a Wacom or similar tablet, as it's a little less strenuous on the wrist.

Works perfectly.

My one concern -- that my wrist would get sweaty and stick to a "gel" wrist gaurd has been alleyed.The wrist guard does not get hot under my wrist, and does not stick.It is the perfect height and offers optimal support. (This revew seems a little intense for a five dollar wrist guard, but I do like it...)

Smells Terrible!

This would be a GREAT product is the chemical smell was not so bad and last so long.It has a horrible smell that just will not go away.I saw others mention the same issue but thought I would give it a try.It smells.
Other than that, the comfort is great.But I gave it 2 weeks to air out and the smell will not go away.I would suggest you don't buy this is you have a sensitive nose.It kinda smells like those squishy foam beds and slippers you see at Brookstone.4/27/2006 12:00 AM | Rating:
