[@Dusty.Spinster]

The glorious wooden rest in Onyx seems to have paint issues. My paint started coming off within a week of getting it. For cleaning cloth rests, automotive interior cleaner and a microfiber cloth works wonders with to lift the dead cells and junk from the cloth.

[@Zamm1n]

The stuff you said about proper ergonomics and taking care of yourself early is such good advice. I always use a wrist rest (Glorious PCGR 13mm Stealth) with my keyboard. The same sort of general advice applies to gaming mice too. I learnt the hard way how important it is to use a mouse that is comfortable for your hand size and grip if you do a lot of gaming. Last year when the Model O came out I bought it as my first ultralight mouse. It was also my first ambidextrous mouse, with my previous mains being a Rival 600, G403 and Mamba Wireless. The shape felt really awkward to me at first but the light weight was fantastic. However using it for more than 30 mins would start to strain my hand, and eventually lead to my hand feeling sore. I asked some folks online if it was just a matter of getting used to a grip I wasn't used to, and I was told that after about a month I would adapt to it and the strain would disappear. Well, it didn't. Instead of listening to my body, I kept using it because the light weight made it easy to hit flick shots and I felt like that gave me an advantage. Then one day I jumped on my PC to play some Titanfall 2 and my wrist started hurting straight away. It's been almost a year since then and I'm still feeling the affects of it even though I'm back to using ergo mice (thankfully lightweight ergos are a thing now). No, it's not carpal tunnel or anything like that, but I now have to limit my play time each day until I fully recover. So if you're reading this and you're finding yourself feeling sore when gaming or afterward, don't do what I did. Do whatever you need to do to get your setup comfortable and suitable for YOU. Look after yourself, listen to your body. Don't use a specific set of peripherals just because your favorite streamer does, we are all different. Don't trade strain/pain for a small advantage or aesthetics. A comfortable wrist rest and a suitable mouse will help you avoid excessive strain and you'll be able to play for longer and improve more as a result. Great video Brian, I'd really like to see more of this kind of stuff on the channel in the future. :)

[@SuperShadowmasterZ]

Amazingly detailed review, glad I found your channel! Felt like you tried to cram as much info in as possible within the video time rather than what other creators do with padding it out with empty content, very much appreciated!

[@llapadula1234]

I've switched over to the hyper x wrist rest with cooling gel and it might be my favorite wrist rest to date. A lot of the other ones I've used have made my hands really sweaty but with this one I've never had that issue.

[@Liamfolz]

is it easy to clean? i really wanted that wooting one cause its simply a wipe and its clean but the price + shipping was crazy being in the UK.

[@MascotR]

Your reviews are so amazing dude! I can't explain! The value from your information unmatched so far! Thank you for what you do! Anyone buying a wrist rest should watch this video before they make a decision. The depth of your review is very visible!

[@andisir]

I cannot stress how helpful your channel has been for someone making the switch to PC

[@vitaliyartstudi0]

I created mechanical wrist rest. It is something new. Hand feels like in air. For so many years gaming I have a problem with my left hand. It is a real problem. So now I have best wrist rest that really work!

[@blueridge8992]

I'm an ergonomics nerd and I've tried so many wrist rests. The best BY FAR is the Sanwa Gel from Japan (available with Prime shipping on Amazon US). It's seriously endgame for wrist rests. Perfect height for a mech keyboard, perfect length for a 60-65%, and it's made of insanely comfortable memory gel that's covered in supple matte faux leather that looks hella classy. It manages to be so soft that it feels luxurious (and cradles your wrists nicely) yet it's very supportive and always regains its shape a few seconds after you move your arms away. It's SO much better than the lame "memory foam" coated in vinyl or spandex that everyone else uses. Plus the Sanwa is just black with no logos or silly colors so it fits a murdered out desk setup perfectly.

[@badseedtech]

Man you SOLD that! I only knew Sanwa made arcade buttons for my fight stick. I only see L and S on Amazon, whats the move?

[@blueridge8992]

BadSeed Tech haha like I said I’m an ergo nerd and after trying the rest, the Sanwa is truly the one. Looks like the Medium (300mm) is off the menu at Amazon so I’m going to send some emails and I’ll get back to you. I have an eBay store so I’ll carry them if I have to but it’s probably just a supply chain issue.

[@blueridge8992]

BadSeed Tech just an update to my previous comment. Sanwa says the Medium size gel wrist rest is on the way and should be back in stock on Amazon US within the next 2 weeks!

[@otak_]

Okay so, first, thank you for making this video. I have multiple wrist injuries (on both hands) due to excessive high APM gaming on controllers. I'm nearing 30 and I developed De Quervain's tenosynovitis with minor carpal & cubital tunnel syndromes on both hands. Also I'm a software engineer so typing is basically how I get my income. Using a proper keyboard (I'm running X-bows) basically saved my hands in terms of typing, but can't forget that a wrist rest is really really important. I tend to prefer silicone ones btw (again, running X-bows's wrist rest, recommended it to friends for completely other keyboards and they love it, you should check it out) as they are easy to clean and they don't give in, causing a bad wrist orientation. Kinda a mix between comfortable and super firm. Cheers!

[@TheTlssst]

I bought the Glorious Wooden Keyboard Wrist Rest a few moths back. It stays cool, is easy to clean and is a perfect fit for the Ducky SF. If you take away one thing from this video, listen to the importance of ergonomics. I'm 55 and I know soft tissue injuries are for life. Game now and game forever. Proper positioning of chairs, desks and wrists rests are the key to longevity. How about a chair and desk review Brian?

I didn't think I would watch this all but it was very interesting and very informative of what to look out for. Thanks for the great video brian!

[@SpartanLaserCanon]

Nice reviews dude. I like how you actually went over what you think about cleaning them too.

[@wh3atus]

You should never rest your wrist on anything. First, the weight of the arm will then press on your traverse carpal ligament. Second, it encourages ulnar and radial deviation of the wrist (left and right twists). Third,it robs you of the proper alignment of the wrist and fourth it robs you of the power of the arm. There is no static motion the wrist should be held in because it is a fulcrum. Its proper alignment simply transfers the power of the arm into the finger tips or device. Just like your ankles are flexible, what position should they be in when you walk? Well, they take on several positions and are never static. They are used to transfer the weight of your body into the ground. If you were to walk on the outside or inside of your foot, they would begin to ache because your weight is now going into the foot and not the ground. Likewise, the power of the arm must pass through the wrist, through the fingers and into the device you are using. Isolate or “rest” any part of your body and all your gravitational force will stop in that body part then you’ll go see a doctor who tells you you have a “repetitive stress injury” but really you’ll have an injury because you move incorrectly.

I've been prone to tendonitis in my left hand due to gaming since I was 15. I don't game much anymore, but I'm a writer in college and type literally all day every day. Past week my tendonitis got extremely bad. Excruciating pain in my arm and shoulder. Can't type anything in the middle of the semester for an entire week. Make sure you have good posture and ergonomics.

[@M117chief.]

I recently go my 1st wrist rest and it's the Glorious. I love it, I was getting aches in my hands and wrist area when typing, this rest has cleared that. I know he said to not put the weight of my hands on it too much but I find for me it makes everything just better and I actually feel like I've increased my typing speed a little too. I'm on a TKL so I've not found myself resting on the logo either so no issue there and so far it's keeping clean pretty well. Awesome video as always.

[@MrCreator91]

Did you try the hyperx wrist pad before it is very good

[@SpideyDiG]

HyperX is very good as I have 2 of them. Supportive and comfortable. Too bad it was in the video.

[@NaoKeysVT]

Yesss thank you for covering this. Ergonomics are so overlooked. It doesn't help that most desks aren't built with ergonomics in mind. Currently using an older tkl foam wrist rest, but it looks crazyyy for 60%. Really wish the Wooting one came in 60%

I used the Glorious Wristrest for over a year and yes...the cardboard shit really evaporates after a few cleaning sessions. It was not pretty in the end. I bought me the Wooting Wrist Rest as soon as it became available. It was a huge adjustment phase. My wrist really sunk into the Glorious one and then there suddenly was resistance in it with the wooting. But I really like the Wooting now. And it is easy to clean...put it in the bathroom sink for 5 minutes, drop it somewhere to dry, looks like day one. The only thing that is annoying: When it is hot I literally get sweat puddles on there. You can actually see it on there like you spilt water on it. But atleast it does not get in there like on the Glorious one. :D

[@Rechain]

I use 2 of HyperX’s wrist rests, for both mouse & keyboard. They are great & they have a cooling effect, they help me a lot when using my PC for longer periods of time 👍 you didn’t mentioned them? But great video, it’s a actually an important part of this. Didn’t thought of it, first a few months ago. Should have used it for years now. Also, I’m always moving my arms, also the mouse - but it helps resting my arm on an wrist rest while using the mouse. I’m not locking my arm/hand in position, but I just relax much more while using the mouse beside keyboard.

[@SpideyDiG]

HyperX is a very good wrist rest and I have 2 as well and use them for kb and mouse. The one for my mouse I use just my palm as I don’t really move my arm all too much for gaming. HyperX needed to be in the video for sure.

At this point I get worse carpal in my mouse hand, I find a gel rest when using a mouse helps a lot. But I have it an inch or two behind my wrist, it changes the angle of my hand and makes using the mouse much more comfortable for long gaming sessions now that I'm in my 50's.
