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.

[@byOrbaa]

Auramech has been killing it, he said in today's stream no more Groub Buys which is awesome he said he wants to have stuff in stock for the Purple Storm, and Blood mousepad, also said there will be a limited drop soon

[@fandetti77]

Must underrated channel on the internet, but I am sure not for long. Amazing videos, amazing content, and amazing personality and presentation. I am 43, a gamer and love the learning experience you provide. Thank you, and I am sure to see you at a million viewers soon!

[@Kirbydrinksmtndew]

Perfect timing I just started looking around for a wrist wrest! As always great videos

[@frombrosis]

I purchased the Wooting wrist rest after watching this video and it arrived yesterday. Have to say that I'm impressed with the quality and happy with my purchase. Thanks again 👍

[@ksptm4]

thank you for this video dude. as somebody that works from home and also is a PC gamer heading towards mid to late thirties, i've developed "mouse elbow". Having a video like this to help decide the options out there is a god send. wish more people would make this sort of content. thank you :D have a sub!

Man your production value is so insane and the b-roll clips always have me dying laughing. Loved this vid an actually have me looking at some wrist rest currently, keep up the great work man

[@knockonwood8814]

Just got the blood thirsty wrist rest and matching desk mat. Thanks for the vid !

[@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.

[@sasquipitillion7110]

Awesome round up man, favourite tech tuber by far. you just got that style

[@zeo_here]

Love the vid, busted me up pretty good. I bought a Glorious after I notice I was already feeling pain while only owning a pc for 2 weeks. All those years of skating and falling on my wrist caught up (I'm 28). I was using my mouse box til it got delivered haha

[@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%

[@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. :)

[@williamsantiago9284]

just picked up the razer cooling gel one two weeks ago and it’s been amazing i bought it to replace the terrible wrist rest on the corsair k95 platinum

[@andisir]

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

[@northwestclasspnw7974]

I just bought a tkl from glorious! The stealth edition specifically. It works AWESOMELY with my Razer Huntsmen tkl, it feels great to rest my hands on.

[@madds7719]

Hands down the best tech-tuber that I can vouch for time and time again! *Keepin’ it real my G*

[@MrCrayonSauce]

Thanks for all the videos! I legit watched your Ducky One 2 Mini videos like 4 times each before picking up a Frozen Llama Mecha Mini edition!

[@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.

[@MrSupernova111]

Good video! I learned a lot and I need to try some of these! Thanks!

[@stanallanson4644]

i run the glorious stealth compact 13mm and love it . Great video man .

[@xXDarthBagginsXx]

I've rocked a Ducky full size leather rest and have loved it, now the wife uses it w/ the fullsize Ducky she claimed from me. I do have to say it's worth the extra to go with a wooden rest from Glorious as that has been my daily driver for my wrists for the past few years when they launched them. I do plan on eventually getting a Aura Mech or a Moonkey Koi rest just due to the fact that they are stunning and really set a desk setup off.

[@MonstaBeats]

Great review on wrist rests. Can't play without one. Have the Razer and love it... Unfortunately the Pleather doesn't last. I've had two of them crack and peel and they look really bad. May go for the Pro version since it doesn't have the cheap Pleather on it.

[@johnyjoe2k]

There are some leather ones and the HyperX that you didn't mention. I personally have the Razer, HyperX, and a leather one. All feel amazing. Already tried hard wooden ones and plastic ones, like the ones that came with the Corsair K70, but those cause pain after a long session.

[@duncanbug]

I’m big and tall at 6 foot 7. So any video about improving desk ergonomics while gaming is essential for me. Great video as always! Also! Any recommendations for desk chairs for super tall guys would be appreciated! 😁

[@Dkidlee]

this was the episode I was looking forward to.

[@mikaelhuostila4005]

Because I do a lot of coding and gaming I found that typing feels so much better with a rest than without one. I use the Glorious Stealth TKL btw. Great review as always and the jokes were on point in this one. 👌

[@SleepyV3rt]

Nice, suggestions dude. Quick Suggestion for next video, since many people are working from home, would be able to do like chair guide also maybe. Or maybe like armrest cushions for those bad "gaming" chairs

[@magicmulder]

I had some issues with my right wrist last year and feared I was developing carpal tunnel, so I ditched my mouse for a trackball (Kensington Expert) and a foam/gel wrist rest (also Kensington), and haven’t had any issues since. For my keyboard I use Razer’s premium version but will also get an mStone glass one.

[@sleepiestgf]

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.

[@deesul4134]

TY i have wrist problems and this helped me

[@Blissful6393]

Fantastic video, subbed!

[@givemesubspls6407]

Have the same problem with a mouse rest for the same reason a break. Same arm, same wrist, mine was broken at 6 or 7 tho from a kid sitting on my hands on monkey bars and twisting their legs on my hands, also got a small concussion from hitting my head on metal poles.

[@relentlescobra6278]

Been here since about 100k idk how you dont have at least 2 to 3 mil subs, your the best tech, and all things alike youtuber

[@demoncleaner80]

I can relate, cause I'm probably similar age range (turn 40 in 7 months).... but check out the Novel Keys desk mats. They're thick enough that they help me from wearing out my wrists. I've tried the Glorious ones, but they didn't fit my wrists well somehow. Cooler Master had a nice one, but I got rid of it because it started getting gross, and I don't know if they still make them.

[@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?

[@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!

[@ayazpalekar1575]

yup. i tried using a 60% pad for a 60% keyboard. returned it in a couple days and got a larger one. Always go bigger is good advice. lol

[@the_womp_and_only9062]

I broke my wrists when I was four and then 10 so I like having a wrist rest but I do agree that you need a bigger size. I'm using Glorious's 60% rest on a Ducky One 2 SF and it's fine for gaming but not typing and coding.

[@Lwdw5000]

[@MrCreator91]

Bro you are amazing i was just browsing and was gonna buy the asus rog one till your video popped up

[@bugsenbunny]

Have u heard about carpio, its a mouse wristrest that moves with ur hand? Maybe worth looking into. I use it for some weeks already, its pretty comfy

[@Hyperstridez]

6:58 LOLL you really don't like that packaging 😂😂

[@imryden]

If people are looking for a cheap flat style wrist rest. Look up "coolermaster Wrist rest" it's pretty cheap and a great starter one. Hope this helps and always awesome vids Brian.

[@Mageoftheyear]

I use a wrist-rest mousepad for the same reason as you recommend it for keyboards - to maintain a straighter wrist. I find gaming without my Razer Vespula to be incredibly uncomfortable for my palm grip. I also hate mice with a tall hump too so I'm not sure how much of an edge case I am
