Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin WaveRest Gel Mouse Pad (Black)
Customer Review: Okay for mini mouse but not for full size mouse
Summary: 3 Stars
This Mouse Pad is made by Belkin, and hence there is no question about the quality. It works fine with my laser wireless mouse. The gel pad is neither too soft or too hard.
However, I am not very happy with this mouse pad. The mouse pad is medium sized and almost 1/4 space is taken by gel pad. This would be okay for mini mouse (travel mouse) but for a full size mouse like mine, there is not much space left for maneuver.
I guess if you have comfortable space on your desk for mouse and if you are keyboard junkie, you may not need this product.
The only reason I bought it was because it was cheap and I thought it will help with occasional Photoshop use. I am not using it everyday due to reasons mentioned above.
Take some time to learn shortcuts on Firefox/Windows and save that frequent trip to your mouse.
Customer Review: Not that great

I use a Logitech V200 Cordless Mouse - Black ( 931380-0403 ) for my laptop, and let me say this mousepad has not met my expectations.
First of all, out of the box, there was a slight bubble in the fabric, resulting in an elevated/loose area of the mouse pad. For such a price, I would expect such obvious product/quality defects to be absent.
Secondly, after some use/wear (for a few months), the mousepad started to become unresponsive to my mouse. The pointer would start jumping or not respond to certain areas on the mousepad. Also, the mousepad started to become "stickier" and my mouse would not glide very smoothly. And I know this is not my mouse or the computer, because I have tested other surfaces and the mouse worked just fine.
The only thing I can commend this mousepad for is that it's comfortable to use.
Customer Review: How I got it to work with an optical mouse.
Summary: 3 Stars
I had a previous version of this mousepad that I absolutely adore. I decided to purchase a new one so I can give my old one to my boyfriend. It was a bit frustrating dealing with the shiny material and how it interfered with my wireless optical mouse.
I really enjoy the feeling of the gel pad on my wrist and the smooth surface for when I move my mouse.
What I first did was dampen the pad a bit, not the gel part. Let it dry for a few minutes. Then I put some vanilla protein shake powder on it and promptly brushed the powder off. I did this as a silly experiment and it actually worked.
I no longer have issues when the wireless optical mouse going wonky whenever I play computer games or general use.
Good product, but bad idea for Belkin to make the material shiny.

This is a GREAT mouse pad!! I have one at home that I've been using for probably 7 years... I like it so much that I bought one to take to work with me and use as well! I'm probably due for a new one at home... I never really thought about it until recently, but I do find that it slides around a bit on my wooden desk after daily use. I don't think the newer one at work does at all... mine's probably just work out a bit, but it's also worn in! The gel is a lot softer than the newer pad I'm using at work... very very nice for your wrist!! Shop around a littel bit... I think I bought mine from an individual seller instead of the retail price and it was a lot cheaper! Even at $12 or 13 or whatever Amazon has it listed for, it's still totally worth the money in the long run!!Customer Review: Very Disappointed

I have carpel tunnel and I using a mouse pad with a wrist guard really helps. I noticed that at home my wrist was starting to act up again so I thought I would try a new mouse and mouse pad. I have had the mouse pad for two weeks. When I first got it I was exicted it was very soft and comfortable and felt like the memory foam on my bed. Than after a week or so the middle of the wrist guard started to bow in the middle. Now when I move my wrist it soundls like crinkiling paper being rubbed together.
I have a Fellowes Microban at my office computer and I really like it. It includes a u shape cradle for your wrist built in. All in all the Belkin is the worst mouse wrist guard i have tried (i also use the one by 3m on another computer that i use frequently).
