Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin WaveRest Gel Mouse Pad (Black)
Customer Review: New one is too firm for me
Summary: 2 Stars
I have used Belkin gel mouse pads for many years and agree with the reviewers who commented that the latest product feels different. I have owned about 10 of these. The old ones have a white "Belkin" inside a white ellipse at the top while the new one has a silver "Belkin" with no ellipse.
The old ones were softer under the wrist, which was better for me. The new one is much firmer, which is both less comfortable for my wrist and makes my hand uncomfortable because it is higher above my mouse.
I won't be using the new one because it is just too uncomfortable, and I will be looking for a new brand of mouse pad to try.
Customer Review: UPDATE! Belkin changed these!
Summary: 1 Stars
I loved these mouse pads, have used them for years. I just bought a new one, my fourth, and found that Belkin has changed them. The quality is entirely different and cheap now. The weight is much lighter (the top corners don't even lay flat), the gel pad feels like a brick, and worst of all the surface is so reflective that my optical mouse does not track properly on it. As mouse pads go, these are pricey (but used to be worth it) and so I am very disappointed to see Belkin cut quality like this and rip off a longtime (now ex-) customer. It feels like they switched to a two-dollar mouse pad that they still want to sell at the old price.Customer Review: Smells very strong and I hated the smell
Summary: 2 Stars
Yes the title you read is correct... I ordered 2 of these for work and home and now I regret. I could not bear the smell of these pads. I am surprised at the number of positive reviews. I don't know if its my dislike towards this kind of smell. I hated the smell of these... I don't even know how to put the smell into words..
However, the quality seemed ok, the gel pad is fine and not hard like mentioned in some of the bad reviews here. It would have been usable for me if it was not this bad at odour. I sealed the pad in a bag with moth balls hoping the smell would change in few days, I will try to use it after few days.
Customer Review: Comfortable and effective
Summary: 5 Stars
This mouse pad has an indentation in the wrist pad where your hand can rest comfortably while using the mouse. The pad surface is a bit smaller than I am used to but sufficient. It is 8" at its widest part, 6" at its narrowest part and about 7" long. The gel pad is approximately 6.5" by 2.5" and it is about 3/4" thick. The mouse pad itself is fairly thin but appears to be durable. The pad bottom grips the desk surface very well and the mouse glides effortlessly on the pad surface. Overall, I am very happy with it and would highly recommend it. I am using this pad with an optical mouse and have had excellent performance.Customer Review: A good feel, but a terrible smell!!
Summary: 3 Stars
I just received my wrist pad and was really excited with the stress that it relieved in my hand. But then, I kept smelling something weird, like some type of burning auto oil. I didn't have anything on the stove, so I realized that it was the wrist pad!!! Yuk!! It was so bad that I had to put it out on the deck to air it out (It's been out there all afternoon and no change. I'll get it tomorrow to see if if still smells) I really like and need the pad, so I'll just keep it out there until the smell leaves. I'll give an update when (and if) the odor leaves. Sorry, I can only give it three stars at this time.
