I kept using relatively cheap locally available mouse pads, but never thought I just needed more wrist support. Been using this for almost a year now, and lo and behold — the pain is all gone, I forgot I ever had it. Glad I found this, thank you Gimars!" —Megalodon

Promising review: "This brand of mouse pads has always been good and this one is no exception. The mouse pad is of the expected quality from Fellowes and arrived as described. The gel wrist rest is prefect and the color is great. The mouse pad works great with my mouse and I have not had any tracking issues at all so far." —A. James

5. A floral mouse pad available in over 30 different breathtakingly gorgeous designs I simply can't stop toggling through. But don't be fooled by its beauty — reviewers say it's remarkably non-slip and offers an incredible amount of wrist support.
Promising review: "This thing is great. Firstly, the squisherino is amazing. I love playing with the gel insert. It is also very comfortable on your wrist. The back of the pad is non-slide and IT WORKS. I use the mouse pad to drag myself back to my desk in my office chair. It is the strongest thing in my office. When you move the mousepad you have to peel it up. Very satisfying. Love this. If I had more wrists I’d buy more of these. I’d also buy an ergonomic elbow pad version of this. Please make one!!!" —k. lawless
Get it from Amazon for $9.96+ (available in 31 designs).

Promising review: "I love cute desk and gaming accessories. I needed a mouse pad with wrist support and this ticked all the boxes. I love pink and purple and I love kitties! I work and game at my desk for 12+ hours a day. The cushion allows a good portion of my arm to rest comfortably so I don't get wrist fatigue. I'd definitely buy this again." —Amazon Customer

8. A tie-dye mouse pad your aching joints will thank you for, since, if you think about it, they're doing the heavy lifting all day while you just sit on your butt eating chips.
Promising review: "This mouse pad does exactly what it is supposed to do. The part where you rest your wrist is full of gel and comfortable. I instantly adapted to using this new pad even though I have never had a wrist rest in the past. After using this pad for close to a month, I am already noticing less pain in my wrist. The part of the pad for the mouse is big enough that my mouse never even comes close to running over the edge. What I didn't see in the description (or maybe I just missed it) is that there is a sticky film on the bottom of the pad that holds it in place — it's a nice extra! You can pick up the pad and move it and the pad still holds in place. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase." —Ryan Jancik
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in seven designs).

Promising review: "I got this since I was getting pains in my wrist. Works well, pain has disappeared, and the colors of this mouse pad make me smile. I just love the colors." —GB
"Waited to review this item to see how it holds up: as a designer, a good ergonomic mouse pad is essential. I’ve had this over six months, and it has held up wonderfully! Came exactly as pictured, and the foam pad hasn’t worn down a bit even after daily use for 6+ months (see picture). Extremely comfortable, and good quality for the price!! Highly recommend!" —Kendal

12. A mini mouse pad for when you have limited space on your desk setup but still want to be proactive in protecting your wrist for all the years to come.
Promising review: "Love the color and size. I use an under-the-desk pull out keyboard tray and need to fit the keyboard and mouse pad on that tray. Some other pads were too big but this one is narrow enough that I have an extra inch or so to move things on the tray. But it is big enough that I have plenty of room to move the mouse." —Oscar Moncayo
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in four colors).

Get it from All 4 Party Time on Etsy for $27.95 (available in eight designs).
14. A mouse pad and wrist rest combo you won't know how you lived without before, since taking care of your physical joint health is just as important as hunting for those sweet deals online.
Promising review: "I am an avid computer gamer and I purchased the marble set three months ago. With daily usage of up to eight hours a day, they are still in great shape. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a good looking pad set. They have many designs to choose from for any colored theme setup. The semi-adhesive on the bottom of the mouse pad has stayed intact and has made it anti-slip, which is always a problem I have encountered with other mouse pads. The same compliments go to the rubber backing on the wrist pad, it works great! I do have some slight discoloration and minor divots where my hands normally rest, which is to be expected from heavy usage. Even after playing games for two to eight hours a day with friends, my wrists have never experience any pain with this set. Great product!" —Taylor Weis
Get it from Amazon for $16.98+ (available in 27 designs).
15. A keyboard wrist rest and mouse pad with wrist support so your workspace can project the pleasing vibes you need to get you through the day.
Promising review: "I love this! Both the mouse pad and the wrist rest for the keyboard are comfy and I loooove the design. It goes perfectly with my desk accessories and matches my mouse as well. It seems to be good quality and easy to clean. The bottom of the mouse pad has this non-slip type backing and it’s much better than my old one. Definitely recommend especially for the price! It would be nice if there were a desk mat to match!" —K
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in six designs).
