Judging her first Landfall Essay Competition in 2018, Landfall editor Emma Neale was seriously challenged. The overall high quality of the 90 submissions made it impossible to choose. After a nails-bitten-to-the-quick struggle, she optimistically submitted her â€shortlist’ of 21 essays. The publisher had some strong words with her. Emma was told a shortlist needed to be shorter than 21. A lot shorter. There were no fingernails left to chew. She wasn’t flexible enough to bite her toes. The only thing left to gnaw down was the too-long list. In the end she pared the list back to 10 but it seemed so wasteful not to be awarding many more prizes. The world needed to be able to read these damned fine essays. That’s when this book was born … Strong Words is a striking collection of essays that show what Virginia Woolf once described as the art that can at once â€sting us wide awake’ and yet also â€fix us in a trance which is not sleep but rather an intensification of life’. It celebrates an extraordinary year in New Zealand writing.

Very Pleased!

Review for: Cooling Gel Wrist Rest Pad -Full Size 18"- Memory Foam Palm Rest with Non-Slip Footpad - Ergonomic Design Wrist Support - Desk Keyboard Accessory Gaming Gear (Large-Full Size). I've had this for a week and I'm impressed! There is no skimping on quality, which is rare nowadays. It is made extremely well, solid yet soft. I love the feel of the outer cover. It's comfortable and stays in place. And let me add... I'm putting it to the test. I have a rolling over-bed/couch desk. It has a raised 1/4" lip around the top. I put this wrist-rest on top of that lip. So far there's not any wear across the bottom of this wrist-rest. And that's with me using it for my wrists... and my elbows. It far surpasses the last rest I bought. From my experience, many sellers slap the phrase "memory foam" on their products when they are not. That's NOT the case here. This rest immediately bounces back to its original shape. It's true memory foam! It's so comfortable that I forget it's there yet I enjoy the comfort immensely. Also, it has no smell. ***From my experience so far... I highly recommend this product!

Comfortable and functional, but beware of cardboard/mdf insert
Size: Compact
I’ve been using this wrist rest for a bit now, and for the most part, it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It provides a comfortable amount of support for my wrists during long typing sessions, and the cooling gel aspect is definitely a nice touch that adds to the overall comfort.
That said, there are a couple of drawbacks to keep in mind. The surface seems to attract dirt and grime pretty quickly, so you’ll need to wipe it down often to keep it looking clean. More importantly, the build quality of the base is disappointing. I believe its a cardboard inserted into the bottom, which snapped very easily when I was just barely bending it while cleaning it. It’s a shame because the rest of the product is great, but I really wish they had used a more rigid, durable material for the bottom instead of whatever this cardboard/mdf is. This is why I’m giving it 4 stars.

I love it!
Size: TKL- Tenkeyless, Size: TKL- Tenkeyless
This wrist pad is the right size, approx. 14” wide. It provides support and doesn’t hurt my wrist. I needed a wrist rest that was comfortable and this one is awesome. It’s has some firmness, but it’s not hard, and has some give to it, see video. I also like the fabric, it feels good against your skin and doesn’t collect lint.
The plastic gel pads always seem too hard for me, not providing comfort. Glad to find this wrist pad on Amazon!
It fits well next to a laptop or large iPad (especially if you have the keyboard to go with the iPad). The wrist pad allows me to work in comfort. With my laptop, I use this wrist pad along with a soft mousepad, on the right side of my laptop.

Great!
Size: Compact
Super soft and very comfortable! It perfectly fits my 75% keyboard. It was almost impossible to find one at this size and I'm glad I did. There's no "overhang" at all and its flush with my keyboard. It stays put and isn't slippery at all and it's just the right height too.
