Is the wrist rest (palm support area) on this keyboard padded like microsoft's ergonomic 4000 keyboard is?

no its not, and its an ok keyboard, not as good as a Microsoft one but half the price. Has a nice light action.

No, it's round, slanted and hard plastic. One thing I forgot in my review is I love the buttons across the top for WWW and Email, very handy. It actually does go to my right email.

No it is not padded. I have been using this keyboard for several months and my wrists don't sit in that area, so I don't even notice the difference. I would not go back to the 4000.

It's not padded however what I did was put a thick sheep's fur (it could be an imitation) on where the palms rest anchoring them with Velcro.My invention which I used on previous ergonomic keyboards before.

Hi, The Perixx Periboard Ergonomic keyboard wrist rest is not padded, it is made of the same material as the entire keyboard...however, it is very comfortable,, and I have actually increased my typing speed with it. I would still recommend highly, even without the padded wrist rest. I hope this was helpful. Have a great day.

It is nt padded, and based on the slope, your wrist shouldn't hit that part of the keyboard at all.

Frances,I'm glad you reported this. I watched the demo video on Ergotron's website and noticed the platform on which the keyboard rests does not provide the same level of solid surface area a regular desktop does. I would consider myself someone who types with normal pressure but any movement of the keyboard would take some adjustment.

With the wrist extension on the bottom it supports the entire left hand to the bottom of the palm. The Right hand however is only supported up to half of the palm when typing. Its not a big deal for me because I can rest my right palm on my desk. It would go well without the extension and a extra even support added for it has legs at the front of the keyboard plus the two different heights on the back. Its very adjustable, I love it!

The keyboard comes with a hand rest attachment so you can choose which one you want to use. So effectively both :D

I doubt it, but the material is a little coarser and thicker than the iMak wrist rest material, so that might help. You might consider trying some double-sided tape on your keyboard if you need to hold the wrist rest in place.

No it does not. . Reason Is your wrist is to rest (relaxed) in a natural form on the keyboard.. have had mine for at least over a year .. I have big hands and am tall and it helped with fatigue .. it's a good buy.. Also u can get the gel strip for the wrist base if u need to..

No. There are two parts to this pad. One is the bottom part which is the non slip rubber pad and the other part is the actual surface that you have the mouse on. This top part is dual sided and you just flip it over depending on what surface you want. The wrist rest is part of the non slip rubber underneath part. Hope this helps.

Most keyboards also have a short base with nothing to rest the palms on. This one has a slightly extended one. The split zones are also often angled from each other which is not a comfortable position for me. Everyone has different needs. If it doesn't look like something you would be comfortable with, don't purchase it.

Nah it feels a lot like a regular PC keyboard. Only main difference is it's layout. Otherwise, it's the same.

I think so, don't remember. Only used it couple times then returned. Very nice feeling keys and touchpad, feels much better built than my Adesso keyboard unfortunately the keys on the Gearhead are in the WRONG PLACE as others noted in reviews. I found it unusable, I type a LOT with 2 hands

yes, the keyboard has not stand, that´s correct. It is not uncomfortable because the key already is already slightly beveled.A to high angle is not very good for you wrist.We also use the keyboards :)

I never have a problem with that issue. It isn't an "ergonomic" or padded wrist layout... it's just a keyboard. I wanted it for the illumination aspect and out of those currently on the market- this one came in tops for my needs without being overly pricey or made like a piece of junk that you'd toss after a few months.

No It doesn't have a wrist rest. It is a very nice keyboard tray. I'm glad I bought it.

The edge is only on the sides, wrapping very slightly around the corners, so it doesn't interfere with typing at all. I'm not familiar with the logitech keyboard. I'm very pleased with this one. I just wish it came in colors.

The tray comes with a wrist rest. Without the wrist rest the tray measures 19.5 X 10.5. With the wrist rest it measures 19.5 X 7.5. The keyboard I use is 18 X 6.5 and it works perfectly.

Typing is ok, but for using the mouse I use a mouse pad on top of the arm rest at times. Really wish the arm rest was softer, it's a problem. ..
