    Chaz,

    I heard that the beanbags ones are better. They provide more movement and support. They also don't wear out as fast. Here is a link to what they look like, but I wouldn't recommend that style for you. :D

    I guess mouse wrist pad is also in this category? I just wanted to say that I use a similar product for a mouse only and it really helped. I can even feel my pinky now! :) It is filled with some kind of a gel I guess. Feels and looks like a silicone boob! ;) (can I use this word? do you mind? did I break any rule about nice words?) :)
    I also plan to find one of those keyboard pads.

    Cheers,

    I prefer the beanbag ones because:

    If it breaks open it is just little "beans," the gel ones would get my cats sick, and get everything sticky. They also break open after alot of use.

    I'm going to go with the bean bag one, I'll post my thoughts after I get it sometime tonight.

    Thanks again,
    Chaz

    Well I finally went to Best Buy. Got the Wrist pad - the bead one.

    Working great so far, very comfortable. :)

    Yeah, I love them, I could never go back to the gel ones.
