    Whenever I play games for a long time my left hand wrist (for ASWD) rests next to the touchpad, and after a while it hurts. When I play I am usually laying in my bed with my laptop on my legs, and I usually slip against the support of my back over time and slowly my wrist digs more and more into the metal next to the touchpad. Also if I sit cross legged I usually end up supporting my laptop from falling back with my wrists unintentionally putting stress on them.

    Of course I know that I could easily solve this by not being a boob and sitting correctly and at a desk or using my machine on a sturdy surface but what fun is that :p

    I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for a product like This product on amazon but would for sure make a nice fit with the area on the NP9170.

    Appreciate the suggestions and idea everyone, and have a Merry Christmas.

    The ergonomic laptop laidback table would help a lot. The best position to get into to avoid strain - or worse - is to have the keyboard and mouse at a level where your forearms aren't raised whatsoever, but are either level or slanting downward slightly.

    I haven't tried the razer gaming pads, but razer seems to make good stuff.

    +1 on G13

    @prostar computer be careful if you'll be trying it, I was skeptical at first and now I can't play any mmo without it ( to the point that when my original n52 broke down I even refused to log on to my game until I could buy a replacement)
