I decided that I needed a wrist rest for my keyboard at work. So, I took two planks of hardwood flooring, glued them together, cut and sanded them to size, and added two rubber feet to the bottom on the keyboard edge. Not nice like an actual crafted wrist rest, but it serves it's purpose. Next I'm going to make one for my Leopold TKL, then one for my Poker.

Great idea man, I've been doing wristrests for every keyboard I own in wood and then painted them. But this is better, since I have a lot of black oad floor lying around.

It's easier and probably will look much better.

The one you made looks good as well. :) Gotta love a solid wristrest.

I like the background image. Do those legos actually exist?

Is it me or should in fact lego not be used in plural?!

Legos in place of singular lego is an American thing.

So, now that I realize DT is the English class from Hell...

I count two kinds of LEGO figures in the picture: the hazmat figure, and the zombie figure. Should I say "This lego...", or "Those legos..." when referring to both lego figures? Or, perhaps I should have said "Those lego figures...".

Please, teach this American the English language.

I suppose it is only natural for a keyboard enthusiast site to be critical of another's understanding of a language, given that keyboards are used to express said language through a digital medium.

"LEGO Bricks" is the ONLY 100% legal answer.

Otherwise Legos is fine. BTW I have that Lego! I plan on putting it in my Ripster Cleaning Guide!
