Lengths: 311 mm (12.25") for 75% boards, 362 mm (14.25") for TKL, 438 mm (17.25") for full-size, and 159 mm (6.25") or 127 mm (5") for a mouse or one half of a split.

Soft yet firm, so it doesn't smush.

Foam gives, then keeps giving, then stops coming back. Gel moves under you. Wood and resin don't move at all, which sounds supportive until hour six. Cork sits between them and stays there.

A buyer put it better than any spec sheet: "Softer than wood or epoxy, harder than gels and silicone. Great middleground."

Another one: "My other wrist rests are wood and then one that's K9, and after using them for a long time you do feel the stiffness start to bother your wrist. The cork is firm but somehow softer than the wood, I can use it longer without the fatigue."

It's the Birkenstock for your wrist: a little unglamorous at first, then very hard to give up.

Is 19 mm right for your board?

Look at your board from the side. The number that matters is the height of the front edge, the lip nearest you, measured from the desk up. A ruler stood on the desk gets you close enough. A rest should sit 1 to 2 mm under that number, so your hands run onto the keys instead of climbing up to them.

I don't stock a taller height yet. Tell me your board and its number, and it goes straight into deciding what I cut next.

Length

The longer stock lengths usually fit 75%, TKL (80%) and full-size boards. The 159 mm and 127 mm lengths work as a mouse rest, or one under each half of a split. Match your board's width, or go a little wider if you like support past the edges.

None of these lengths fit your board?

Almost fits is still settling. Tell me your keyboard and the length you want in millimetres, and I'll cut a rest to that number on my bench in Utah. Same cork, same 13 mm or 19 mm heights, your length.

What you're getting

A height matched to your board. Two stock heights: 13 mm for low-profile boards, 19 mm for standard ones. Pick the one that sits 1 to 2 mm under your board's front edge.

Solid cork the whole way through. Not foam with a cork wrapper. Cut one in half and it's cork in the middle, which is why it doesn't sink into a permanent dent shaped like your wrist.

Non-skid feet included. Bare cork slides on a bare desk. The feet fix that.

Made by me, in Utah. One person, one bench. Solid Portuguese cork, from bark that regrows on the same tree, agglomerated in the USA. Made to order and shipped within 5 business days.

The Love Your Desk Guarantee. If you don't love it, return it within 30 days and I pay for the return shipping.

Close up making of custom cork wrist rest in the shop

I milled the first one for myself.

Twenty years at a computer against film deadlines. 100-hour weeks. Six years on a single film, going over every pixel.

I bought wrist rests. The foam ones flattened. I threw one away the day the lights came up in a dark office and I finally saw how flat it had gotten.

I also build furniture. I know what a block of wood feels like under your wrist, and it isn't comfort.

So I milled a piece of cork for my own desk, then kept simplifying it until I stopped noticing it was there. That's the whole product.

I own a Keychron Q11 and a V3, and they need different rests. Tell me yours.

Crispy Corner Review

Not gonna lie, I get sent a lot of desk stuff for Crispy’s Corner and most of it is fine but forgettable. This wrist rest is not that. The cork texture just feels right under my wrists after hours of editing, and it actually matches the wood tones on my setup instead of looking like some random accessory thrown in. Custom sizing meant it fit my keyboard exactly, no weird gaps hanging off the side. The mouse pad holds up the same way: same cork finish, smooth glide, ties the whole desk together. Genuinely impressed with the quality on both.

Shipped fast, item arrived well packaged, was the exact dimensions I requested, and works great! Really elevated my setup as soon as I put it on my desk. Would definitely buy again in the future!

I had ordered a set of low profile wrist rests previously but wanted to get some standard height ones for my other keyboards. I think ordering pairs of the short ones offers way more flexibility so I did that and they work great! In my first review I said the wrist rests could slip around on smooth surfaces, and I am an idiot the seller actually provides adhesive feet to keep them from slipping. I couldn't edit my previous review to correct myself, but they come unadhered which I love because then it's left up to you if you want them or not.

The firm yet cushioned feel of the cork provides excellent support for my wrists

The firm yet cushioned feel of the cork provides excellent support for my wrists, making long hours of work noticeably more comfortable and smooth. It strikes a great balance, not too soft and not too hard, which helps reduce strain during typing. It also looks clean and natural on the desk. I really hope more people get a chance to use and enjoy this wrist rest.

Questions

Which height do I need?

Measure your board's front edge, the lip closest to you, from the desk up. Pick the rest 1 to 2 mm under it: 13 mm for boards around 14 to 16 mm, 19 mm for boards around 20 to 22 mm. In between, or taller? Send me your board and I'll tell you.

What if none of the lengths fit?

For a single rest, I'll cut one to your exact length. For a split pair in a length that isn't listed, send me your board.

Will it flatten like foam?

It's solid cork the whole way through, not foam with a cork cover, so there's no soft core to flatten. Soft yet firm is the phrase buyers keep using.

Will it slide around?

Not with the feet on. Bare cork on a bare desk does slide, which is why non-skid feet come with every rest.

How long does it take?

Every rest is made to order and ships within 5 business days.

My board is taller than 22 mm. Can you help?

Send me your board and its front-edge number. I don't stock a taller height yet, and every board I hear about goes into deciding what I cut next.

What's the finish?

A plant-based oil and wax. No mineral oil, no VOCs, no plastic skin to peel. The finish contains highly refined almond oil.

What if I just don't like it?

Return it within 30 days and I pay for the return shipping. That's the Love Your Desk Guarantee.
