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 13 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.

Your board's front edge	The rest for it
About 14 to 16 mm	13 mm. This one.
About 17 to 19 mm	In between. Send me the number and I'll tell you which.
About 20 to 22 mm	19 mm standard
Taller than 22 mm	Taller than I stock. Send me your board first.

Boards I've measured myself

Board	Front edge	What fits
Keychron Q11	20 mm	19 mm. Sits 1 mm under, right where it should. There's a pair cut for its halves.
Keychron Q11 Ultra	27 mm	Not yet. 19 mm sits 8 mm low.
Keychron HE	23 mm	19 mm sits 4 mm low. Ask me first.
Full-height Keychron (Q, V, C)	22 to 25 mm	Ask me first.
NuPhy Air 75 v3	29 mm	Not yet.

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

Each pair is two rests of the same length. Measure one half of your board side to side and pick the closer stock length. If neither is close, send me your board.

Need a split length that isn't listed?

Almost fits is still settling. Send me your board, and I'll tell you whether a stock pair fits or what I can cut instead.

Only need one rest? I'll cut a single rest to 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.

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.
