Soft yet firm, so it doesn't smush.
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.
| Your board's front edge | The rest for it |
|---|---|
| About 14 to 16 mm | 13 mm low profile |
| About 17 to 19 mm | In between. Send me the number and I'll tell you which. |
| About 20 to 22 mm | 19 mm. This one. |
| 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. |
| 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
The two halves of a Q11 aren't the same width, so neither is this pair: 168 mm on the left, 177 mm on the right.
Own a Q11 Ultra, or a different split?
The Ultra's front edge is 27 mm, so this pair would sit 8 mm low. I don't stock that height yet. Send me your board and its number. Every board I hear about goes into deciding what I cut next.
What you're getting
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.

I purchased this wrist rest for the Keychron Q11 Ultra for Mac, and while the width is correct and it matches the split keyboard well, the overall product is disappointing. The main issue is that the profile is too flat: it does not raise my hands into a comfortable typing position. The supplied adhesive pads appear to be intended for placement along the longer edge closer to the keyboard, adding a slight tilt, but even when used this way the elevation is still not enough. I also find the pad solution itself very poor. Every other wrist rest I have used had proper custom-made rubber feet on the bottom, which provide grip without sticking to the desk. These adhesive pads feel like the cheapest possible option: they initially stick to the desk, then start losing adhesion and come off easily. For a custom-designed accessory, especially at this price, that feels surprisingly low-effort. The cork material also does not feel premium to me; it makes my hands feel slightly dirty (it's a porous material) and too warm during use. Considering that a generic wooden wrist rest can be bought for about half the price with much faster delivery, this product does not feel like good value. It fits the keyboard in width, but in comfort, materials, stability, and overall execution, it falls well short of what I expected.
Hello! Thank you for the thoughtful review! I am sorry to hear you are not happy with the product.
Re: pads–The pads are attached to a card with a QR code which should explain that they are rarely needed (only for the most slippery of surfaces) as cork has natural grip. Did you try the rest without the adhesive pads? Perhaps it is no-skid enough without them.
Re: height–The product page lists the height as 0.75” which is comfortable for most. What would the ideal height be for you? Perhaps I could include a riser or send you some taller rubber feet which may solve both issues?
Re:premium–I am sorry you do not feel the hand made solid cork does not feel premium. As our policy states, you can return the product for a full refund (I pay shipping) if you are not satisfied. Just reach out to us via the website contact form.
Thanks again for the feedback!

works fine nothing else to add
Awesome item!! very comfortable while still offering support.
I love the wrist rests for my keychron, and it transitions seamlessly to my vertical mouse.
