A good wrist rest accomplishes two things: it raises your wrists to a comfortable angle for typing or mouse movements, and it reduces pressure friction points on your wrists from your desk’s hard surface. The Angry Miao Hover Ergonomic Maglev Wrist Rest accomplishes both of these benefits in truly unique fashion Read More
sheltotI never wear watches when using any PC Keyboard. I keep the watch inside my right hand shirt pocket.
Hence, it becomes a pocket-watch mostly. Hardly wear a wristwatch these days, maybe due to damage and theft.
Also this lets companies float their products in front of massdrop's "community" so they can get some feedback and exposure.
I put community in quotes because the only folks left are either newbies who don't know better, or jaded geezers like me who stop by once in a while out of morbid curiosity.
Yeah but the term is typically used for electromagnetism, i understand it's not quite wrong, but maybe misleading? One of those marketing buzzwords to make it sound more appealing.
FiggyJiggyWait, “maglev” makes me think of MagLev trains, such as the one in Disney World or the hyper speed trains in Japan and around the world.

I don’t disagree about the marketing cachet, but it is functionally levitating, through the use of magnets, so it is literally a description of the product’s gimmick. Electromagnetism is only referring to the first half of the term.
From angrymiao website where it costs the same $60:
"HOVER is designed for AM AFA, the height might not be compatible with the other peripherals, please keep this in mind when placing your order."
"Note: This run is for one wrist rest."
At first, I was impressed by how affordable this Angry Miao product was ~ but than I saw the note, lol. This probably means you'd need 2x to make a complete wristrist (since most people have two wrists) which puts it at $60 for the set.
Not too bad all things considered, but it should be made more obvious.
It seems very cool, and it's probably comfy ~ but I'm weary of having such a powerful magnet on my desk. Is the magnetic field notable pass the enclosure?
TopreLoveWell, aluminum and brass are not magnetically reactive, so it probably wouldn’t stick to your keyboard or mouse. It may attract those magnetic “health” bracelets or certain watchbands though. Might repel/attract the magnet in dynamic headphones. But I don’t think it would be bad for your wrist or computer; I have a magnetic quick release on my keys and a magnet on the tail cap of my flashlight, those rarely stick to things unless I mean them to.
This certainly is a unique product.
TopreLoveSome people actually use a single hand to type, whilst the other hand rests on the mouse/input device.
Also, with some disabled people they're forced to only use a single hand here, not out of any free-choice.
The use of so-called memory foam is finite because all memory foam deteriorates over time and become flat and useless. I've hated memory foam, fine when it's fresh but awful when it gets years older and have to make another purchase.
Wasted money over a long period of time. Would've been far better using a 'gel-like substance' that holds its shape for decades.
