Adding/Including Memories
I lost my dad last year (2023) and have been finding ways to include keepsakes/memories in my workstation. I've dabbled here and there with doing small woodworking projects and attempted a wrist rest from a piece of oak I picked up with him from my great uncles wood shop. I milled it to fit a 60% keyboard as I hadn't decided what keyboard I would be using it on and thought that's where most of my wrist would be in contact even typing on a full keyboard. I gave it a torched/burn appearance as I really was lost in what to do. I found an old shell casing from going hunting with my dad in my hunting pack and decided to imbed it into the end of the wrist rest so it would just have a little difference and a small story behind it as well. I have other things around my workstation from family and friends, but it just feels a little more special having worked on it and adding something small that has a memory for me to it. (Purple was my grandmothers favorite color and I have kinda now...

Software is okay but not the greatest with getting custom key command bindings to work. Heart rate and skin response sensors are a bit redundant but are used to some games (http://store.steampowered.com/app/342260/Nevermind/). I would suggest placing some thick tape over the sensor if you don't use it as it emits a bright green light that can be a bit blinding once you take your hand off the mouse, though it shuts off fairly fast.
Regarding the materials the rubberized grip is smooth and very comfortable to touch but needs some care. I have sweaty hands but have not had any issues with heavy use over a month. Obviously not eating snacks while using this or otherwise just having clean hands would be a good idea, as well as periodic cleaning with wet wipes to maintain the surface. The general utility and comfort of the mouse outweighs the several minor issues I have with this and this gets 8/10.
