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.

- And the DEALBREAKER for me is how long and narrow this mouse is - I have relatively large hands and I hold the mouse in a palm grip (it slightly hovers off the mouse). My pinky finger has started having cramps and pain and I've noticed it just hangs there when I play - there's no surface for me to rest on. The configuration I roll with is thumb on the left rest, index on the left click, middle finger on the right click, ring finger on the right side, and pinky finger just hovering there causing all the pain. I'm looking at this because it's t h i c c and wide but I am concerned by all the complaints about how the sensors just gradually erode from all the sweat. Would I like this mouse?
Thanks!
