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.

It has a nice-feeling click to it, it's RBG and the software is adequate.
It feels quite... cheap. It's got a lightness and hollowness to it which makes it feel like it's built out of cheap plastic. You can have a light mouse that feels sturdy - I own two. This isn't one of them. The matte black finish is showing signs of wear after <6 hours of gaming.
The cord is a rubbery cord you'd expect on a cheap laptop mouse, not a braided cord that (I assumed) was standard.
You get what you pay for, I guess?
The mousepad that came with it, however, is great. It looks and feels well built, and it's huge. Very pleased by it. The mouse itself? First impression is mediocre - we'll see how it looks after a week or two
