How soft is it? I'm trying to find something so my hands and elbows don't hurt when wresting on my desk while I use my keyboard and stationary mouse.

My mouse pad sits on top of a glass top which used to leave my wrists red and painful after half an hour of typing or using the mouse. Now I can use the computer for four hours without a problem. It is no softer than any other mouse pad, but for some reason, the coverage makes a huge difference. Maybe it's because there's less picking the mouse up and moving it back to the center, like with a normal mouse pad?

I've never had a problem with it being abrasive. Smooth as any other mouse pad I've used. I like to rest forearm on the table when I'm using a mouse and I've never even noticed that as a problem. Unfortunately no other way to describe it, my mouse tracks very well on it so I'm guessing it's tightly and smoothly woven.

It's soft, but not very thick. The padding from the neoprene backing is maybe 1/8th to 1/4th inch thick.

I don't think it is particularly stiff. It is smaller than a regular mouse, so I expect it would depend on how you rest your hand on it and how much you use it.

It weighs 3.56 ounces , about 102 grams , it responds fairly well and has survived falling off of the desk twice. a fairly good mouse ,Although I usualy use joy pad's for games. Good luck , I am rather pleased with mine.Sincerely Danny Graham

At times I put a little weight on it while resting my hands between typing. The description of the drawer said not to use extra weight, so I haven't, but it will take a fair amount. I wouldn't try resting my elbows on it while leaning forward. It may take it, but I would rather be safe than sorry. It works very well as long as I don't use excess weight.

Yep. I just prop my arms up with pillows so that i can type relaxed. But if u are referring to an 'attached' keyboard then that would be connected by bluetooth so you would have to just prop the keyboard up with pillows till comfy with yr arms rested. Hope I have interpreted the question correctly.

It is pretty stiff. It takes both my hands to bend it. I attached mine to my computer chair in the house to hold my keyboard. I love it.

I am a average sized female as well and I love it. I have tendonitis in my wrist and elbow and also a shoulder injury and its much easier to work with than a regular mouse.

I describe it as medium, but I'd say on the softer side. It's not like flat keyboards as often found in laptops, but certainly as easy to press, and the keys aren't nearly as high or hard to press as most "clack clack clack" keyboards. This beast is cheap, though. You can't go wrong, and just return it if it doesn't suit, I say! I've had several of these and loved them all.

I agree with the previous answer. It's pretty light (much lighter than my Logitech gaming mouse), but it doesn't feel like it's cheaply made. I use it as my mouse on my work PC, so I'm using it 8-11 hours a day and it handles that just fine.

It wiggles when i snap my laptop down onto the docking station. I only move it by grabbing low on the main bars in fron (to vacuum, it's on carpet). It's not terribly sturdy. Let's say this... i wouldn't buy it for a child but i know i won't be leaning on it, etc. The keyboard tray is prettu sturdy.

Frances,I'm glad you reported this. I watched the demo video on Ergotron's website and noticed the platform on which the keyboard rests does not provide the same level of solid surface area a regular desktop does. I would consider myself someone who types with normal pressure but any movement of the keyboard would take some adjustment.

It's not really cushiony but it's a lot softer then the desk. I am very pleased with mine.

I use a steelseries (the big mouse pad) and it works really good.Try to find a mouse pad that is kinda soft cause the mouse feet (bottom of the mouse) can wear down quickly depending if you're hardcore gamer I say a good year our 2.

It feels soft. I'm not sure what it is but it gets dirty way! too easy, buy something else trust me. It gets dirty easily, uncomfortable, mouse gets stuck on it, and I own a Razer naga.

it Works Fine But It Feels Rough. I Don't Like The Roughness On My Fingers. And With Windows 8, Using A Touchpad Instead Of Mouse Is Problematic. Like Everything Else On Windows 8.

It's slightly textured, my wired mouse works ok on it...You might want to add more filler to it mine falls off my lap at a flinch , so I added packing material to it ...
