Has anyone tried trimming or cutting this pad to make it shorter? For some reason the shorter, tenkeyless sized version is more expensive...

I haven't tried cutting it but it's foam so it may cut without any problem. Keep in mind that it is not very comfortable. It's some what on the hard side, its not flush with the keyboard, it's elevated and so it's rather irritating on the wrist. I lay a towel over mine which helps with that some.

I have no idea! The pad came in a box without any paper work, instructions, or warranty. Not a satisfied customer, to say the least!!! I would advise you to not buy one. The pad is a very stiff plastic and the size is very small.

Wow, thanks for the post. For me less buttons is good. LOL. I may have to start saving for this one. Can you give another quick comment on how easy it is to use?Thanks a lot Thomas.Lamar

I ended up buying the gaming surface made by the same company but I tried it on a standard mouse pad. Works fine either way. I just bought theirs b/c it gave me a lot more real estate to work with.

I am not sure about that, I would imagine if I was the manufacturer that I would just increase the length on the strap rather than the back pad. This would have to be a question asked directly to the manufacturer, they may have that info on their website?

Yes, I went out and bought a mattress foam and cut it to the size of the pad it had. The pad itself is pretty firm.

The keys are shorter than most controllers. Synths/controller keys in general are a little smaller than piano keys (including better digital pianos), and A-500 and A800 are even smaller. That's why I sold mine. Really disliked the short keys. Disappointing, is superb controller for my DAW (Sonar), very good keyboard bed / action and quality (in my limited experience)... just... shorty keys.

If this helps, my original has the keypad on the bottom which makes it too long.

Can't be trimmed, the gel extends to the sides of the pad. I wouldn't buy this anyway, the gel moves under pressure but there's no "give," so it's kind of pointless. I gave mine away. There are much better pad, either inflatable or foam, available.

I would contact Ingles to see if you can get a replacement pad. They should be able to provide you one. Good luck!

I don't think you will be able to shorten this. It was longer than I wanted also, so I just doubled back. I think they do make these in different lengths though.

These pads can be cut as short as you want - temperature sensor is located next to the cord, so don't cut that short :) Covering the cut edge is not a bad idea. You can also cut a slot or a rectangular opening across the pad as long as the two conductors at the sides are not damaged. How do I know? I'm an electrical engineer and work a lot on my cars.

It looks like the product has changed since I bought it! The gel pad is in a new area, and I doubt it would help with anything in that area. I say look for another brand, I can't believe they changed it.

Not really. Along the bottom edge is a magnet embedded in the plastic and along the top the plastic is molded and a bit thicker. So no real way to cut it down without losing one of those features. You should buy the correct size. It would be easier and, I suspect, cheaper.

If it's too long for you, you can trim it down. It works best if it fits snugly. Thank you for shopping with DGS Novelties!

I have looked for another pad but have not found. I am currently using the pad from my old over the door board. Much better than the skinny pad that comes with this and any I have seen. Board is strong enough. Worst thing is the noise it makes when it comes down or up plus it is slight catawumpus so bottom points are not flush against the door. That said, I have owned several and looked at many and this is as good as any and better than some.
