The palmrest surprised at first by their lightness and the rustle of the filling. The filling is made from buckwheat hulls, little cherry stones, etc. and are the hand position after. Unlike gel pads no pressure points are available and the hand is also a slight angle to rotate the outside well bedded and slightly raised on. If necessary, you can pad even fold in half, and so has twice the circulation, with which you can let the hand hang time relaxing on the mouse. For me it is thus in line with the arm rest and that is for the muscles of the hand, a real boon. Since the life of the natural materials probably is a little shorter than gel pads, you have after a certain time once a new pad rebuy. However, this is perfectly acceptable in the comfort and noticeable relief for the hand. Overall, the pad is in my view a very good alternative to gel pads and has a perfect score more than deserved.
