Fell apart after less than a year of use
Update to below: Against my better judgment, I bought a second one of these, thinking that perhaps the first one had been defective. The new one didn't even last a month before it split open and spewed sticky gel gunk all over my keyboard and desk. I won't make the mistake of buying another one, they are poorly made.

Why can't somebody create a gel-filled wrist rest that holds up?
I bought the Belkin wrist rest pad to replace my previous one (3M) which had fallen apart. All I do is rest my wrists on it while typing. I don't squeeze it, touch it or abuse it in any other way. Yet in less than a year, the outer covering split open along one of the seams and the inner material started coming out. By the time I realized it, I had gummy gel bits all over the place, including inside my keyboard where they were making keys stick. It took me a couple of hours of unpleasant effort to "ungunk" my keyboard.
Not recommended.
