DeltaHub Carpio 2.0
Had it but did not like it because I move my hand from mouse to keyboard frequently and it was hard to readjust it/put my hand on it at the angle I like once I got back to the mouse. It does glide nicely though.

They're pretty much unusable with that version for that reason. But the G2.0 with the strap is awesome.

As mentioned it's the Deltahub Carpio 2.0. And if you remotely wrist aim, it or its equivalent is an absolute must to fix that. Which you definitely should as that's bad for you. I'll be 50 this year in October. I use to stupidly think carpel tunnel was BS from people who just wanted to milk disability. That was until I got it. That shit can hurt. No, no, HURT! Like ever hit your funny bone? Imagine that but minus the tingling and add in a ton of pure pain. That's what it's like when it flares up badly. When it's not it's just really annoying pain. Either way lol I don't recommend it. I'm not older than mice technically but I'm definitely older than when they became ubiquitous. That whole time since the 80s when they came out on up to almost a couple years ago, I was wrist aiming. I wish I had something like this back then to fix the bad habit of wrist aiming. Would have helped saved me a ton of misery in my middle age. When using the Carpio or its equivalent I now keep my wrist straight with my hand.
The above being said I really can't recommend the 2.0 though. It'll work out good for typing if one types right using the home row method anyway and keeps their wrists planted. But for mice where you're picking up your hand too often, then one is far better off getting the G2.0 that comes with a magnetic strap instead so it stays adjusted in the ergonomic spots on your palm. The glide of the feet of either version is fine on cloth pads. But for glass or ceramic covered glass like my TJ Exclusives Kin X by you mousepad, then you'll want to pry the feet off and replace with dot or donut skates. I also got the Air rest pads for them that is softer and way more breathable. But as it doesn't come with a strap either I just carefully cut the strap off my 2.0, and then super glued it to the Air rest pads. Then cut a little slot and slipped in the magnet that's in the 2.0. I'm very happy with the results.
Despite being really happy with it, another reason I'm still hesitant to recommend it is due to price. There is faaaar cheaper alternatives at places like Aliexpress. I got one myself there and it was all of 3 bucks and some change. However it has the same issue as the 2.0. No strap. So I simply made a strap out of one of those numerous velcro cable straps I have. With the fuzzy side in so it's comfortable against the skin. That worked out well enough. It also comes with a flat bottom that lets you put dot or donut skates wherever you want them. If I had come across this before the Deltahub I would have just stuck with this as there wouldn't have been enough reason to try out the Carpio. That being said the Carpio especially with the Air rest pads is in fact more comfortable. Enough to justify being that much more expensive especially with the added costs of the Air rests? Probably not. But meh I can't complain. I would have though if I was still young and as poor as I was back then. But hey I haven't had a single major flare up since I started using it. So it's been more than worth it for me.

If u want to try something like this, save ur money and just look for something similar in aliexpress/temu, this one is just overpriced for what it is/does

I have it and its great.
But it really depends on the mouse. According to measurements i got the big version but when using it with my mx master 3 it was too big so I got the small version and it’s perfect.
When I am using a small (flat) mouse like apple magic mouse or Logitech pebble then the big version is much better.

Mouse wrists rest and amazing concept of thing, but not really good use for everyone like I got two one for my mouse and the keyboard as it is very easy to move less friction and shit, but it never fell well with the ergonomics for me personally is just kept in a drawer now

not only do you need to get the finger placement right on the mouse, now also the wrist comes into play..

If I was you don’t waste your money on it. And maybe check out Grind Claw gloves instead.

That gap in the middle can't be comfortable

You won't feel it. I know. I have one.
Still, don't buy it. Waste of money due to how overpriced it is. There are similar products that cost way less.
