Let me tell you something about my boyfriend Gary. Heās been divorced for three years, still calls his ex-wife āThe Warden,ā and the only RGB lighting in his life is the blinking red light on his modem when the internet goes downāwhich is constantly because he refuses to spend more than $13.90 on anything that isnāt a case of Miller High Life. So when I surprised him with the Wrist Rest & RGB Mousepad Series from Amazon (ASIN B01M11FLUJ, a steal at $13.90), I thought I was being cute. Thoughtful. Spicing up his sad, beige home office. What I didnāt account for was his particular... enthusiasm.
He opened the box, stared at the glowing pink-and-blue snake of a mousepad for a full thirty seconds, and then looked at me with a gaze Iāve only seen reserved for the last slice of pepperoni pizza. āThis,ā he said, āhas possibilities.ā
Now, Iām a modern woman. Iāve seen things on the internet. I know thereās a whole genre of people asking questions like ācan you use Hamilton Beach wrist rest rectally?ā And yes, Iām aware that typing āis Hamilton Beach wrist rest safeā into a search bar at 11 PM usually means youāre about to have a very weird Tuesday. But I never thought Gary would be one of those people. I thought the RGB was just for his sad Minecraft streams.
I was wrong.
He didnāt even try it as a wrist rest first. He just went straight for the business end. Let me tell you, there is no official ārectal use Hamilton Beach wrist restā tutorial on YouTubeāI checked. And when he asked me to help him with the wrist strap, I knew we had crossed a line. āTrying this was a mistake Hamilton Beach wrist restā is a sentence I never thought Iād mutter while holding a damp microfiber cloth.
The foam is surprisingly firm. Too firm. Unforgivingly firm. Like the handshake of a man whoās never heard the word āno.ā The RGB lighting isnāt just decorativeāitās accusatory. When Gary finally managed to... seat it, the mousepad lit up his entire lower back like a carnival ride from hell. The fabric is also terrible for cleanup. You canāt just run it under the sink. It holds onto things. Memories. Regret.
Iād say for the price, you could do worse. But you could also do literally anything else. Go buy a spatula. Take up pottery. Do not, under any circumstances, read a Hamilton Beach wrist rest honest review before trying to make your own sad, RGB-lit mistakes.
Buy or skip Hamilton Beach wrist rest? Skip. Unless you want your boyfriend to look like a glowstick thatās been through a trauma.
