Hi!

Just wanted to sahre some pictures of my DIY wrist-rest and my new novelty keycap.
Despite being a little tall, it feels very comfortable when typing. I might do another one to use at work.

Since my grandfather had some wood parts lying around, I also made this nice stand for my headphones aka the duck stand! :duck: The "head" is actually a leg from an old piece of furniture.

Nice pictures! I really don't like using wrist rests as I have the keyboard pretty far away from the edge and I rest my arms/elbows on the table but that headphone stand looks nice!
The last pic is cute too :D

Pretty smart way to do a wrist rest, actually. I've been thinking of something like that, but in reverse, as an iPad stand / document holder.

And yes, the pictures are great. That last one is tempting to use as a DT banner, but you'd probably need to recompose the scene in more of a straight line to fit within the box.

I saw a picture online and decided to try it. Works great!

Thanks! During the weekend I'll probably do another version for the banner.

Very nice ideas and implementations! And the headphones are not crap ;) (I've got the little brother DT 770 PRO 80 OHM)

Great job and inspirational!
