Don't bother! I did this, but the result was harder than the standard offering. The wrist rests I bought had a hard plastic base that you couldn't remove unless you wanted to be sticky-messed to death. So I left them in... So, unless your gel pad is gel all the way through, I wouldn't waste your money.

How I did it. And yes it was and still is a lot better. I got my wrist rests from work which were to be thrown out.

Did they have a hard base? The two I bought did and as I mentioned earlier, it wasn't a success for me, as a result.
