Wrist rest is black and sits in front of the keyboard. we like the black color that pairs with the black keyboard. It's gelly - like it says on the box.
The wrist rest is very uncomfortable. It is a solid piece of foam and while it supports my wrists I find that I have some wrist pain. I was hoping for something with a gel or memory foam filling. It was the only one in the store and it was difficult to determine how firm it was. Ordering one with memory foam instead.
