Wonjun Jo designs the new Curble Mouse Pad which is defined by its wrist support, which is not an uncommon feature. The differentiating factor is that the support has more longevity -- traditional support is usually made from foam or gel, which can burst or deform over time.
The Curble is made with a foam-like material that has a hollow interior. It is also divided into stripes which are more durable and retain its structure regardless of the pressure that is exerted onto it. The result is a distinct design that is hygienic and durable -- it is also detachable for easy washing and allows the mouse pad to be used with or without the support.
