Laptop palm rest protector
A laptop palm rest protector, measured to fit
A laptop palm rest protector is a thin pad on the area beside the trackpad, where your wrists, watch and rings rest. ChronoPad comes in three pad sizes for MacBooks, Windows laptops and Chromebooks. Two measurements tell you which one fits.
Which palm rest protector fits my laptop?
Grab a ruler, measure the two areas beside your trackpad, and fill in the three numbers in millimetres. A set holds two pads of the same size, so the narrower side decides. The three ChronoPad sizes are 83 × 86 mm, 86 × 86 mm and 93 × 105 mm.
- Open your laptop and look at the two areas beside the trackpad, where your wrists rest.
- Left: measure from the left edge of the deck to the edge of the trackpad.
- Right: measure the same way on the other side. On many Windows laptops the trackpad sits off centre, so the two are not the same.
- Depth: measure from the bottom row of keys to the front edge of the deck.
- Measure in millimetres and round down rather than up.
A ChronoPad® set holds two pads of the same size, one per side, so the narrower side decides which set fits.

All three in millimetres. Measure both sides of the trackpad, they often differ.

Why there are no model pages
Laptop makers do not publish palm rest sizes
We looked for them. Take the HP EliteBook 860 G11: the official QuickSpecs give the outer dimensions of the whole machine, 358,81 x 251,30 x 9,02 mm, and say nothing about the area beside the trackpad. That holds for practically every brand.
So a page per laptop model would be built on numbers we invented, and the first thing you would notice is a pad that overlaps your keyboard. Measuring takes a minute and it is right. If nothing fits, we say so and you can leave your measurements, because that tells us which size to make next.
Fit questions
Yes. The pad is a flat self-adhesive sheet, so it sticks to any smooth aluminium, magnesium or plastic palm rest. Pick the size using the finder above.
Size down. A pad that overlaps the trackpad or hangs over the edge will lift at the corners. A slightly smaller pad still covers the area where a watch bracelet touches.
Smooth surfaces work best. On lightly textured finishes the pad adheres, but removal may take a little longer. Heavily textured or fabric surfaces are not recommended.
Yes. You have 21 days from delivery to return your ChronoPad®, without giving a reason. See Returns for details.
Not quite. A separate laptop wrist rest is a cushion in front of the laptop that raises your wrists. A palm rest protector sticks onto the laptop itself. ChronoPad is the second kind: 3 mm of microfibre and foam, so your wrists rest on a soft surface and your watch never touches the palm rest, without changing the height you type at.
