ChronoPad® for 16″ is cut for the MacBook Pro 16″ deck and measures 93 × 105 mm per pad, the largest ChronoPad by some margin: 7 mm wider and 19 mm deeper than the 14″, because the Pro 16 palm rest is genuinely deeper. That extra depth is also where heavier watches sit, which is why this is the size that covers the most contact area.
Dimensions
Every ChronoPad set contains two pads, one for each side of the trackpad, and both pads in a set share the same dimensions. The measurements below are the outer dimensions of a single pad.
| ChronoPad | Cut for | Width | Depth |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13″ | MacBook Air 13″ | 83 mm | 86 mm |
| 14″ | MacBook Pro 14″ | 86 mm | 86 mm |
| 16″ | MacBook Pro 16″ | 93 mm | 105 mm |
A ChronoPad is not a plain rectangle. The last 5 mm along the front edge is narrower so it stays clear of the trackpad: 72 mm on the 13″, 75 mm on the 14″ and 82 mm on the 16″. Applied correctly, the pad leaves 3 mm to the keyboard and 5 mm to the trackpad.
What ChronoPad® solves
If you wear a watch daily, you have probably felt it: the bracelet dragging on the palm rest, the little squeak on certain desks, the marks you only notice when the light hits at an angle. Taking your watch off is not always practical, especially in public, during travel, or between meetings. ChronoPad® lets you keep the watch on and keep working normally, while reducing friction and helping prevent those day to day scuffs.
Materials and construction
A polyester microfibre top layer over a closed-cell polyurethane foam core, backed with a 0.15 mm removable acrylic adhesive of the 3M 9448A class. That combination is what makes the pad soft under the wrist and what lets it come off again without leaving residue.
Will it fit my laptop?
On a MacBook Pro 16″ it fits as designed. If you are measuring a different laptop, be careful with the screen size alone: a 16″ Windows laptop usually has a noticeably shallower palm rest than a MacBook Pro 16, so 105 mm of depth is often more than it has. Compare your measured area with the table above and pick the size that actually fits, not the one that matches your screen. Use the 30 day return window if you are unsure.
