Pokemon Fan Shares Stunning Gengar Keyboard Wrist Rest

A Pokemon fan has shared the incredible Gengar keyboard wrist rest they made. This particular Pokemon wrist rest was tufted, creating a soft, illustrated design with an excellent depiction of Gengar.

Pokemon decorations are everywhere in many fans’ homes, and fan-made ones have become very popular for adding a unique touch to decor. As the early generations who grew up with Pokemon have grown older and gained more expendable income, they haven’t left Pokemon behind. As a result, in recent years, Pokemon fans have found ways to incorporate their favorite pocket monsters into their PC setups too, either through official releases like the Gengar Razer headset, or through fan-made creations, like customized keyboard keycaps or mousepads. While good ergonomics are important, there’s no reason they have to be boring, and this unique wrist rest is a good example of that.

Pokemon unveils the next life-sized plushie to join its collection, with the series announcing the release date for a classic Gen 1 Pokemon.

In this case, an artist called mint_tufts created a Gengar wrist rest called a keyboard rug. The pad is tufted, creating a soft and plush surface just like a rug, with the colors carefully placed to reproduce a piece of art depicting Gengar lashing its tongue out while purple lightning bolts rain down around it. The result is impressive to look at all on its own, but the fact that it can be used to help keep one’s wrists in good shape while using a keyboard for long periods of time makes it practical, too.

Pokemon Fans React to Gengar Wrist Rest

Mint_tufts has explained that they received a request for this particular wrist rest for a commission, and that it was presented as a challenge. Several fans have already responded to the post on different social media sites, saying how impressed they are with the creation and calling it perfect. Mint_tufts noted that they hoped they had done the original art and the spooky Pokemon justice, and based on these comments, it seems most agree they did well.

Gengar has remained one of the most popular Ghost-type Pokemon in the franchise after all these years, and fans are constantly coming up with clever tributes to the Pokemon. A recent example includes an incredible Gengar evolutionary line lamp, which depicts Gengar, Haunter, and Gastly floating in clear resin amid purple smoke. Fans have also been inspired by Gengar to make things like dice, customized gaming consoles, and even hand-carved wooden figures. Between all of the unique creations and steady flow of fanart, it’s clear that Pokemon fans can’t get enough of Gengar, even after all these years.
