>> I agree that the Buffet adjustable thumbrests are a terrible design. The screw keeps working loose because basically there isn't enough length of thread. <<

Not only that, but because of the short thread engagement, they tend to strip and can't be tightened at all. Some of them are made from a material that exaggerates the chance of this happening (I think for some models they are made from a different material but not sure). Of course you can find many that never had this happen... but after seeing many, statistically speaking, it is far more common than it should be.

>> the metal plate on the bottom is the wrong shape and needs padding to avoid pain. <<

I need that no matter what thumb rest. Pretty much any thumb rest is comfortable for me as long as it's padded. Regardless of the shape, if padding helps, I see no reason to not pad it. I prefer the rubber cushions but there are many ways to pad it.
