Does your wrist hurt or get fatigued often after using a mouse for a long time?
Apart from evaluating the type of mouse you are using, another thing to look into are ergonomic mouse pads and wrist rests.
Ergonomic mouse pads and keyboard wrist rests work by helping you maintain a neutral position as you type, click and scroll. Without the padded support, sustaining a neutral wrist posture on your own can be difficult, especially after a few hours. The padded support also reduces nerve compression in your wrist and hands when used properly, which can happen if you rest your wrists on a hard surface for long periods of time.
Our Gel Keyboard Wrist Rest offers a versatile ergonomic solution for keyboard users. The gel pad comfortably supports your wrists during typing, while also putting your wrist in a more neutral position.

When you are looking to buy a mouse pad or wrist pad, there are several things you need to consider. Firstly, looking at the pad material where the cushion of ergonomic mouse pads is either filled with gel or memory foam:
Gel – This material feels cool to the skin. It can be sticky unless there’s a fabric cover. People who crave squishy, soft cushions will love gel filled wrist supports.
Memory Foam – This is one of the best materials when it comes to providing support. Your body heat softens the foam so that it conforms exactly to the shape of your wrist. However, it feels warm which some people might not like.
Secondly, looking at the wrist support height is essential. The key to preventing wrist injury when using the computer is to maintain a neutral position where there is minimal bending of the wrists. If your wrist is too low, your arm weight will strain your wrist, increasing your chance of developing carpal tunnel syndrome. On the other hand, if the wrist rest is too high, it causes fatigue to your fingers, hands, and wrist.
To ensure proper alignment, get a wrist rest that is approximately 1″ – 1.2″ inches deep. Anything higher, and it’s hard to maintain a neutral wrist when it is rested on the pad, which completely defeats the purpose. It shouldn’t be too hard or too soft either.
Lastly, looking at the size of the mouse pad or wrist rest and ensuring that it fits on your desk and work area comfortably, featuring a non-lip back to avoid it sliding around.
No better time than now to start looking after your body the right way with products that are practical, affordable and used on a daily basis!
