Small support, long career.
The problem it solves
Wrists resting on a hard desk edge for years is how typing injuries start. The pain comes late and leaves slowly.
What it is
A padded bar that sits in front of the keyboard and a small pad for the mouse, memory foam or gel, with a non-slip base.
Who it is for
Anyone who types more than two hours a day and has ever felt tingling or ache in the wrist or forearm.
How to use it so it sticks
Rest the heel of the hand, not the wrist, on the pad between bursts of typing. Lift to type. Take a one-minute hand stretch every hour.
Who should skip it
If you already float your wrists when typing, as pianists are taught, you may not need it.
Verdict
Cheap prevention. Pair it with a proper keyboard height and the problem rarely arrives.
