Do I Need a Wrist Rest for My Mouse Pad and Keyboard?
There is a developing consider among ergonomic and occupational health experts over the actual need for a wrist rest to accomplish keyboard and computer mouse work safely. One school of thought suggests that a wrist rest does help align the user’s hands and wrists while typing or mousing, while another suggests that a wrist rest may encourage users to relax their hand positions too much while typing. A wrist rest, especially a gel-filled one with a spandex cover, is certainly better than no wrist rest at all. Without any form of wrist rest, a keyboard or mouse user tends to experience hand and wrist fatigue relatively soon.
For this reason, many occupational condition experts propose only using a keyboard or mouse wrist rest between typing and mousing sessions. The user’s wrists should not touch the wrist rest during active typing. Putting too much pressure on the bottom of your wrist can cause damage similar to carpal tunnel syndrome, and it can be difficult to resist pushing your wrist down on the wrist rest while typing. Try out different types of keyboard and mouse pad wrist rests at the store before settling on one that feels both comfortable and supportive.
