What Are Wrist-Rest Mouse Pads?
A mouse pad is a small mat that is specially designed for computer mice to help them move smoothly over a surface that might otherwise not provide enough traction. Ergonomic mouse pads come with a large cushion on the mat that you rest your wrist on while using a mouse. The purpose of the cushion is to prevent friction between your wrist and the hard surface of your office desk. By keeping your wrist elevated, you reduce the angle you have to bend it to use your mouse so you can avoid strain. Use them to increase comfort for work, school projects or gaming.
What Are the Benefits of a Mouse Pad With a Wrist Rest?
Mouse pads with wrist support are great for people who use their computers for long periods of time. Standard mouse pads don’t offer much support because they are designed to have a flat surface to allow a computer mouse to move. The elevated surface of a wrist-rest mouse pad not only alleviates pressure on your hands, wrists and arms but also on your shoulders, meaning you don’t have to hunch over. These mouse pads also help users maintain the functionality of computer mice by protecting against excess dirt, dust and other damage or debris.
