As a web developer, you likely spend a significant amount of time typing and using a mouse. This constant use of your hands and wrists can lead to discomfort and even serious health risks such as carpal tunnel syndrome. One way to help reduce these risks is by using wrist rests for your keyboard and mouse.
Wrist rests, also known as wrist pads or wrist supports, have been used for decades to help reduce the strain on the wrists and hands while typing or using a computer. They were first introduced in the 1980s and have since become a common accessory for computer users. Some popular brands of wrist rests include 3M, GelPro, and Goldtouch.
Wrist rests are designed to provide support and cushioning for your wrists while typing and using a mouse. They help to maintain proper hand and wrist posture, which can reduce the risk of strain and injury. They can also help to alleviate discomfort and fatigue, allowing you to work more comfortably and efficiently.
In the next blog post, we’ll be comparing the different types of wrist rests available on the market. Stay tuned!
