MouseBean Ergonomic Hand Rest Product Details
MouseBean was invented to tackle the problem of mouse induced wrist pain by providing support for your hand and correcting the angle of your writs as you use the mouse. Its ergonomic design can help protect against RSI and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and painful disabling wrist problems.
Using MouseBean in conjunction with your mouse will help reduce median nerve compression and protect the nerve that runs through the carpal tunnel in your wrist. It does this by cushioning your wrist from pressing against a hard work surface.
Without using some form of support, you are placing stress on your wrist due to the poor posture reaching for the mouse creates. With MouseBean attached, your wrist is elevated to create a straight line along your forearm which helps reduce stress on your tendons. Overusing your hand and fingers when your wrist is bent can lead to tenosynovitis (inflammation of the covering of the tendons), a painful condition affecting the forearm.
Stress reduction is not just limited to your wrist when utilising a support. Because the heel of the hand is properly supported, the arm does not need to be elevated to move the mouse and this encourages upper arm mobility which helps protect your shoulders, neck and back. Supporting the hand in this way also reduces the need to grip the mouse too tightly. Constant tension in the forearm is a common cause of tenderness and burning sensations.
Attaching MouseBean to your mouse is done via a stick-on socket which connects the hand rest via a sliding coupling bar. This sliding feature can help with detailed work, such as when designing. You simply position your wrist on the rest and use your fingers to make small intricate movements.
Due to its highly tactile surfaces, MouseBean acts as a great stress reliever and place to rest your wrist in-between tasking. This is an important aspect in the workplace since it encourages computer users to take short, regular breaks. This allows overused muscles a little time to relax and recover, further reducing tension and stress.
MouseBean also provides insulation and protection from cold surfaces as well as the sharp edges of desks and mouse pads. It also eliminates pressure from wristwatches and bracelets, a common cause of aggravation which most wrist pads simply make worse.
The specially contoured body allows your wrist to rotate into a comfortable position and can be used on either hand. The gently rounded base allows it to slide on and off the edge of a mouse mat without snagging.
MouseBean has hygienic, non-toxic, washable, soft pads can be replaced or swapped in seconds. The tactile surface patterns are designed to increase comfort levels in hot weather when hands can get sticky.
