Wrist rest for keyboard
When you spend long hours in front of a keyboard, it's essential to think about your comfort. A well-chosen wrist rest isn’t just a simple accessory: it’s an essential support to relieve your wrists, improve your posture, and prevent work-related pain.
Why use a wrist rest?
Reduces fatigue
Typing on a keyboard for several hours in a row can create a feeling of tension in the forearms, arms, or wrists. Thanks to an ergonomic wrist rest, this pressure is more evenly distributed.
Result: less fatigue, even at the end of the day.
Improves posture
A well-positioned keyboard wrist rest helps keep your wrists straight, which limits unnecessary movement and reduces the risk of pain. This simple accessory can transform your desk into a more ergonomic space tailored to your body.
Prevents injuries
Regular use of a wrist support helps prevent musculoskeletal disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome. This type of injury often occurs due to prolonged poor posture at the keyboard or mouse. The support provided by a good wrist rest helps reduce these risks.
How can I prevent wrist pain when working at the keyboard?
The first thing to do is choose a wrist rest suited to the size of your keyboard. Go for a model with a soft surface, made of gel or memory foam, which naturally molds to your wrist. Many brands offer well-designed products, often in faux leather or fabric, for a comfortable and durable use.
Then, make sure your forearms are parallel to the floor and your wrists aligned with your arms. An ergonomic wrist rest, slightly curved in shape, facilitates proper alignment.
What is the best wrist position for typing?
The ideal position is neutral: your wrist should remain straight—not too high, not too bent. Your keyboard shouldn't be too high compared to your seat. A wrist rest with a non-slip base helps maintain this position effortlessly. Some models are even compatible with ergonomic mice for full support.
Can you use a wrist rest with all types of keyboards?
Yes, there are universal models, like our Subsonic ones. Designed to fit standard keyboards as well as compact or full-size versions. Whether you use a desktop keyboard, gaming keyboard, or a laptop, there is definitely a wrist rest that fits.
You’ll find options in various colors: black, grey, blue, even white for minimalist setups. Some models are even customized with themes from your favorite movies, series, games, or music groups.
