Product Information

The best keyboard wrist rests keep your wrists aligned for optimum typing form. They’re made of a range of different materials, from wood to memory foam and gel. Different heights and lengths accommodate various keyboard sizes and typing styles. Lycra covers will prevent irritation caused by friction while also blending nicely with your digital ecosystem. The best of both worlds. Ergonomic Benefits The 3M Gel Wrist Rest has a soft but supportive gel center that not only cushions the wrist but also absorbs heat for better temperature control. That gel also contours to the shape of the wrist. However, the cover is just as important to this model’s comfort as the gel. It’s described as “silky.” However, that’s more accurate to the texture than the material itself. This surprisingly soft, comfortable material easily wipes clean, which is one of this model’s big pros. Finally, it also has a textured bottom to prevent slipping. Wrist rests can be incredibly comfortable, especially when you have a model that fits your typing style and keyboard. They provide cushioning and elevation for better hand positioning. Final Thoughts

Why It Made The Cut: Soft fabric and durable memory foam make this a comfortable, affordable wrist rest. Like with other products, it comes with a mouse rest that allows both hands to stay safe. This wrist rest is also very sturdy, with a non-skid rubber base that has one of the strongest grips currently available on the market. If you want a customizable product that is just as durable as the best wrist rests on the market, you can’t go wrong with this Gimars product. Which Keyboard Wrist Rest is Best for You? Keyboard wrist rests vary in length, height, and width. Buy one that’s the same length as your keyboard. For example, if you have a full-size keyboard, you need a wrist rest that’s equal in length so that your wrists are supported across the entire length of the keyboard. The same can be said for a tenkeyless, 75 percent, or 40 percent keyboard. Height is another important measurement to keep in mind. The goal is to find a height that lifts the wrist to avoid repetitive motion injuries. For most people, a wrist rest that’s anywhere from half to one inch high will do. In many ways, this wrist rest is very similar to the aforementioned DAVICHE model on this list. We say this because it has a very ergonomic design that allows you to stay in place while using it.As the most inexpensive item on this list, this VicTsing product is perfect for those who want an effective wrist rest without committing much financially. It’s also made from eco-friendly materials so you can ensure that you are detracting from your overall ecological footprint when using this product. To use your wrist rest properly, make sure that your hands are elevated above your wrist rest whilst you are actively typing. Your hand should be able to move freely until you want to pause from typing. Then you should rest the palm or heel of your hand on the wrist support, not your wrist itself.

This doesn’t mean that your hands won’t be supported when using this device, though—because it uses cool gel memory foam, your hands will not just be able to maintain an imprint in the product, but also feel soothed into doing so. Fabric: Wrist rests are often covered in different fabrics, such as neoprene, Lycra, or leather. These fabrics add comfort, and some, like neoprene and Lycra, improve breathability. Shape is less of an issue, but some keyboard wrist rests are more ergonomic than others. Some are rectangular, while others have more rounded ends. Others have a dimpled service to enhance breathability. You can find models with a rounded top and those that are flat or angled. Consider what’s comfortable for you, your typing style, and the length of time you spend on a keyboard. Material Why It Made The Cut: This gel wrist rest’s silky cover is soft against the skin but wipes clean while the gel absorbs heat and offers contoured cushioning.

They give under pressure and mold to the shape of your wrist. Gel doesn’t break down over time as memory foam can. However, gel models are more prone to bursting or punctures than memory foam.

The ELZO also comes in a few solid colors and one pattern. Things to Consider Before Buying a Keyboard Wrist Rest Size and Shape

Wrist supports work by providing a comfortable resting place for your hands while you're not typing, taking stress off your joints throughout the day. They prevent unnecessary twisting and bending of the wrist by keeping it in a neutral posture. It also is made of durable materials that are just as lightweight as they are flexible, allowing users to adjust their hand positions depending on their current muscle strength. During periods of downtime, or when your work routines do not require keyboard or mouse use, wrist rests provide a comfortable surface to rest and this should be via the heel or palm of your hand. This helps prevent compression in your blood vessels, tendons and nerves which is one of the causes of carpal tunnel syndrome. Resting your wrist on a hard surface like a table causes pressure on your wrists, making the rest potentially harmful. Goldtouch Gel Wrist RestsFeatures At the end of the day, the best keyboard wrist rest currently on the market is the HyperX Wrist Rest. Not only is it the most comfortable product available with its effective memory foam design, but it also is made of very durable materials that make it last a long time. Though it’s a bit pricier than other options on our list, the difference in price is minimal and completely worth it when you consider that it also comes with a mouse pad that is just as effective.

Dimensions: 17 inches L x 3.4 inches W x 1 inch H (keyboard wrist rest); 6.3 inches L x 3 inches W x 1 inch H (mouse wrist pad) However, this product stands out by not being inherently curved, giving the user a larger variety of different positions to choose from. Another benefit for those who prefer customization is that the product is available in two different color schemes, allowing you to choose the setup that matches your overall computer setup best. Rubber: Rubber is often used as a non-skid bottom to prevent the wrist rest from shifting while in use. Natural rubber has better durability than its synthetic counterpart. Durability This keyboard wrist rest is made with a wonderful, high-quality type of memory foam that is not only comfortable, but healthier for your hand in the long run when compared with using gel padding. Plastic: While plastic wrist rests are inexpensive, they’re not an ideal material in most cases. Plastic can trap heat and irritate the skin. You’re better off spending a few more dollars on a wrist rest covered in a soft fabric like neoprene.

Using a mouse and keyboard all day can leave you with aching wrists or even long term health problems. That's why sitting with the correct posture and having the correct arm and wrist support is important. Why It Made The Cut: A mix of comfortable Lycra, memory foam, and gel make this one of the most comfortable and attractive options on the market. Wood: Wood wrist rests are probably the most attractive and durable models. They have a smooth polished surface that comes to a gentle peak to better fit the wrist. However, they don’t flex and mold like other materials so you don’t necessarily get a comfortable, custom fit. Price is one of the first durability indicators. In general, better-quality materials and construction cost a little bit more. Another indicator is the materials. Wood offers the best durability, but you sacrifice some comfort and breathability. Memory foam can break down over time, leaving divots in the wrist rest. Gel does well, but it’s more prone to punctures. Keep in mind that higher-priced memory from and gel perform much better than average.Memory foam: Memory foam compresses under heat and pressure, molding itself to the shape of your wrists. Many people find it one of the more comfortable materials, especially when it’s covered in a breathable fabric. Some models are made with gel memory foam, which has either a gel top layer or gel infused into the memory foam to enhance breathability and comfort. However, memory foam can trap heat and break down over time, leaving divots in the wrist rest. Nobody likes accidental spills on their desk or their PC peripherals, which is why this wrist rest is made to be entirely waterproof, preventing it from taking on any damage if introduced to liquids.
