Reddit mentions of Beaded Add-A-Pad Computer Mouse Wrist Cushion

Hi! I also have chronic pain/am disabled. I play Steam games with an Xbox One controller with the Windows 10 wireless adapter. (I tried the Steam Controller but it was bulky, not intuitive, and I basically hated it. lol. YMMV.)

I have my tower sitting in this cabinet, which I covered with this film to keep everything hidden. My husband cut out the back of the cabinet to install a fan / make room for the cables to come out of the back.

We used these cord covers to keep everything neat.

I use this wall-mounted swing arm from Amazon for my monitor. I push it toward the wall when I am done. (I put my chair/station in the corner for this to work.)

I sit in an IKEA Poang chair with ottoman, using this lower lumbar cushion and this coccyx cushion.

I use this mouse arm on the Poang chair, these cushions for my elbows, and a beanbag rest for my wrist (for when I have to use the mouse).

My keyboard sits on a shelf beside me and I pull it onto a lap desk (stored under my chair) for when I need to use it.

I also have a wall mount for my Xbox One controller.

I hope that helps! It took me a long time to get something together that keeps my living room still looking like a living room. :)

I've had pain in my wrists, mostly from diablo-style action RPGs, but I ended up switching to much more ergonomic setups at both home and work.

I switched to an ergonomic keyboard:

An important note, a lot of keyboard have those little raising feet on the back. They are bad for your wrists. They are the result of putting feet on the front getting patented (which are good for your wrists) and keyboard companies deciding that those were cool selling points and putting the feet on the back to avoid the patent, regardless of how bad it was for the user... This microsoft keyboard avoids the patent by having a separate attachment that raises the front to create a neutral wrist position.

At work I use this mouse wrist rest because I have multiple monitors and need to move my hand to get across all of them. I also have a hard mousepad so that it slides effortlessly:

At home I use this wrist rest and high sensitivity so I barely have to move my hand to accomplish things:

It's all about avoiding twisting and bending your wrist and excessive strain on it. It made a huge difference for me, but I ended up buying like 4 different mouse wrist rests at the same time since they were all around $10 to find the ones that worked best for me.

Thanks! I found them on Amazon if anyone's wondering.

I've had the gel mat, and currently have this which helps, but is still uncomfortable after more than an hour or two. Keyboard I don't have as big of a problem with, I have a generic Logitech with a gel mat and that's good enough. It's more of the mouse than anything, but nothing I have tried helps.

I left my review a little below in another reply, here are my two favorites!

This one, Le Petit Mouse Cushion by Imak is my all-time favorite. It's the perfect size and height for my wrists when my arms are at the same height as my desk. It's has just enough support, but not too much. More importantly, two sides - one is a soft cloth that does a great job clinging to most mousepads, and the other side has very smooth bumps that let it glide everywhere which is perfect for when I'm playing games and moving my mouse everywhere.

The Handstands Add-A-Pad is my second favorite and the one I use at work. Be warned though, plenty of reviews were right - too many beads at first! I have smaller wrists and using it at first caused MORE pain since it would sit my wrist so high. After removing ~40% of the beads over the course of a couple times, I found exactly the amount of support I needed. Sewed it up and it's much better!

I use a normal mouse and keyboard, but I do use a wrist support for the mouse.

I use this thing and I love it: https://www.amazon.com/Handstands-55510-Beaded-Ergonomic-Cushion/dp/B001CWI0XY

I have very large hands and have used a few high(er) end mice over the last couple years. I would also recommend a wrist pad, either as part of the mousepad or something like this.

My favorite mouse for every day use is the SteelSeries Rival 300 (I have the original rival which appears to be the same as the 300). It is quite large and has grippy rubber on either side. You can also disable the lighting easily with the software and it won't scream "gaming mouse". I have used it at work for a the better part of 4 years now and have no complaints, the rubber under my thumb has worn quite a bit but otherwise it is just fine.

For home I have the logitech g502 which I like quite a bit but it is distinctly a gaming mouse. It is pretty big but still a lot smaller than the Rival, I have to claw grip it still. I am actually considering replacing it with another Rival.

The g502 replaced a Corsair m65 for me which I never loved, it was solid but was a bit too small and never felt quite right for me.

The m65 had replaced my old Logitech g9x which I loved but was discontinued and demands too much for a good condition one these days.

That's exactely what I got it for! I purchased mine at Best Buy here locally, but Amazon has them.

For the ErgoDox halves, it's these bead pillows on top of the Grifiti Ergodox pads. (For the trackball, see my earlier response.)

It's this guy: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CWI0XY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Worth every penny. It takes a little getting used to, but once you are, it's like resting your wrist on a cloud.

A lot of the reviews say you will need to remove beads for regular profile comfort, but I found these to be quite nice given the angle of the tent, these pair nicely: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CWI0XY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

FWIW, I use cheap pads and replace them when dirty. The cheap 3M precision pad works very very well.

It depends on your hand. I bought two different kinds

This one

And this one

https://www.amazon.de/wristee-Handauflage-Handgelenkauflage-Handballenauflage-ergonomisch/dp/B00795LVMK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1550930629&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=wristee

The first one gives more height than i need so i am not using it all.

The second one levels my wrist completely. Its ergonomic heaven for my case at least. If your hand is small i recommend the second one. It isn't gel type but it has like beans inside i think buckwheat which feels better for my wrist. Its a try and error process until you find the one with the best results

Got them from Amazon.

And this wrist rest.
