I'm thinking of buying a wrist rest for my mouse pad as I have red marks on this part of my palm (where the bone is) and it may also resolve the pain I have in my wrist whenever I game for long periods of time.

What are your opinions on it? Are there better solutions? Will an arm rest support be better? like this for example

 

Cheers,

Sean.

Get a desk mat/pad

 

They go under  your keyboard and mouse, and sometimes monitor

They make it easier to clean, but tis also softer and provides padding to prevent strains

i already do have a mouse pad. makes no difference whatsoever in my opinion.

They are often thicker, providing more cushioning, and also go under your keyboard and sometimes monitor stand

i might think about picking one up tomorrow to test. cheers.

 

also, i edited my original post regarding an arm rest support instead. what are your opinions on this?
