Not wrist supports, wrist rests. I believe it is not advised to use it while typing.

Whatever they may be called they help a lot. About 8 years ago I had a lump on the back of my left hand about 1/2 inch high, my right hand was painful as well. It was so bad that I was reduced to typing in a hunt-and-peck style using only my right index finger (using totally vertical keypress). I forced myself to type in that style for a few weeks, got a wrist rest and haven't had major problems since ... of course the pain comes back a bit whenever I go into prolonged periods of typing. -- Fraser Campbell <fraser-Txk5XLRqZ6CsTnJN9+BGXg at public.gmane.org> http://www.wehave.net/ Halton Hills, Ontario, Canada Debian GNU/Linux -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
