L’aspect clé ici – et sur lequel beaucoup de gens se trompent – is that a wrist guard should not be fully used when typing or using your mouse In this space, most experts advise you to raise your wrists to accommodate your typing or mouse action, however, between word entry or selection click, your natural response will probably be to drop your wrists. This is where a wrist guard can help, because the ideal here is to have the arms and wrists in a neutral position

Its very important, because just having a wrist rest but using it to support your hands while you type is a recipe for more serious blood pressure issues than not having any at all You need to consider products like this as part of an overall ergonomic solution that includes your sitting or standing posture, the number of breaks you take when using your computer and of course the nature of the keyboard and mouse you are using.
