Mouse Wrist Rests

A mouse wrist rest cushions the palm between mouse movements, keeping the wrist level and the pressure off the desk edge. This range covers gel, memory foam and gliding palm supports sized for mouse use, plus wide supports for RollerMouse bars.

Which wrist rest material is best?

Gel models such as the 3M MW85B Precise and 3M Gel Compact spread pressure evenly and stay cool, while foam options like the Kensington Comfort Foam feel softer and lighter. Memory foam versions, including the Kensington Adjustable Memory Foam pad, mould to the palm. Gliding supports with Microban protection from the Fellowes and 3M ranges let the palm slide as the mouse moves.

What size mouse wrist rest do I need?

Match the rest to your mouse pad or desk space: compact for tight setups, large for wide mousing surfaces, and full width palm supports for RollerMouse Red and Red Plus bars from Contour, with replacement covers also available. Goldtouch Palm Supports and Mousing Platform suit split keyboard users.

Can I use a wrist rest with a standing desk?

Yes. The 3M Gel Wrist Rest for Standing Desk is sized for standing height use, and any compact gel rest works when you drop back to seated. The Kinesis Freestyle 2 palm supports and V3 tenting accessory serve split keyboard setups rather than mouse use.
