The MouseBean® Ergonomic Hand Rest - Converts a Regular
Mouse into an Ergonomic Mouse in seconds!
The MouseBean® Hand Rest is designed to provide comfort and
support when using a mouse. Following detailed
research into the causes of mouse-induced wrist pain, the
MouseBean® Hand Rest tackles the problem by applying sound
ergonomic principles, stylish product design and engineering.

|
CORRECTION of WRIST ANGLE
The MouseBean® Hand Rest elevates the forearm to maintain a
straight wrist. This reduces stress on the tendons where they run
through the carpal tunnel. Overuse of the hand and fingers when
the wrist is bent can lead to tenosynovitis (inflammation of the
covering of the tendons), a painful condition affecting the
forearm. Resting the forearm on the desktop can become
increasingly uncomfortable.
|
|
SPECIALLY CONTOURED BODY
The MouseBean® Hand Rest allows the wrist to rotate into a
comfortable position and can be used on either hand. The gently
rounded base allows it to slide on and off the edge of a mousemat
without snagging.
|
|
STRESS REDUCTION
The MouseBean® Hand Rest reduces tension and stress in the
hand, arm, shoulder, neck and back. Because the heel of the hand is
properly supported, the arm does not need to be elevated to move
the mouse and this encourages upper arm mobility. Supporting the hand
in this way also seems to reduce the need to grip the mouse too tightly.
Constant tension in the forearm is a common cause of tenderness and burning sensations.
|
|
Psychological stress induced by pain due to bad posture and
other factors, is an important issue in the workplace and the
MouseBean® Hand Rest can help to break the pain/stress
cycle.
|
SLIDING COUPLING - FINGERTIP CONTROL
The MouseBean® Hand Rest has a sliding coupling bar that connects
to a simple stick-on socket on the rear of the mouse. Although some users
never seem to discover it, this sliding feature allows the mouse to be
moved with the fingers for fine detail work in art and design packages.
This dramatically helps to relax the muscles of the hand and forearm
and further reduces stress in the upper arm.
|
|
TACTILE STRESS RELIEF
Due mainly to its highly tactile surfaces, many of our customers
just love to use the MouseBean® Hand Rest as a stress
reliever. This is an important aspect in the workplace since it
encourages computer users to take short, regular breaks. This
allows overused muscles a little time to relax and recover -
further reducing tension and stress.
|
|
INSULATION and PROTECTION
The MouseBean® Hand Rest keeps the wrist away from cold
surfaces as well as the sharp edges of desks and mouse pads. It
also eliminates pressure from wrist watches and bracelets, a
common cause of aggravation which most wrist pads simply make
worse.
|
|
OTHER BENEFITS
Hygienic, non-toxic, removable, washable, soft pads can be
replaced or swapped in seconds. The tactile surface patterns are designed
to increase comfort levels in hot weather when hands can
get sticky. The pads are very tough and should last for years in normal use.

|
CORPORATE/PROMOTIONAL GIFT
With its smooth, slippery bottom and curvaceous body, the
MouseBean® Hand Rest makes an attractive and highly tactile
corporate gift. Many people want one even when they don't know
what it is! It can be made in virtually any colour and printed
with a logo or other design.

Many of the features of the MouseBean® Hand
Rest are designed to assist in certain aspects of bad posture and
incorrect mouse use, however, the mouse should always be used in
accordance with current health and safety advice and regulations.
Good posture and rest breaks are important to minimise injury in
the workplace. Nothing in this document should be taken as a
specific medical claim.

National Press |
Daily Telegraph
"Overuse of the fingers with a bent wrist can lead to
inflammation of the protective tendon sheath and the risk of
repetitive strain injury. Another potential risk is carpal tunnel
syndrome, which triggers painful tingling in three of four
fingers – usually at night. This nifty gadget worked
first time for me and I became an instant fan; it moves
easily about the mousemat and I am glad my niggling pain did not
have time to get worse." |
Testimonials |
Mr Gibson of Peterborough says:
"I decided to order one for each of my family. We all use PCs
for long periods and I am suffering from RSI/Carpal Tunnel
Syndrome which is beginning to affect how long I can use a PC.
So, I am very pleased to say that your product has given me a
new lease of life with little or no sign of the pain I was
experiencing, even after long periods of use. Hopefully it will
prevent my children having any problems at all. So thanks;
brilliant product; well done!" |
Tips for Safer Working |
Take regular breaks. Short breaks, even
for a few seconds, can help to reduce the risk of some types of
cumulative trauma. If you work under pressure and find it hard to
remember to take a break, then download and install a simple Rest
Break Timer (see our links page). You'll
soon grow to enjoy a quick stretch every so often and the minor
interruption is a very small price to pay for feeling more
relaxed. |
Sit Properly. Get yourself a good chair
and make sure it is properly adjusted to suit your body height
and desk height. Your elbows should be about level with the desk
and you should have plenty of leg room to avoid static
postures. |
