5.0 out of 5 stars Great for reducing wrist pain, May 29, 2008

The ergo mat is a uniquely designed mouse pad for your computer. It's a sloping mouse pad which should help most people who have carpel tunnel because it helps the wrist be in a more natural position.

I have mild carpel tunnel and the way I've heard it explained to prevent carpel tunnel is to hold your hands and arms out in a relaxed position. Usually, the wrists are slightly rotated outwards.

The ergo mat slopes to accommodate the natural resting position of your arm and wrist. Since I'm right-handed I've positioned the mat so that it slopes down from the left to the right. It feels great.

My only issue with it is that it takes a while to get used to looking at a sloping mouse mat. It looks a little odd at first, but the benefits of using it outweigh the look.

The mat cover is made from a nice, smooth material and it seems that the inside is made from memory foam.

One additional use is that it makes a great elbow pad for your desk. Often carpal tunnel pain extends into the elbow especially if your elbow sits on the desk. I've used the pad to rest my elbow when I'm using the mouse. The only problem is I need one more ergo mat for the mouse when I use the pad as a elbow rest.

I have tried many mouse pads with built in wrist supports but this one is beating them all hands down. The normal wrist supports tend to put pressure on the carpal tunnel in my wrist but this one provides support across the whole wrist and hand. Great product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Spill Anything On It!!!, February 21, 2009

This mouse pad is extremely comfortable. As a person with carpal tunnel, I can be on the computer for hours without feeling it in my wrists like I used to. Just don't spill anything on it! One of the fish tanks on my desk leaked and spilled onto the mouse pad, and it soaked up all the water! It took days to dry out, and now it smells disgusting! Make sure you store it out of the way if you're clumsy. Despite this setback, I will be ordering a new one, so it's a great product.
