5.0 out of 5 stars Great or not depending on what you are looking for, January 16, 2010

I use these IMAK smart gloves off and on at night only, not when working, when my wrists are painful. You can see when reading the other reviews that some people think these are the best things since apple pie and others think they are worthless and misleading. It depends on what you want. If you have serious carpal tunnel and want something that will NOT allow your wrist to bend, particularly if you plan to wear them while working, then this is not for you. You need something with a metal bar inside that doesn't bend. On the other hand, if you want something that allows for some movement but is NOT (as some reviewers incorrectly claim) zero resistance, but just moderate resistance, and is very comfortable to keep your wrists from bending too much especially when sleeping, then these are great. It is just incorrect to say that these smart gloves offer no resistance to bending. That is false. They do offer some, but not nearly as much as a metal bar. It all depends on what you want.

One other comment is that if you want something to wear while sleeping, as I do, then velcro straps are unpleasant. They pick up a lot of lint and make a lot of noise moving your arms around at night. These IMAK smart gloves don't use velcro, which is one more reason they are wonderful and comfortable for night use.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love These Things, August 16, 2008

I'm now on my fourth pair of these. I wear them so much that they wear out after a couple years. They really help keep my carpal tunnel at bay. The bean bag cushion on the palms is a nice way to elevate your hands above the keyboard. The support on top of the hand is rigid enough to keep your wrist straight but flexible enough to allow natural movement.

!!! I was freaking the eff out when I started to develop carpal tunnel. I have had friends develop it before, and I should have given them more sympathy, because I hadn't realized that:
a) it makes your arms feel like they're on fire
b) that your fingers go so numb that you can't type anymore
c) that it affects your sleep.

I draw the line at c).

I went online to buy a wrist splint and almost ordered one that was specialized for women, since I have slim wrists...then I saw that other customers had bought these babies by imak, and that I could have two gloves for the price of one wrist splint. I rush ordered them, which I've never done before.

I was nervous that they would be too big for my delicate little manos, but they fit pretty well. If you've ever been obsessed with beanie babies then these gloves feel like an old old friend. i don't think i could have gotten through writing papers for my Stanford english lit papers without them. They poise my fingers over the keyboard at just the right height and give my hands enough movement so that I can wear them all day--I still take breaks and do exercises though!
