Wrist rests that keep your wrists on a neutral line
A wrist rest lifts your wrists to the same height as your keyboard or mouse, so they stop bending upward through a long day at the desk. It is the smallest, cheapest change you can make to a typing setup — and often the first one worth trying if your wrists ache by the afternoon.
A wrist rest stops your wrists dropping or bending up between keystrokes — rest your palms during pauses, keep wrists floating while typing. Deskt stocks keyboard and mouse wrist rests in gel, memory foam and walnut, shipped free across the EU with a 2-year warranty.

Wrist rests are low, cushioned pads placed in front of a keyboard or beside a mouse to keep the wrist in a straight, neutral position instead of angled up off the desk. When choosing one, look at the height match to your keyboard, the firmness and recovery of the fill, and a non-slip base. Deskt offers a Wave Keyboard Wrist Rest and a compact Mouse Wrist Rest, both with free EU shipping, 14-day returns and a 2-year warranty, priced in EUR including VAT.
Wrist rests — questions
Do I need a wrist rest for both my keyboard and my mouse?
Not necessarily. The Wave Keyboard Wrist Rest supports both wrists across a full-size or compact keyboard, while the Mouse Wrist Rest is a small pad for the hand you mouse with. Many people start with whichever wrist bothers them most and add the second later.
How should a wrist rest actually be used?
A wrist rest is meant to support your wrists during pauses in typing, not to press into while you type. Aim to keep your wrists floating in a straight line over the keys as you work, and let the rest catch them when your hands are still. Match its height to the front edge of your keyboard for the flattest angle.
What are these wrist rests made of, and will they slide around?
Both use a soft, supportive fill that lifts the wrist without collapsing flat, and both sit on a base designed to stay put on a desk. If a rest does not suit you, our 14-day return window and 2-year warranty apply, with free EU shipping on every order.
