Wrist mark of PC users

[RPHKR]

Year ago, I found someone posting this in a social networking site but never knew the reason for this. If anyone know it, please share.

When someone types, they get friction between two things. Like keyboard and the mat or table. And that causes that area to go darker. Same reason, if you sit on your knees everyday, after so long, you will have dark knees. Same reason, why Muslim men have dark marks on their forehead, caused by the firction between the head and the prayer mat.

I don't. Why? Because I never lean my wrist on anything as it's very bad for you!

as it's very bad for you!

Why so?

Why so?

Seriously?

Do some research on RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

I use this for mousing:

It puts zero pressure on the wrist and is far more comfortable; it can fit on pretty much any mouse as well.

I too got a cushioned mouse pad. Don't have that too.

 

[MasterBlaster76]

Is it one of those mouse pads with a gel wrist rest? I'm pretty sure that using that contributed to the slightly dodgy wrist I've got now - they might be relatively soft, but they still put a fair amount of pressure on the wrist.

I don't think its got gel inside, but its soft. It keeps my wrist elevated, so I have no problems whatsoever. Its by Razer, exactmat or something.
