Exactly what the doctor ordered

I've been having many problems with my arm lately because of the position I have been using at my office for the past 4 months. When I moved offices I had to adopt a drastically different posture when using my computer, and since I am a computer programmer this had a great impact into my arms ability to function right. I noticed for an entire week that my arm hurt and kept hurting more. I saw my primary care physician and he recommended I get a glove. Picked one up at Office Depot to try it out and ended up liking it so much that I'm here on Amazon to get another for my other hand (they're reversible and are very comfortable).

Relief for the heel of my hand.

The glove fits my hand comfortably. I read previous reviews stating that it was too tight. I worried that this would be a problem for me, but am glad to share that the glove fits well. There are a lot more beads than I expected. I wanted to use the glove for home and at work. It works great at work, but not too well at home. The beads sit from the middle of my palm to the just past my wrist line. My mouse at home is longer than my mouse at work. Therefore, the beads get in the way at home. Since I'm on the computer more hours at work than at home, I've decided to keep the glove. By the way...the beads create quite a cushion. Very happy for the heel of my hand.

Better than nothing.

This product in the short time I've had it is already forming clumps of the "ergoBeads" inside of it and the fabric is pilling.

That being said it does help,though not as much as I'd like.My hand has a nasty painful knot where it rested from using my mouse.That is still there but the padding prevents it from hurting worse than it already does.

The durability is my only real issue with this product.

Needs some getting used to, but ok as a back up

I purchased these gloves, which are the fourth iMac product I've tried. The others are all well designed and helpful. This one ranks a 'fair'. It takes getting used to how tight they are, and they can make your wrists feel constricted. If that happens, I recommend you 'break them in' for a week or two. Once they stretch out, they're particularly good for protecting the notch between the hand and wrist, where lots of Repetitive Stress injuries hurt the most.

Extremely Satisfied

I do a lot of typing at work and I use my computer at home for hours on end. I started to have a very strong pain in my right wrist. It got so bad that I would have to stop using my mouse at home. As soon as I started using this computer glove, the pain went away. I've been using it for about six months and my wrist feels great. I can now type and use a mouse for hours & hours without feeling any pain. I'm using it now as I type up this review! I think the instructions say that it must be hand washed & left out to dry, but I've use a regular washing machine & dryer and it has held up fine so far.

good gloves for typers

Computer Glove w/ ergoBeads - Carpal Tunnel Relief]]
I work with books and the computer at the same time. These versatile gloves make it easier to keep a proper angle with my keyboard and mouse. I think the next time I buy a type like this I will get the metal plate in it to assist better at reminding me of wrist positioning. I have found that using these glove has helped with the pain and numbness in my hands (onset of CTS). These are definitely worth the money if you have to have a multifunctional area to work in. I found I could wear the gloves while doing other task easily without having to take them on and off. They take a short time to get use to wearing.

I love this! It was recommended to me by an occupational therapist. I have been using ergobeads mouse wrist rests, but they have tended to get moved around or fall off my keyboard tray. This glove puts the wrist rest on your wrist so it follows you between keyboard and mouse. They don't tend to heat up your hand, either. The one drawback is that the wrist rest does get in your way somewhat if you have occasion to pause while computing to write something down with pen or pencil.
