The wrist support is used in front of a computer’s keyboard to rest the user’s wrist upon. It measures approximately 18-1/2’ x 2’.

The mouse support is made of two rectangular shaped knit fabric panels. The panels are sewn together on all sides and are filled with plastic pellets. It is used in front of a computer’s mouse to rest the user’s wrist. It measures approximately 6” x 4-1/8”.

You have indicated that the item will be marketed for use in alleviating tension resulting from hours spent working at a computer keyboard.
