Fellowes 9178401 wrist rest Gel, Polyurethane Blue

The Fellowes 9178401 wrist rest gel cushion provides ergonomic support for the wrists during extended typing sessions. Constructed from gel with a polyurethane cover in a blue finish, the wrist rest measures 490 mm wide, 58.7 mm deep and 23.8 mm high. Its design aims to reduce pressure on the underside of the wrist and promote a more neutral hand position. The product is covered by a 5-year warranty.

Advantages

The gel core conforms to the shape of the wrists to distribute pressure evenly while the polyurethane surface offers a smooth, durable contact area that is easy to clean. The dimensions suit full-size keyboards and desk setups where a wider support area is preferred. The combination of materials provides a balance between soft support and structural stability for consistent performance over time.

Suitable for

• Office workers and remote employees who type for long periods
• Users seeking to reduce wrist strain and improve typing posture
• Workstations with full-size keyboards or extended keyboard trays
• Environments where a wipeable, low-maintenance wrist rest is required

How to use

Place the wrist rest directly in front of your keyboard so your wrists rest on the gel surface while typing. Align the centre of the wrist rest with the centre of the keyboard to maintain a neutral wrist alignment. Use the full width of the rest to support both hands during long typing sessions, and avoid placing excessive pressure or leaning weight solely on one side. Clean the polyurethane surface with a soft cloth and mild detergent if required, and allow it to dry before use.

Recommendations

For ergonomic benefit, combine the wrist rest with an adjustable chair and a keyboard positioned at elbow height. Regular breaks and light wrist stretches are recommended during prolonged computer work to complement the support provided by the wrist rest.
