Abstract
Wrist-supports comprises an arched panel (25) standing on a pair of footing edges (26) extending in a side to side direction. Panel (24) comprises firm material that is thin enough to flex as shown in figure (2). Flexible material sleeve, platform having a channel or keyboard housing is required to constrain panel (25) in its arched configuration, as shown in FIGS. 1, 4, 8, 11, and 12. A separate support is recommended for each wrist. The designs provide surprising benefits of comfort, reach, and wrist-straightening. Many variations are considered. A mobile version with hand strap (36) is shown in FIG. 12. A sloping version is shown in FIG. 7 comprising trapezoidal structure panel (25), shown in FIG. 6.
