Hockey Puck For The Wrist

What it is
Wristgliders are pads shaped like hockey pucks which help correctly position the wrists while typing or moving a mouse.

What It Does
Forget those blocks of foam rubber and velour socks stuffed with buckwheat hulls that you may have been using to keep your wrists from hurting after a long day at the computer.

The Wristglider offers the computer jockey another way to keep those wrists poised in the correct position to avoid the pain, suffering, and pesky workman's compensation paperwork that comes with carpal tunnel syndrome.

Unlike the usual stationary wrist-rest, Wristgliders slide with the movements of your hand, so you never run out of pad and can maintain the proper position.

Cleanly designed, the Wristglider comes in four colors, and is sold on via Wristglider's home page, listed below.

What It Means
The Wristglider site is a sound working example of how to set up an online storefront. Given the high volume of computers and accessories selling through such sites as Dell and Ziff-Davis' Computer Shopper, Wristgliders are a natural for the Internet audience.

What It Costs
$9.95 per 'puck,' $16.95 for two, or $23.95 for a three-pack.
