Arm-Stand Computer Armrest (eg-ergoarm), Silver, 12.1 X 8.8 X 5.6 Inches

I read the reviews on this item and decided to purchase it anyway. It was only 50 bucks, and if it worked then it would be worth it, I figured. I wasn't disappointed. This is a very nice item. I saw a lot of complaints that the armrest moves around. I think these people are missing the point. It's supposed to move. In fact, that's what makes it so nice. I've found myself leaving my mouse hand forearm in the rest even when I'm not using my mouse. It's that comfortable. It's like a chair armrest that floats, moving with you. The pad itself has different configurations too. The only fault I can find with this item, so far, is the little plastic inserts that come with it to cover the non-knob side of the adjustment pivots fit too loosely and fall out. Otherwise, I think this item is pure genius.Update, 1/12/14 - I still enjoy this arm rest and mouse pad. I'm using it with a laptop, so it lines up very well on the desktop. It's very sturdy still and very comfortable.Update 2/13/15 I still love this item. I spend a lot of time at my computer. No signs of wear that I can see. This really keeps me pain free. Well worth the cost.Update 3/21/18 Still use this every day. The mouse pad rubber is peeling away from the metal part it's glued to, but after 4 years of daily use, I'd say that's pretty good. Still no thought to replace it. It really saves my wrist by putting the weight on my forearm instead.Update 6/6/20 Still working great. The action of the pivots is still very smooth and forearm cradle is still very comfortable. I replaced the mouse pad with a trimmed-to-fit NFL pad and a little glue.

The media could not be loaded. So I just got this today in the mail. Installation couldn't have been easier on my desk - I put the clamp over the desk, and tightened it. Slide the mouse pad down on top. Adjusted the arm to a particular height. Took me about 4 minutes or so. I suffer from 2 things - Shoulder pain, and elbow pain. I have bony elbows, and I frequently injure my rotator cuffs. These 2 items make my shoulder sore from being extended, and my elbow sore from resting on the arms of the chair. This device instantly solved these issues for me. My elbow is now on a decent seeming pad which can more or less take the entire weight of my arm and hand. My mouse is the perfect height with regards to my arm (because the arm can be adjusted up or down quite a bit) I can keep my arm in the elbow cradle while moving to type - it swings with your arm if you just let the weight of your arm sit on it (versus trying to use your arm's muscle to move it, if that makes sense). It helps me to be able to type because I only have to really hold up one arm (my left, which is not as bad). This is a pretty expensive price for what seems like something so simple, but I think I'm going to get another one and put it on the left to alleviate all of my shoulder/arm pain. Also I think someone else may have mentioned this, but I Feel like I'm sitting straighter because of this thing. It seems really great and I Hope it is as durable as it seems like it should be.I included a small video trying to sort of demonstrate how it moves with my arm while I'm doing tasks. I know my desk is a mess get over it. : )I will report back in awhile to track the item's longevity.

I like having the ability to adjust the arm rest in two different places to ensure maximum comfort to your arm and therefore shoulders. Wish the actual piece you rest your arm in was a tad bigger, and that the edges of the mouse pad were softer. As it stands now, in order for my arm to be the the most comfortable, I had to adjust the arm rest to be a tad lower than the mouse pad... the hard edges of the mouse pad can get a bit uncomfortable on my wrist, and so I end up adjusting the arm rest up to make everything flush... but then my arm feels like bit of strain, so I adjust down again etc... etc... I'm still playing around with this to find the most comfortable spot. I would recommend placing a piece of rubber or foam or something around the edge of the mouse pad part so that both wrist and arm can be comfortable. Extremely easy to put together and adjust. Seems well made.

I'm giving this five stars even though I am still figuring out how to use to best fit my ergonomic needs.you need to know that this thing is not cheap and flimsy. It is heavy duty and very secure once I've affixed it to my desk. It comes with wood screws for permanent placement but I used the tension method it came with.I've tried different configurations and think that I may vary them depending on the type of work that I'm doing. I don't need it for typing but do need it when I am doing mouse-intensive work like creating graphics or working on animations.There are three configurable parts which you will have to fiddle with to find what works for you.One is the placement of the built in mouse pad.One is the elevation of the arm from the desktop.One is the elevation of the armrest from the arm.I suggest that you try something for an hour or two, then go back to how you were working, and figure it out over time. In my mind, this is much like wearing a new pair of insoles or orthotics in a pair of shoes. You are likely so used to working in an ergonomically incorrect position that as you begin to correct to a healthy position you may feel MORE pain that you did while working in an unhealthy position. This is why when you buy corrective insoles, a podiatrist will tell you to work your way into wearing them least you experience foot pain, leg cramps, back pain, etc. You've been out of alignment for so long that getting into alignment takes time.Part of my problem in using this was figuring out that I needed to raise my chair about 1/2 inch in order to keep my shoulders parallel to my desk when doing a project that is mouse-intensive. Using this has also caused me to sit up straighter even though I thought I usually sat straight. I do when just typing, but when doing long projects using a mouse, I tend to lean towards to mouse arm.
