Abstract:
1. A movable hand/wrist support in combination with a computer mouse for use on a flat surface, the computer mouse having a base with a lower periphery, the hand/wrist support comprising: a primary layer of material of constant thickness defining a top surface, bottom surface, and outer perimeter; the primary layer of material having an inside facing surface defining an aperture and a heel portion sized to receive a portion of the heel of a user's hand, the aperture sized to surround the lower periphery of the base of the computer mouse when the hand/unit support is on the flat surface and the computer mouse is in the aperture thereby capturing the computer mouse within the aperture and allowing the computer mouse to communicate with the flat surface to control a cursor on a computer screen, the aperture further sized for allowing a gap between the periphery and the inside facing surface of the primary layer around the entire periphery when the computer mouse is seated in the aperture providing a loose fit allowing movements of the computer mouse within the aperture without the need to move the support and allowing larger movements of the mouse by moving the computer mouse along with the hand/wrist support.
