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.

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.

eh.eeeeehh. I am torn between 3 and 4 stars. It works. It is 'cheaper' than it should be, that knocks it from 5 right away. No reason why this could not be made from decent metal instead of plastic. It wobbles a little more than it should, even with a good firm tightening. I did not experience some of the issues I read about with it not holding its position after taking your arm off so maybe they started using something different in the joints. Even balance is important. I bought this because my shoulder hurts from being in the 'mouse position'. But I found with this my arm is just in a different 'mouse position'. It did relieve the discomfort for a time. But practically, you can't go adjusting the thing every time you feel discomfort so for me it did not really do what I hoped it would. But the product does work and I am in a REALLY good mood so 4 stars it is!! :-)

As an electronics design engineer, I sit in front of the computer 8 hours a day, and have been doing so for the past 25 years. In recent months, I've been experiencing intense pain in my wrist, forearm, and elbow. Recently this has escalated to the point of barely being able to move the mouse without wincing in pain. The ErgoArm just arrived in the mail this morning - I set it up and have been using it for only a few hours now. What a difference! The ErgoArm is incredibly comfortable and all but eliminates the stress and pressure that I was applying to my wrist when using the mouse. It is highly versatile on where it can be mounted and how the arm rest can be positioned with respect to the mouse pad. Very small adjustments make a significant difference in how this device feels, and with a little fine-tuning of the position it is like finding the sweet spot on a high end stereo system. Wow! I wish I would have found this product a long time ago! It is very sturdy and well made - not cheap plastic junk.

Product is solid, designed well and materials aren't cheap. The pad seems to have enough space for mouse usage and the only gripe i have is that the swing arm moves to much. If you prefer something that locks in place i would suggest a different product, you like your elbow to move freely then this is the stand for you!

Well engineered and well fabricated, sturdy device, using machined light alloy castings for load bearing arm components and thermoplastic mouldings for the mouse pad and arm rest pad. This device will outlast its user! Very easy to install and adjust to fit to my arm for a comfortable position. I am well pleased with this device, and consider it to be well worth the price I paid for it. Delivery was very prompt. My purchase shipped the same day that I placed my order and arrived promptly via USPS Priority Mail.
