Piece of Fabulous Friday – Armrest Mousepad
July 2nd, 2010
Well with Geekulous being officially transferred to WordPress I’m happy to say I can now start posting content again. I was on vacation and in a hotel room when I was redesigning Geekulous and getting the theme template ready to go live. Being on vacation I didn’t think to bring a mouse with me so all of my website editing was done using my trackpad. Now I love my multi-touch trackpad but a trackpad is far from the most efficient method of moving page elements around and constantly clicking to move from one application to another. When I was searching for this Friday’s piece of fabulous I came across this nifty chair accessory and thought to myself I wish I had had that while editing Geekulous.
So, without further ado, today’s piece of fabulous is: the armrest mousepad. This is one of those “why didn’t I think of that?” products. The armrest is exactly as the name describes, an armrest with a mousepad at the end of it. With your mouse pad attached directly to your armrest on your work chair prevents you from having to reach to maneuver your mouse, and, I’m not an expert but I can only imagine it’s more ergonomic than using the mouse on the desktop in front of you. For someone who’s on a computer as much as I am, I’m always interested in finding ways to remain comfortable while working for long stretches. This armrest seems to be something that would be great for me (and anyone else who spends the majority of their day in front of their computers). The armrest attaches to almost any office chair, you can even attach it to a desk if you like. Throw in the removable and washable mousepad and for about $43 you’ve got yourself a great addition to a more comfortable, ergonomically designed work area.
