Tools and Hardware Reviews of IMAK SmartGlove
Customer Review: Save your wrists - use SmartGloves all different ways
Summary: 5 Stars
We have used these SmartGloves for several years now with great success in keeping hands and wrists comfortable and almost completely stress free even with hours and hours at the keyboard. We have used them upside down and right side up depending on the person and their weakness or injury very effectively.Customer Review: Second time buying this product
Summary: 5 Stars
After the first pair was stolen at work I bought a second pair. I have got to say if you spend allot of time on the computer like me this is the product for you. I started to feel a pain in my wrist at work and bought this product to avoid carpel tunnel. Since I've been using these gloves I have not had a single pain.Customer Review: Relief at Work
Summary: 5 Stars
I work in an office environment, typing reports, doing data entry, and whatever other matters that require sitting in front of a computer. I noticed lately that my right wrist and palm were becoming painful and sensitive. After checking around online for an ergonomic glove, I settled for this one.
Pros:
- The flexible splint. Just enough to keep my wrist/hand movements in a natural range of motion, but stiff enough to discourage me from flexing or bending my wrist too far.
- The beads on the palm. It's like the cushion that you sometimes find with ergonomic mouse pad. I hate the ergonomic mouse pads because they actually made my wrist aches worse. While I got the benefit of the arched wrist ergonomics so desires, the mouse pad hindered my mousing. With the glove I have a pad that moves with me.
- Fits just right...if you know your size. I used a ruler and determined I needed a medium glove. If you're in doubt do your measurements with a cloth measuring tape.
- Well designed. It doesn't need 10 individual straps to fit around your palm/wrist/forearm. I need ergonomic support, not a glorified cast. The glove was initially tight on my forearm, but it did stretch to fit as time went on.
Cons (very minor at this point):
- Splint may be too flexible for some. If you need more stiffness you can probably replace it with something firmer.
- Hand washing recommended, but the bead section takes longer to dry than the rest of the glove.
- Beads get in the way of mousing. Take that with a grain of salt, because my therapist said I'm a terrible with mousing ('clawing' as she called it). Old habits die hard, but at least this glove is helping out.
For you lefties this glove is reversible. I actually find the glove more comfortable on my left hand, even though my right is the one experiencing the wrist and palm issues.
Overall this glove is a lifesaver. I noticed there was almost no pain on day one. Since then it has even helped with my wrist overall when I take it off after work. So research Amazon and other websites to see what ergo glove best fits you. It's a small investment with a huge payoff.
Customer Review: Definitely helps with my carpal tunnel
Summary: 5 Stars
As a preface to this comment, I have carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel in both arms/wrists and thoracic outlet syndrome, all of which I've had for periods ranging from 6 months to 3 years, so I'm no stranger to ergonomic devices and hold them to extremely high and stringent standards.
I used to leave work every day with extremely numb wrists/palm bases, but these wrist supports, with their micro-bead palm rests, conform to the shape of my palm and distribute the force the desk exerts on them much more evenly and comfortably. I still leave work with slightly numb wrists and palm bases, but it's made a marked difference in severity. I would highly recommend this to anyone with OR WITHOUT wrist problems - they're comfortable, breathable, and will really help to alleviate some of the RSI symptoms associated with typing.
Customer Review: Works great
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm at my computer for several hours a day for years, and had been noticing lately my wrists getting sore/fatigued. These gloves have been a perfect fix. The stiff insert is a bit uncomfortable, but I also don't think it adds much, so I took that out. The ball of beads on the palm (like a bean bag), does the trick to hold my wrists up and relieve the strain. Highly recommended.
