Tools and Hardware Reviews of Imak Products Smart Glove Wrist Support Reversable - Size Medium
Customer Review: Smart Glove Wrist Support, Medium
Summary: 4 Stars
Although I like this wrist support, I think my wrist is beyond repair as my elbow and my upper arm also hurt. But I use it anyway to keep the wrist straight while I am typing. I enter hotel reservations all day long, and then have to type post and assignments in my online class. My arm, shoulder and neck needs more support.
The beads on the palm of my hand keep making me type in wrong letters and after awhile it is annoying so I take it off for an hour or so to let my hand breathe.
Not sure if I would buy this again. I am currently looking for another wrist support before my elbow really gives me problems.
Customer Review: Smart Glove is Truly Smart!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one of these IMAK smart gloves about 6 years ago from my chiropractor's office. I was having some hand and wrist pain at the time. Since then, I wore the smart glove whenever I was using the computer keyboard repetitively, particularly a laptop which does not have any wrist support. The glove has greatly prevented me from developing carpal tunnel syndrome. My wrist is doing quite well. The glove is flexible and comfortable. What I like is there is no velcro straps like some wrist supports. The other thing, are the beads in the palm of the glove. They really provide some extra padding for my palm. So, after my other glove was worn down to the threads, I found the same brand on Amazon and ordered one. It's the same design as 6 years ago, and I am so happy with that. I hope they stay in business a long time, I will want to buy more of their products.Customer Review: Terrible Product
Summary: 1 Stars
The Imak Smart Glove is meant to keep wrist in a ergonomically correct position, and increase comfort and circulation, but it doesn't come close to the promise (see Cons). Simple put, this a horrible product. Don't waste your money, returned in 24 hours of arriving.
PROS: Washable and Reversible.
CONS: Where to start?
1. The cheap plastic and foam splint, on only the top, leaves your wrist with a full range of movement. Not a good thing when movement is what you are trying to prevent. I found that my wrist was still in the "bad" positions even will wearing.
2. The "ErgoBeads" don't increase comfort, as it is like holding a beanbag in your hand the entire time. I had a terrible time typing, using my mouse, and basically every other activity that requires gripping. They also don't increase circulation, they just don't restrict it.
3. The overall manufacturing is poor. When I first put the Smart Glove on I could hear the stitching breaking. The thumb hole is to tight and during active use is painful. The fabric also doesn't breath, so your wrist will be hot and sweaty.
Other: If you need something for computer use buy a keyboard/mouse wrist support, as they work better and are cheaper.

Took away the pain. You really need these gloves when using the Kensington ExpertMouse Trackball, which has an unfortunate upward slope.
