Ergonomic Armrest Desk Extender

I have a shoulder injury that impacts my nerves. It is, of course, in my primary hand, that I need for mouse use both at home and at work. Reaching onto my desk, next to the keyboard, was slowly killing me, until I started using my mouse on a clipboard in my lap. That led me here, to this product. I am personally using it clamped onto my computer chair. My arm is always supported at the elbow, even when I'm sitting all the way back in my chair, reading a PDF. My forearm always lays flat along the arm rest's surface (which is covered, by the by, by a simple, thin, comfortable mouse pad). My hand is holding my mouse in what is perhaps the most comfortable position it possibly could short of just being in my lap. If you need an ergonomic option to give your arm full support while you were with a mouse? This product will do it. And it was ridiculously easy to install. If you're here for the same reasons as me, consider bundling this up with a vertical mouse as well. The two of them together are working like magic, and I'm suddenly living better.

I wish this came with some sort of padding as the "cloth" that is included is not slick and so it really rubs against the skin on my elbows. Otherwise this is exactly the kind of extension I needed on my chair's armrest.

Oh my God I love this. This is a game changer. No more hurt and wrist. Shoulder should’ve bought this a long time ago. It’s sturdy it stays still firm I don’t have to worry about it moving. The design is pretty. I love the color & it’s not cheaply made. The most important part of this is that I’d love the memory foam on the wrist area. Your wrist can rest comfortably and it doesn’t move tighten it underneath and it stays steady mobility is amazing.

The bolts provided were too short to clamp it to my gaming chair. Luckily I was able to cut and modify the 2 brackets so they would pass through the ribbing of the arm so I was able to use the shorter screws rather than have an addition expense. The seller told be to use the wire tie straps they provided, but was not a fan of having this thing wire tied to the chair. Other than the assembly issue it seems decent for the price.

Fairly easy to install on chair arm, but if your chair arm is a hard, slippery surface, put something tacky under the item before installing. Much more comfortable to use than reaching up to the desktop. Thumbs up from me!

As soon as I opened it I realized it was flimsy and cheap - the padded armrest part was loose in the box and doesn't stick or grip to the arm... so if you want to use it you will need to glue it in place. Next MAJOR issue is that the plastic arm rest has no soft backing, so it clamps directly to your desk, making it likely to scratch. WORSE still is that the clamp itself has no paddinr or grip, so you have to drill the point of the clamp screw directly onto your desk surface, almost guaranteeing you will damage your desk. Totally inappropriate design for something to clamp to a home office or workspace desk, as the clamp will almost instantly loosen. Never have I taken less than 1 minute to decide to return an item without even needing to try it to see it's going to damage my desk.

I bought this product to attach to my office chair armrest, but it only works if your armrest is exactly the right width. Otherwise, it’s either going to be too tight to fit or too loose and moves around. The description says it comes with Velcro straps, but it does NOT. It actually comes with cheap plastic tie wraps, which can work on wider armrests. This mouse pad is not suitable for chair armrests because the mouse constantly slides off—there’s no rim or barrier to keep it in place. Even when I secured it tightly, it tilted and shifted, making it extremely frustrating and disruptive to my work. It would probably work better attached to a desk, but definitely not to a chair armrest. I ended up returning it and purchasing a higher-quality version with a rim to keep the mouse in place and a cushioned wrist rest for comfort.

The arm of the chair must be flat and thin for the screws to attach underneath. My armchair is very basic, and I was able to attach the screws across one point (two screws). They are good enough and the armrest extender is very firm, sits solidly on my armchair. I wanted an extender with screws underneath rather than velcron, and this fits the bill, except I wish the screws were a bit longer. Overall I am very happy with it. The price is okay. The instructions are not great, and it takes a while to figure where everything goes. But once you figure it out, everything makes sense.
