Plush Computer Wrist Rests

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The PC Character Cushions are an Adorable Ergonomic Typing Aid

— February 9, 2016 — Art & Design
Workers that are often on their laptop devices for work open themselves up to a slew of body strain due to constant typing and sitting, making the Japanese PC Character Cushions a novelty, yet functional, set of ergonomic wrist rests. The cushions are plush animals creatively designed to support the typer's wrists, hands and arms as they spend hours working on a computer device.

The PC Character Cushions come in a variety of styles and designs such as the Komasan and Kapibara-san. The stuffed animals are structured to sit in the consumer's lamp to provide added support for the worker to lean into as they work. The stuffed animal is then attached to a faux plush keyboard that supports the writer's wrists while they type on their laptop. The soft material absorbs any added strain for an effort-less work session.
