The Ergonomic Gliding Wrist Rests are low‑friction, ball‑transfer wrist supports designed to help users with limited wrist mobility, restricted range of motion, or difficulty lifting their wrist while typing. Each rest uses four 16 mm steel balls to glide smoothly across the desk surface, reducing drag and allowing effortless repositioning without lifting the wrist.
The wrist rests raise the hand to a comfortable typing height that aligns well with the Logitech MX Mechanical keyboard (verified using the official reference CAD). This helps maintain a more neutral wrist angle and reduces strain during long typing sessions.
A compact vertical storage dock is included to keep both wrist rests organized when not in use. The dock is a single printed part and sits separately from the keyboard.
Everything is fully printable in PETG, requires only common hardware, and is designed for portability, comfort, and accessibility.
Hardware and Parts:

4× 16 mm steel balls (or 16 mm marbles as a low‑cost alternative)
