A mouse deck is a device that attaches to a computer desk and holds the mouse at a lower level, providing comfort and preventing wrist pain. It has a textured surface that keeps the mouse in place, eliminating the frustration of a moving mouse pad.
A mouse deck is a device that attaches to a computer desk to hold the mouse, which is used to navigate through the computer system. Typically, the mouse deck attaches to the bottom of the keyboard tray and can be pulled out when needed. When not in use, it can be snapped back into place under the keyboard tray. This way, it doesn’t get in the way of the user while working or sitting at a desk.
Individuals who don’t have a mouse deck attached to their computer generally use a mouse pad instead. The mouse pad rests on top of the computer desk, which requires the user to lift their hand higher to reach it. For some users, holding one hand in that elevated position can become uncomfortable over time. It also increases the possibility of wrist pain as the user rests it against the edge of the desk while using the mouse.
With a mouse deck, the user doesn’t need to raise their hand. Instead, the mouse sits beside him at a lower level. This allows the user to place their hand in a more comfortable position. Additionally, the mouse deck eliminates the possibility of cutting off circulation or injuring your skin from resting your wrist against the edge of your desk.
Although the mouse deck is attached to your computer desk, it performs the same function as a mouse pad. A typical mouse pad has at least one side that is slightly textured on which the mouse is placed. The mouse pad is smooth enough for the mouse to move around, while textured enough to provide the traction needed to operate many mouse models.
A mouse deck also has a textured surface. This helps the mouse work properly, and because the textured surface is incorporated, the mouse always stays in place. This eliminates the frustration often associated with using a mouse pad, which can inadvertently move across a user’s desk.
