Helps me relieve pain in my wrist Aug 17, 2010
By Ryan
I'm a young professional programmer and admittedly my wrists didn't begin to hurt until I started playing video games for an extended period of time (read:Starcraft 2). I purchased the Smart Glove because I began to experience pain in my wrists even after I was not at the computer. Plain and simple for me, the glove immobilizes my wrists just enough to discourage incorrect wrist positions and the bean bag elevates my wrist appropriately. I now wear the glove to work and when I'm playing video games. I feel no pain and I'm at the computer 12+ hours a day.
Pros:
- Bean bag under wrists at a perfect height to align my wrist with my mouse so I'm not flexing my wrist at an odd angle causing pain. The mouse I'm using is a Logitech Performance MX darkfield. The mouse has a higher profile than most which may be the reason it fits so well.
- Glove is nice and snug. I'm wearing a small because... well I have small hands. I would recommend that you find your size. My glove doesn't slide around and the bean bag is never out of position.
- The splint at the top is firm but not flimsy. It allows for flexibility like other users have commented. I do not wish it to be more stiff because I prefer the flexibility and it's firm enough to discourage unwanted wrist position
- Reversible!
Cons:
- I anticipate this guard to break down after a year like the other users have commented. Perhaps a more durable material can be placed below the bean bag to increase its life. However, for $10 per wrist it's silly not to wear one because it prevents further nerve damage. $10 is my copay for a doctor's visit.
- It only comes in black. No tiger print, hot pink, or sky blue colors. Meh.
TL;DR
My wrists do not hurt after wearing this guard

 Smart Glove is Truly Smart! Oct 23, 2010
By tonytigerCA
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.

Fits nicely, works better than metal types Nov 10, 2010
By Jeremy K

I had the standard carpal tunnel gloves with the metal piece in it, they didn't seem to help much. This one really seems to help, and I have no pain if I wear at all times on PC. I am on a PC basically all day and night (I work on PC and play on PC). It's also nice that it slips right on instead of velcro. I recommend.

This is better!! Mar 22, 2012
By Josh Zimmerman
I bought this for my wrist/hand, I thought this was a brace but it's actually a wrap with a hole for the thumb & then wraps around the wrist. The pain started sub sizing within minutes. I wish this was the first I tried. This is better!!
