Wrist support device for keyboards

An apparatus comprising:

• a) a keyboard having a front edge portion and keys;
• b) a member having upper and lower sections, where said upper and lower sections form a grasp in said member which gap is adapted to receive said keyboard and said upper section being adapted to support a keyboard operator's wrists for comfortable operation of said keyboard;
• c) resilient connecting means for connecting the upper and lower sections of said member together, each of said upper and lower sections having respective first and second ends, said connecting means being coupled to said respective first ends of the upper and lower sections of said member, said gap forming an opening at said respective second ends of said upper and lower sections, which opening communicates with said gap and is structured and arranged to receive said keyboard, said connecting means for clamping the upper and lower sections onto said keyboard when said keyboard is inserted into said gap between said respective second ends.
• d) said keyboard front edge portion having a length, said gap is longer than said keyboard front edge portion length, so that the front edge portion of said keyboard may be adjusted within the gap for the purpose of allowing a keyboard operator to adjust said member to fit the operator's finger length.

A method of provided a support for a keyboard operator's wrists or hands while using a keyboard, comprising the steps of:

• a) providing a generally U-shaped member having a surface that is adapted to support said operator's wrists or hands, said member having an open end and a closed end, with said open end having a gap that is sized smaller than a thickness of said keyboard, said closed end comprising resilient spring means that resists a change in the size of said gap;
• b) overcoming said spring means and spreading said gap apart;
• c) inserting said keyboard into said spread apart gap;
• d) allowing said spring means to shrink said gap such that the open end closes on the keyboard.
