Ergonomic Accessories: Comfortable Computer Use Every Day
Intensive computer use places a heavy burden on wrists, hands, arms, and shoulders. The right ergonomic accessories reduce this strain and prevent complaints such as RSI, carpal tunnel syndrome, and shoulder pain. At BNR Kantoor, you will find a complete range of ergonomic accessories for the modern workplace. Also, check out our other workplace accessories.
Types of Ergonomic Accessories
Ergonomic Mice
Ergonomic mice are designed to keep the wrist and arm in a natural, relaxed position. Vertical mice, trackballs, and pen mice reduce forearm rotation and wrist pressure during prolonged mouse use.
Mouse Pads
A good mouse pad provides a smooth and consistent surface for the mouse and reduces resistance. Mouse pads with an integrated wrist rest support the wrist in a neutral position and reduce pressure during prolonged mouse use.
Ergonomic Keyboards
Split or curved ergonomic keyboards keep the wrists and arms in a natural position while typing. They reduce strain on wrists, forearms, and shoulders during intensive typing.
Desk Pads
A desk pad protects the desk surface and provides a soft, pleasant work surface. Many desk pads feature a calendar, notepad space, or an integrated mouse pad. They give the desk a neat and professional appearance.
Wrist Rests
Wrist rests for keyboards and mice support the wrists in a neutral position and reduce pressure during prolonged typing and mouse use. Effective for complaints such as RSI or carpal tunnel syndrome.
Document Holders
A document holder places paper documents at eye level next to the monitor. This prevents you from constantly having to turn or bend your head when transcribing text, which reduces neck and shoulder complaints.
Laptop Stands
A laptop stand raises the laptop screen to eye level. Always combine with an external keyboard and mouse for a fully ergonomic working posture. Ideal for remote workers and flexible workers.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ergonomic Accessories
What is the difference between a regular mouse and an ergonomic mouse?
A regular mouse requires the hand to lie flat on the desk, which rotates the forearm inward (pronation). An ergonomic mouse — such as a vertical mouse — keeps the hand in a more natural, handshake position, reducing muscle strain.
Does the employer reimburse ergonomic accessories?
Yes, in many cases, the employer reimburses ergonomic aids, especially if they are necessary for a healthy working posture. Contact our customer service for advice.
