Yes, within 30 days from receiving the package.

Just enough to be comfortable and stable at the same time. The pads are rubber-like: flexible and soft to the touch but not as soft as memory foam for example because the softness isn’t as essential for ergonomics as Carpio’s shape.

Yes, there were different medical specialists involved in the development process throughout the whole year. The main one was Marko Mikša, MD, who worked with us part-time for a year. He has experience in Plastic, Reconstructive, Aesthetic Surgery, and Burns (including Carpal Tunnel surgeries). You can check his LinkedIn profile here. Other consultants were several physicians trained in occupational medicine.

One of the studies that we took into account was conducted by Harvard School of Public Health, Kettering University and Northeastern University and showed that raised palm support was associated with less wrist extension and lower applied forces to the mouse pad. Participants also reported less musculoskeletal discomfort when using a support. You can read more here.

We’re preparing to conduct our own study but please beware that this is a long and costly process.

Now this is an important one - significantly. In most cases, other wrist rests like gel pads don’t provide any significant ergonomic benefit and usually increase the risk by:

1. Applying the pressure to the underside of the wrist, or carpal tunnel to be more precise, and compressing the tissues, slowing down blood supply...
2. Fixing your wrist position, which causes additional stress for your wrist as you are forced to move the mouse by rotating/flexing your wrist instead of using your whole arm and shoulder (larger, stronger muscles)

And that's why Carpio reinforces that pressure from the wrist to the lower palm (thenar and hypothenar part), so actually, it's a palm rest rather than a wrist rest, and lifts your wrist for about a centimeter to reduce the harmful extension. Also, it moves/glides together with your hand and enables the arm and shoulder motion.

Relatively well? Yes. But it depends on the surface. Some customers say it's perfectly fine while others would prefer smoother gliding. We're already working on improving that and will try to give existing customers (like you, potentially) the option to get the new feet later, for free. Sign up on our mailing list and stay tuned!

We don’t really recommend using Carpio with a vertical mouse but some of our customers do use it - and enjoy it. Here’s a picture from one of them:

Sure, because of a similar wrist extension as with using a computer mouse. Carpio lifts your wrist and reduces the angle.

• Numbness, tingling, and pain in your thumb and the first three fingers of your hand.

• Wrist pain and burning that travels up your arm.

• Weakness in the muscles of the hand

• Dropping things

In general, yes. However, if you’re playing fast paced games that require a lot of precision, beware - it might bother you until you get used to it. 

Carpio consists of three pieces so you’ll be able to replace the pads or the base easily once we introduce new versions/colors. However, you can easily glue them to the base if you want to.

Carpio won the Rector’s Award for the Best Innovation at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia and Silver Award for the Best Young Enterprise from the Slovenian Chamber of Commerce.

We are planning on making a keyboard version in the upcoming months.

We’re happy to say that we're finalizing it and plan to release it by the end of June.
