Product Reviews of Imak Smart Glove Medium (Pack of 2)
Product Review: Better than I thought
Summary: 5 Stars
Was diagnosed with RSI about a year ago and have been battling it on and off until recently. Pain in my wrists and hands was the number one thing that prevented me from working on my computer. After looking at reviews here on Amazon, I thought that I give these a try as lots of people were having good results.
After receiving the gloves and using it for the first time, I saw immediate results. My hands, wrist, and arm had considerably less pain. After 2 days of using it, when I went back to using without the glove, the pain would immediately appear again. So I attribute the decrease in pain solely on the glove.
The glove is well made and is reversible. Though I got two, I'm only using on my right hand. I keep one at home and work. The splint on top is not suppose to be rigid, but gives enough support or elasticity to the tendons in the wrist and hand. After using it for a week, I can use my mouse for a brief moment glove-less without pain. I believe the glove has helped it from further damage and is allowing it to reduce the inflammation.
Product Review: Comfortable, but ZERO FUNCTION as anti-RSI
Summary: 2 Stars
I am a programmer and have RSI (Repetitive Stress Injury) in my fingers that manifests as [what seems like] a swelling in the finger joints that [effectively] prevents me from fully curling my fingers in addition to causing mild pain. (It must be pointed out that the majority of people who are diagnosed with Carpel Tunnel do not actually have Carpel Tunnel, but rather a different type of RSI more closely related to tendonitis.) So I bought this product.
The Imak Smart Glove actually does nothing to ensure proper wrist position. It leaves a full range of motion of the hand -- which is exactly that I was looking to restrict by ordering anti-RSI gloves. Yes, product is well-made and attractive, and the beads make it comfortable to rest the base of your palm, but the soft material and splint do nothing to force the hands into proper position. In fact, the "splint" is a joke because it bends freely without even providing resistance -- when it should not be flexible AT ALL.
Product Review: Does the trick

The black is just ugly - no way around it. Why can't it come in flesh colored?Product Review: Getting through grad school papers/new editorial job
Summary: 5 Stars
!!! I was freaking the eff out when I started to develop carpal tunnel. I have had friends develop it before, and I should have given them more sympathy, because I hadn't realized that:
a) it makes your arms feel like they're on fire
b) that your fingers go so numb that you can't type anymore
c) that it affects your sleep.
I draw the line at c).
I went online to buy a wrist splint and almost ordered one that was specialized for women, since I have slim wrists...then I saw that other customers had bought these babies by imak, and that I could have two gloves for the price of one wrist splint. I rush ordered them, which I've never done before.
I was nervous that they would be too big for my delicate little manos, but they fit pretty well. If you've ever been obsessed with beanie babies then these gloves feel like an old old friend. i don't think i could have gotten through writing papers for my Stanford english lit papers without them. They poise my fingers over the keyboard at just the right height and give my hands enough movement so that I can wear them all day--I still take breaks and do exercises though!
Product Review: Great for computer users!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought a pair of medium sized gloves for myself, and loved them! So I decided to buy a large sized pair for a fellow computer user, my brother! He absolutely loves them, and is quite happy! Thank you!
