Abstract
A haptic wrist rest is disclosed. The haptic wrist rest includes a tactile transducer, a wrist rest tray, and a plurality of torsion rollers that permit the wrist rest tray to move primarily along a single axis and provide a restoring force as the torsion rollers store energy by twisting in response to that motion. In some embodiments, the torsion rollers comprise a cylindrical inner portion and a hollow resilient outer portion. In some embodiments, the outer portion of the torsion roller is retained on protrusions within recesses in the bottom of the tray.
