Get a lot of pain in the left wrist (keyboard) during a long gaming session.

Anyone recommend a decent cheap wrist wrest?

Also I can feel tingling and sensation like a loss of blood flow to my gaming mouse hand. Anything suitable for this?
 
Sounds like symptoms that over a long term can end up as carpal tunnel syndrome.

A wrist rest may not necessarily make things better, you likely need to look at positioning as a whole - try and get into a position where your wrists are straight and relaxed ( e.g you may need to raise or lower your chair, which may then mean your monitor height also needs changing).

Short breaks, often will also help (rather than infrequent long breaks).
 
I have found that since placing the keyboard to the left and mouse to the right wrist pain is a lot better.
Yes you can swap if you are left handed but not having the keyboard directly in front seems to be more relaxed. Also consider the height of chair vs desktop.
Andi.
 
I bought the glorious PC gaming set when OCUK released them and it's helped me with longer playtimes.
