the "eggs" just below the QUERTY?


Wrist rests to reduce whatever that stress is that people get from

Actually I think they're "cursor control devices" - basically a mouse/trackball-type thing. I've
never seen one in person but it looks like you rest your palm on the thing and use your fingers to
control it, the "control" part not being visible in the photo because it faces toward the front of
the plane.
