Exercise Equipment Question

A while back someone posted about a hand exercising device. There were a number of recommendations, but one stood out because it exercised the muscles in the hand in both directions: contracting and stretching out. If I remember correctly it looked like a ball with rubber band loops attached to it. The fingers would go in each loop. This allowed the user to both squeeze the ball and then use the rubber hands to fully extend to an open hand. But I have searched both the forums here and online and can't find a thing. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Anyone have a link for this, or anything that might work? I'm experiencing hand cramps and pain from too much mouse/PC use, and figured some exercise would alleviate it.
Thanks.
 
Maybe you're getting carpal tunnel and not hand cramps... it's not like you using a lot of muscle when using a mouse
 
Possible, but it feels more muscular than the typical pain associated with CTS. The pain is more in the hand than in the wrist area. Either way, if it becomes serious a visit to the doc will be in order. In the meantime, I figure this exerciser would be a good thing. . .but I just can't find it.
 
Less fps would be the answer. hours of mousing and contorting your fingers on the left hand into the inverted t doesn't help. You better watch it or you are gonna end up with lots of physio, like me.
