Recently picked up a Lily 58 - loving it so far! Thinking about getting a wrist rest, does anyone have one they’ve enjoyed using?
I picked up a two pack of purple squishes. They’re amazing!
Intriguing! I’ve never seen anything quite like it. Are they actually comfortable as wrist rests?
The only problem I’ve had with them is that they leave a little grid mark on your hands after a while, but they’re solid for flat keyboards.
I have two mouse wrist wrests that I’ve used for years, definitely recommend “split” rests for your split keyboard.
I recently picked up these, and they’ve been perfect. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08ZY2WFHX
You got a lot of great recommendations.
I just wanted to throw in that you shouldn’t actually put your wrists on the wrist rests, because it can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome.
Instead you should rest the meaty part of your palm. So it’s better to refer to them in your head as “palm rests”.
And for ideal ergonomics you should only rest on them when you are not typing. When you are typing your hands should be floating.
And of course, your table height should be at or below elbow level so that your elbows are 90 degrees or less.
They are not great fits but being a solid wood wrist rest fan for my Lily I used two Wooden Mouse Wrist Pad from Glorious. They became quite annoying to deal with once I started going for tenting, however.
You could try using conical rubber bumpers to create an angle, or I’ve seen adhesive laptop stands that folks have used for tenting keyboards that I wonder if they would work for wrist rests too.
I have a pair of mouse wrist rests from amazon. I tried the ones with the wrist curve in them but in the end I prefer the ones that are just rectangular and simple. Get the cloth wrapped ones and don’t clean them in the washing machine.
I have the Corsair wrist wrest and cut it in half with a large pair of scissors
Hi, I am using Fellowes Crystal 9112301 - generally good and comfortable. Common and easy to buy everywhere, but it is worth checking the prices, because there are differences between suppliers.
I have these for my Redox keyboard. They use buckwheat hulls and are easy to clean. They look sold out currently, but maybe if you message the maker they might sell them again or be able to do a custom order.
