Office & Productivity · Wrist Rests (Keyboard & Mouse)
Are wrist rests actually good for your wrists?
Reviewer consensus
This is the most contested point in the source data. Ergonomics-focused threads on r/ErgoMechKeyboards repeatedly describe wrist rests as 'a double-edged sword' and note they are not necessary for good ergonomics; some users on r/MouseReview report wrist pain after extended use. Most reviewers agree they should support the palm, not bear the full weight of a resting wrist.
