What height should a wrist rest be?

Reviewer consensus

Reviewers consistently say the rest should match the height of your keyboard's spacebar row so wrists stay neutral. r/MechanicalKeyboards users specifically warn that thick mechanical keyboards paired with a too-low rest force the wrist to angle upward, which several high-upvote threads call out as a long-term strain risk.
