I don't feel I have particularly "long arms", but years at bog-standard corporate issue fixed height desks left me with worrying pains in my wrists. I've dealt with this by setting my chair height so my thighs are pretty much horizontal, then setting my desk height so that when I am sitting, typing, my forearms are horizontal or nearly horizontal. I also use a laptop whose palm rest is not huge/deep, so that the front edge is not pressing against/into my wrists, particularly when I am somewhere else and don't have control over the height of the work surface (nor the chair, sometimes). I like the somewhat older Thinkpads for having a palm rest that is not too deep and that has a rounded front edge, e.g. +420, +520 (barely), ++30. When using a desktop PC with a keyboard, I place a gel wrist rest directly in front of the keyboard -- making sure the final result matches my height/posture/ergonomic preferences. My PALMS rest on the wrist -- ok, palm -- rest, not my wrists. I mention this last with regard to your situation. I you can get a keyboard / palm rest / posture combination that leaves the ends of your arms resting rather neutrally on your palms, while you type, this might help? P.S. As I got more senior and less caring in corporate land, I sometimes just brought in some tools and rebuilt my desk, myself (off-hours), to get it to the height I preferred. Going through formal channels might make this a misery, but people wouldn't bother with the fact that I'd "just done it", as long as the work was getting done.
