Can you describe your wrist and pinky issues?
I have found the most ergonomic setup for myself is actually a little counter-intuitive. Wrist rests actually make carpal tunnel syndrome worse for me, because despite being soft, a wrist rest ultimately leads me to focus the weight of my arms on the wrist rest (i.e., resting) , which only leads to compression of my carpal tunnel. What works better is a chair with high arm rests and a desk that's low enough to where my arms can float above the keyboard. The meaty part of my forarms is enough of cushion for my arms & nerves to avoid both carpal tunnel & numb pinky syndrome. The keyboard sits at the edge of the desk, no wrist rest required. Try it!
