I will keep that in mind. A wrist rest is good to have, but I would probably need to test the arrangement.

  I don't think it is safe to use a wrist rest. You'd be applying pressure there. Keep your wrists generally straight, with a little variation. I'm using an old Microsoft keyboard. The new ones are not good, particularly the Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, because the keys aren't in straight rows. Mine has that split in the middle, but is otherwise a perfectly standard qwerty layout. I get a bit more comfort without having to relearn how to type and thus become incompatible with normal keyboards. The older the Microsoft keyboard, the better it is. The original was very much a premium keyboard, with big aluminum plates inside it for rigidity. The slightly later ones with multimedia key are OK, at least if you get the traditional arrow keys. (what I have) On the more recent keyboards, the keys are all different sizes and misaligned.

    Thanks for the input. Good points to consider and it sounds like it's worth doing more research.

    The wrist rest is actually to keep your hands inline with your wrists. So you don't have them at an angle while type. I attribute a good deal of my pain being missing from the raised section of the keyboard under the spacebar and the gentle wrist pad.
