It's worth talking to an ergo specialist, but if you can't easily keep your wrists up it often means your broader setup isn't right - your chair is too low or your keyboard is too high (common on desks based on old designs.)
I've had carpal and nerve issues in the past, so I watch this a lot... generally you can drive the better habits simply by reconfiguring the work setup.

But all of this is quite irrelevant when one is talking about the inherently non-ergonomic use of a laptop that only happens in meetings and hotel rooms.
- tomkarlo 13y agoIf your ergo expert is talking about auras instead of measuring your dimensions and evaluating your posture, you need to find a real ergo expert. Even for ad-hoc use in meeting rooms and hotel rooms, a good expert can help you do a better job and protect your nerves. Anyone who works at a computer all day should probably go at least once a year, just like an annual physical. http://mindfulmotionphysicaltherapy.com/what-is-an-ergonomic-evaluation-and-why-is-it-important/ http://mindfulmotionphysicaltherapy.com/what-is-an-ergonomic...
