personally I had trouble until I got a wrist rest that was:
- high enough (forearm to wrist straightish to concave, NOT splayed back)
- just the right softness (too hard = palm fatigue)
- kept my wrists warm enough. I think cold palms/wrists might be a bad situation
for my mouse, I found using a smaller mouse-dedicated wrist rest full of beads worked for me.
why people would use wooden or plastic wrist rest is beyond me. Same for typing with your palms on a cold laptop surface. (also remember there are NO OSHA-approved laptops, they are not ergonomic)
