I had to change desks and computers (thanks, Covid) and started feeling significant wrist pain in one specific configuration I tried. Then I bought a split keyboard (Dygma Raise) and a keyboard tray to attach under the table and the pain went away. I am now building courage to spend a few thousands on a better chair, because the one Corporate sent me sucks. But seriously, even switching the chair height makes a difference.

You can also try to make your arms stronger. Have you tried those exercises where you roll a stick with something heavy attached to it through a rope? I bet there are a million other better exercises too.

On a last note, in the past I felt significant wrist pain due to bad punching technique when practicing Muay Thai. I was bending my wrist while doing punches, especially uppers. Fixing that made the problem go away in a few days. So yeah your problem could be coming from outside.
