I share the exact same sentiment because using a wrist wrest for a year actually gave me carpal tunnel. Just like how it's cautioned about in this article.

I was using the wrist wrest the wrong way, however, just about everyone marketing wrist rests shows them used the wrong way, so it's a bit more than just "user error" at play here.

As the article goes into, the best way to type is with hands hovering over the keyboard. I accomplish this by using a chair with high adjustable arm rests. If the arm rests can pivot inwards like on the Herman Miller Mirra, then a standard keyboard will do. If the chair's arm rests are only height adjustable, then I use a split ergonomic keyboard. Either way, my hands are kept floating above the keyboard.

If I did still use a wrist rest, I would have it spaced far enough away from the keyboard such that it would effectively be a forearm rest. Doing so would use up more desk space than I'd be comfortable with, hence why I skip wrist rests entirely.
