wow, that keyboard looks painful.

Really, why would you use a hard wooden wrist rest? what a mess.

I had trouble with my palms years ago, and a soft wrist rest was the solution.

Your palms don't have high pressure points, the weight is spread out. This means the system of strings and pulleys from your muscles in your arms that control your fingers can function well, and long-term.

The skin slides across soft material.

Your wrists are warm.

and of course they are elevated and positioned well.

I have always used wood wrist wrests (for normal and split keyboards) and never had a problem with them in the way you seem to imply. It's definitely not "a mess".

I am using similar setup, without the touch module. I will never return to my usual TKL keyboard considering the comfort that I get using the UHK. I am hoping at some point the Naya keyboard is released so I can have a good trackball available as well.

I was really surprised at how much more comfortable my wooden wrist rest is. As another user pointed out, getting the elevation all I needed. Definitely one of my favorite upgrades to my setup (and definitely easier to keep clean).

Although I realize people don't take unsolicited advice, I would still suggest you try it with a nice memory foam wrist rest at some time. adjust the level.

I can type for hours and hours this way. It also makes a nice elbow rest (although you also shouldn't lean on your elbows for hours, can affect your bursa)

[inconceivable]

i think i'm going to trust the person who uses the rest to determine what's comfortable for them.

many people don't have a problem with the material hardness of the rest, they just need elevation. also fabric can get disgusting after a while.

This is a bad thing in the summer.
