I recently got a Dierya 65% keyboard, and think it is rather thick.

Is this normal for a mechanical keyboard? Or is the Dierya exceptional high? Do you use a wrist rest? If so, is there anything special to look out for? Or will any wrist rest do?

    I do, I find the wooden one to be the most comfortable one, but haven’t found a wood one since I started using a split board, so I 3d printed one… But ran out of resin midway through, then I realized resin is not great to have in contact with the skin so I painted it… Then I realized that sweaty palms might end up removing the paint and I also wasn’t sure that the paint was good for skin contact, so I glued some rubber feet on top… I still don’t fully trust it so I put some paper napkins on top… Yeah, I should really try to find some wooden split wrist rests…

      Sound I could make something my self from a piece of wood! Sand it smooth.

      Good way to test the benefit of wrist rest.
