Has anyone developed problems from using a mouse/keyboard wrist rest?

ergo_typing:
I've always thought about wrist rests more as a place to rest the hands when pausing between typing. So when pausing to read what I've just typed looking for bugs I use them. Then as soon as I start typing again, I start floating my wrists again.

granola bar enthusiast:
i sometimes take my wrist rest and just push it back so its supporting my arm and my wrist is floating so it's all straight.

i found using a wrist rest as advertised is kind of uncomfortable and i will never use a mouse wristrest in hell

butre:
don't use one with a mouse, but if your posture is fine then using one with a keyboard isn't gonna hurt anything.

marketwo:
I have been researching into the wrist rest and found this useful article.

You can read into the detailed explanation, but floating your wrists is ideal compared to resting your wrist on the wrist rest.

I've never used it and never had a problem with my wrist :)
