I have neither, but if the Unicomp is the same height as a Model M then I would hazard a guess that the RealForce would have a lower profile at the front.

However you should not be resting your wrists on a wrist rest while actually typing - that is only meant for resting your wrists between typing.  And also you should not be resting your wrists, rather the heels of your palms.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I don't have a Unicomp to compare but my Realforce 87UB is the lowest profile keyboard I have. Compared to my other keyboards QFR, Ducky TKL's and HHKB Pro2 the Realforce has the lowest profile.
