Recently picked up a Lily 58 - loving it so far! Thinking about getting a wrist rest, does anyone have one they've enjoyed using?

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
Keep it ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

You got a lot of great recommendations.
I just wanted to throw in that you shouldn’t actually put your wrists on the wrist rests, because it can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome.
Instead you should rest the meaty part of your palm. So it’s better to refer to them in your head as “palm rests”.
And for ideal ergonomics you should only rest on them when you are not typing. When you are typing your hands should be floating.
And of course, your table height should be at or below elbow level so that your elbows are 90 degrees or less.
