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

Intriguing! I've never seen anything quite like it. Are they actually comfortable as wrist rests?
The only problem I’ve had with them is that they leave a little grid mark on your hands after a while, but they’re solid for flat keyboards.
Put some socks on them. It looks stupid, but makes them much more comfortable.
It gets rid of the marks on the hands and makes it so that they don’t stick to your hands when your sweat.
To fix that, I got these pillow case-like covers made for them!
Oh nice. Someone else suggested socks, which does feel ridiculous but hey, if you're using an ergo keyboard you're past that point.
Yeah, they're very comfortable! In response to the other comment, I posted a picture of some covers I had made for them which brings it up a notch
