DYI leverless wrist rest? (or any other solution for wrist pain)

I've been starting to get some wrist pain on my left hand when playing on leverless, so I've been looking for solutions regarding that. I tend to rest my wrist/palm on the controller, which I know isn't very good, but can't get used to hovering my hands. In fact, I'm pretty sure hovering the hands is actually causing quite a bit more discomfort.

So I've been looking for some alternatives on how to solve this issue. I've considered wrist straps (like Tokido used to wear), but I'm unsure if that would help with my pain at all. I've seen one or 2 people use these sorts of wrist pads on their controller to mitigate the strain on the wrist, but their designs didn't look very comfortable.

Have any of you come up with a solution for this? if so, how did you do it?

is the T16 an improvement over the U16?

I've been using the Haute42 U16 for around 1.5 years now, and my main problem is that the wrist space seems a bit cramped and the build and feels cheap and too light due to being made out of plastic.

Is the T16 any better? I've been considering getting it since it looks a bit more sturdy compared to mine. Looks to be of better quality overall.

Anyone know what model he uses? Is it a custom build?

Currently investigating some stick alternatives with the parry thumb buttons, but haven't found many.

I completed the Twitch watch reward, and pressed to redeem it, but for some reason the color wasn't unlocked for me. All others were (Kragg and Olympia).

What can I do? I really wanted that color!

I've been wanting to get a thumb parry button for my old F500, but can't find a reliable way to do it without drilling a hole through the case and messing up the entire thing.

The hitbox combo looked really promising, but I can't find it being sold anywhere. Is it not out yet? when is it coming out? is there a similar product that can help me with what I'm trying to do?

thanks!

I've posted about this before, but I've been having some wrist and ring finger pain on my left hand after around 1.5 years of using a leverless. I thought I could rest my palms on it while playing, and only now have I started to notice how wrong that was and how much it is hurting my wrist.

It's come to the point where I can no longer execute some motions properly in longer sessiosn on the p2 side because my ring finger kind of gets stuck and my wrist starts hurting quite a bit.

I've tried to adapt to the "piano" style of hovering my hand over the controller, but it really just doesn't click for me. It feels even more uncomfortable.

So, I was looking for some other solutions to this problem. I use a Haute U16, a very thin leverless,so I was wondering, could a full sized, bigger and taller leverless help with this problem?

If not, what other solutions are there? Did you experience this and how did you fix it?

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me out, it's been getting so bad I've started to seriously ponder going back to stick again.
