For those who do a lot of typing, a Microsoft Natural Keyboard or the
equivalent (i.e., any keyboard that slightly splits the key area into two
zones at a shallow angle to each other, without any other changes) can
prevent RSI and relieve pain.  I've had no trouble since switching to such a
keyboard several years ago, and I type a _lot_.  The advantage to this type
of keyboard is that it does not require you to turn your hands at the wrists
to align them with the keyboard, and that makes all the difference.  At the
same time, the design is not so radical that you have to relearn anything if
you touch type, and you can still switch between this type of keyboard and a
standard keyboard as required.
