Those are some string keyswitches - I have seen a few people recommending against them if you have hand pain.

They don't type hard enough :-)
Joke aside, I was mainly thinking about wrist problems. I think any normal sized, model-m layout or possibly split-layout keyboard with non-linear quality switches is ok.
If the finger joints hurts, I suppose a lower activation force might be good - I guess one might be Cherry MX Brown, but I don't personally like anything else than buckling spring...
The main message is that in my experience, laptops in your lap is the worst, and exercise helps.
