You might want to try the Matias Ergo Pro. I switched to it after 15 years on the MSFT Natural 4000. I still slightly prefer the 4000's layout and wrist rest, but the overall typing experience on the Matias is much better.

Can you remap keys easily? I'd like to give my right pinky a break by using my thumb for enter key duties.

No, and that's a shame, because the right half of the spacebar would make a perfect enter key. FWIW, when I had right-pinky pain years ago, I remapped semicolon to enter with good results.

If you don't mind non-standard layouts, here are some excellent keyboards that give your thumbs more to do. :)
