> 5 minutes typing at full speed on QWERTY and my wrists start to hurt. (I really don't know how people do it.)

Wrist-bending to maintain the home row, I suspect. I have a different, self-taught style that partially involves holding my hands above the keyboard and using muscles all along my arms to move my hands without bending my wrists much - never had any problems.

In my case switching to a keyboard with each hand at an angle (Microsoft Natural Keyboard) changed my life as the pain went away like a switch.

It sounds like you're describing standard typing posture. Is your wrist position different than that somehow?
