I just skimmed through carpal tunnel papers on pubmed, and found a surprising large amount of papers stating, that there is no correlation between keyboard use and the syndrome.

I find myself wondering if the studies you reference actually studied the effects of poor posture, or only the use of keyboards themselves.

I have found I'm much more prone to discomfort in my wrists when I am typing on my 10" netbook half-lying down on the couch with my shoulders 30-45 degrees out-of-line with the monitor.
