What worked for me is:
- moving the mouse to the left (you get used to it in a week); this reduced the pain in my right wrist by half. Most of the pain on the right wrist now comes from using the arrow keys.
- getting a Typematrix 2030; adds spacing between wrists, has softer keys, leads to less movement for Enter key
- switching away from qwerty; this was twice as valuable, because I also finally learned to type properly.
