Does anyone use one ? Are they helpful, I'm getting terrible wrist pains. Any specific ones that are really good? I can shell out the cash.
Thanks

I have a cheap ergonomic Microsoft keyboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823109149). With my old (non-ergonomic) keyboard, my wrists would always hurt at the end of the day, but since I started using the ergonomic one, my wrists have not hurt once.
I'm no expert on keyboards/ergonomics, but I think you should probably get a better keyboard than what I have if your wrists are very painful (maybe one with a wrist pad, like aran said).
I use this (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=095) with my PC. But I would recommend this one (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=043&active_tab=overview) if you wish to save yourself about $50.
Also, for every hour on the computer try taking a 5-15 minutes break and rest your hands/wrists.
p.s. Ice down your wrists for the next few days as it will help with inflammation and reduce the pain.

I will check it out, my wrist's hurt VERY Little, but I want to eliminate the problem before it gets worse, and I know that spending all the time I spend on the computer wont help the matter.

Yeah, I'm going to look at those too, and thanks for the tip. :)
