Have you considered trying a keyboard with mechanical switches? That's  
what I did and my pain completely vanished because I don't "bottom out"  
the keys and put that extra stress on my fingers and wrist.

Check out the Adesso MKB-135B -- probably the best priced keyboard in  
existence with the good Cherry switches.

I have one for home and one for work; a couple coworkers have switched as  
well.

Also, it's heavy enough you could use it as a weapon :P
