I'm in the market for a replacement for my Dell PC keyboard.  Does anyone here have any experience with the contoured models that are supposed to reduce wrist strain?  The standard flat keyboards don't make much sense ergonomically.

BTW, I've switched to using my left hand for the mouse to save my right hand for shooting.

Just curious, but why do some key boards say stuff like, "To avoid serious injury to hands read the instruction manual" and stuff like that?  [:\]

It's not the typing.  It's those multi-hour online gaming sessions.  [:D]

Well I am an avid online gamer and I just have a standard keyboard.  I would sugest getting those little gel pads.  The straight keyboard works better cause there arnt any of those stupid curves.

I've never been able to get used to the ergo keybords.

If you decide to go with a regular keyboard go to egghead.com or pricewatch.com and look up NMB RT6856. A couple of OEMs sell these branded as their own. They are indestructible.
