"Proper" typing as I was taught had you stretch. The right pinky is supposed to handle stuff like ")", "[" etc. I think this probably fine in non-programming uses where those keys are pretty rarely used but I feel like it has resulted in me getting pain in my right hand during typing. I now use a Kinesis Advantage 2 and have programmed it so common symbols are on the keypad layer on much easier to hit keys. I essentially have a "symbol shift" and it's something I wish more keyboards and laptops would have. This has pretty much eliminated my pain problems.
