I did a radical switch to an Alphagrip keyboard, which is still membrane switches (as far as I can tell). No more random twinges of pain. The primary difference is that I no longer wrest my wrists on anything (even a gel type pad), but it could also be that I don't use as much force to activate the keys when my fingers are already there.

This "game controller"?

How effective are you with it? Looks like a bit of a learning curve.

Yep, that's the one! I can get around ~60wpm (100wpm on a qwerty keyboard) with normal text and passable at programming. Took about a month of daily typing lessons to get that fast and I still need a regular keyboard around for annoying key combos.
