I get pain sometimes too but I had a hard time with the ergonomic keyboard. I probably am doing something wrong. But as it was said above, long term health wins.
If you can't place a ruler from your forearm to your knuckles; you will eventually be in for pain caused by wrist problems.
I used to use just a keyboard with the back feet up and after 15 years ended up with pain bad enough that I had trouble driving my car. After I flattened the keyboard and started using a wrist rest to keep my wrists flat, the pains have gone away. If you can use a "bent" keyboard, you will eliminate the side to side bending as well which causes so many people problems.
Remember: The original typing position taught in schools (when it needed to be taught using mechantical typewriters) was to keep your wrists flat. This was originally because you needed the muscle power to press the keys, but they were inadvertantly eliminating one of the potential RSI points. When you get "lazy" and rest your wrists on the table, the angle starts damaging the nerves going through the wrist bones.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
