It occurred to me that you might want to vary the keyboards you use.
That is, use one style one day (standard),use another (ergo designed) the next.
Another idea which has potential with enough ram and processor power:
ViaVoice and DragonNaturally speaking are two of the voice recognition software offerings.
Both are about $100.
Here is the ad copy for Dragon (which seems to get better reviews than ViaVoice):
Dramatic Accuracy Increase
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 offers specialized editions to help your organization improve document turnaround time, reduce transcription costs, and minimize the risk of repetitive stress injuries.
Send e-mails and instant messages, surf the web, create documents - all by simply speaking. With Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9, you'll be faster than ever before and have more fun with your PC.
3 times faster than typing at 99% accuracy
Be sure to check out their Demo:

1) Adjustable Keyboard tray and mouse manager http://www.fellowes....aspx?Id=8031301 . Make sure any keyboard and mouse tray you get are adjustable in tilt and includes a place for the mouse.
2) When sitting in a chair, your eye level should hit the middle of your monitor or below. If not, you will have lots of upper back pain from slouching. A 8 inch swivel TV stand took care of this problem for me.
3) Shock absorbers for your wrist can help. But 1 and 2 are most important.
4) I recommend arm rests on your chairs.
5) Wrist curls with light weight bar bells will strengthen your wrists to prevent tunnel carpal, but check with doctors for exercises you should do with tunnel carpal. Using wrist supports can help when typing, but they also make those support muscles weak, which could make your tunnel carpal worse faster, and force you into surgery.

You might want to look here for a virtual laser keyboard, http://www.virtual-l...d.com/index.asp.
I know nothing about it, saw it on TV, and googled it. It could be a zero key pressure/ low key travel solution to your problem.
