Could someone give me suggestions as to where i could find a good ergonomic keyboard. Since I got to college i've been typing a lot and i started getting early symptoms of carpel tunnel in my right hand typing on my laptops keyboard all the time. Does anyone have a good suggestion for a nice keyboard? Thanks.

You might need a brief adjustment period.

Seriously, I was happy with my MS ergonomic kb back in the day.

Other than that, you may also consider your posture and arrangement on your desk (not applicable to laptop). AFAIK, your forearms should rest on your table, but not your wrists. You should have somewhere between a quarter and a full inch of air between the desk and your wrist, depending on the height of your keyboard. Apple keyboards are a bit high. Instead of air you can also get comfy silicone pads. If you're a touch typer and hold you hands in the recommended position, then I recommend something like the MS natural keyboard.
