Light Touch / Low Force Keyboards

buggedbug writes "My favorite old keyboard finally died, and all of the new keyboards I have tried have such a hard keypress that I get wrist pain. Can anyone suggest a good pc keyboard with a light touch / low-force keypress? I actually did try the Kinesis Classic which does have a good low force keypress (45 grams), but the contouring and relocated keys are driving me nuts and the contouring is more than I need to prevent the pain. I'd prefer to find a more standard keyboard... Any suggestions?" We've done plenty of keyboard questions, regarding durable keyboards, one-handed keyboards, ergonomic keyboards, etc. But I don't recall any on light-touch keyboards.

stop sitting at your desk.
Muscular atrophy is NOT your friend.

go outside.

life a pencil.
do something, but get away from your keyboard.

If you do not have the strength to use a regular keyboard, you definatly need to lose a bit of 'woosieness'
