I've been using a Kinesis Ergo Contoured Keyboard for over a year, for 10+ hours a day. Other than the initial 2 week muscle adjustment period, my hands no longer hurt, they no longer go numb after a long day at work. The cool think about it everybody who walks by your cubicle will say to you "Woah, that's a cool keyboard." Also, I went from 50 wpm on a normal keyboard to 85+ with the Kinesis and I'm using the QWERTY layout right now.

P.S. Looks like they just released a new keyboard - though I'll be sticking with the Contoured model. I'm not affiliated with Kinesis-Ergo in any way - I just think their keyboards rock! Wouldn't you be this enthusiastic about something that saved your hands?
My Kinesis Rocks! I've been using one for over a year. No more numb hands after a long day at work. Not too expensive either ($150-170 for the base model)
