My wrists are very sensitive to poor ergonomic conditions when dealing 
with computers...and as a result I highly recommend:

- Thumb-based mouse (logitech Trackman marble being my favorite)
- Keyboard type and position. I use a Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro 
(the old style) that is split.

With those two things, I make sure that I'm in a proper ergonomic 
position (have a desk/chair/keyboard stand) combination that both wrists 
are in a straight (both up/down and side/side) position.

For me on my main system if I have that I don't have any carpel tunnel 
symptoms. If I work on any other system for more than 2-3 hours 
consecutively I start getting forearm ache and have to switch back to my 
primary system. The trickiest part of this whole setup is getting the 
right desk/chair combo so your wrists are in the right position in 
relation to the keyboard.
