I've had a Kinesis since around 1998 or so. I still love them (although I did upgrade to a USB version). It helped my wrist pain so much that I bought an extra one just to take to work (was faster than waiting for work to purchase it). It took less than a day to learn to type on it and feels so much more natural than flat keyboards.
