You might want to get yourself this keyboard. It'll decrease your chance of getting RSI, it might be a little faster to type on than a standard keyboard, and it's possible to remap the keys in hardware so you can take your keyboard anywhere and plug it in to anything and have it be configured with your preferred layout.
