Perhaps not a great solution but have you concidered a dictation program where you talk and it types. Something similar to via-voice perhaps?

Here are a few tip I was shown about a year ago.

Avoid always sitting in the same position to the keyboard, a slight difference can avoid a repetative strain jujury.

Try to develop a typing sytle where you use as many fingers as possible. Most people only use one finger on each hand and are able to type at fairly high speeds. in effect try to spread the load.

Type at a relativly easy pace, trying to type faster than normal leads to increased preasure per keystroke.

Try to type without your fingers actualy leaving the keyboard, almost slide them from key to key and apply only light preasure. the less noise from key clicks the less damage you are doing to your nerve endings.

Mack.
