I am using is causing pains in my wrist RSI? can you suggest a keyboard
to overcome this problem?

chair, work station, and the placement of your mouse and monitor.

items can help treat and prevent typing injuries like RSI.
In any case, If you are in pain whist working and suspect it
is RSI, we strongly recommend that you stop immediately, notify your
work and seek medical advice from a doctor. If treated in the early
stages there is a strong chance of recovery.
