Looking for good ergonomic keyboard

I just found out I have the start of RSI/carpal tunnel. I would like to get a good ergonomic keyboard for myself. I am willing to pay up to $200 (figuring it will last a long time). If anyone has any experience (good or bad) with particular models, please let me know. I don't want to spend a lot of money to get a keyboard that ends up being lousy. OR if anyone can point me at some reviews I would appreciate it.

Thanks!
 
Sadly, our previous thread on this is gone.

You want at a wrist rest and V shaped keyboard to get the lower arm and hand into a straight line. Then, for the sake of your left hand, you want to get rid of the staggered layout of keys - because as long as you have that, the fingers of your left hand will never move in a natural straight direction. If the keyboard is narrow on the right side, the way to the mouse is reduced, helping the right arm relax.

While I have positive experience with Microsoft's original "Natural" keyboard as well as cheapo Chicony Ergo model (w/ touch pad, nice), I am now going for this one, the only one with a key layout that is made for the fingers, not for the mechanical needs of the original typewriter from 100 years ago.

The only sad thing (not for the programmers among us) is it's only available with US keytops.
