I would reccomend thay you try eBay. I bought a Microsoft Natural Keyboard from there at less than half the retail price. Have been happily touch typing ever since, and it has definitely eased the strain on my wrists.

I don't know about typing in Chinese, but I heard typing in Dvorak instead of Qwerty can help immensley with comfort. Have you thought about switching your keyboard layout or input method?
I use 'sebulsik' instead of 'doobulsik' to type Korean, and it has done wonders to my wrists. It didn't cost me very much.

I think you mean typing with different imput method....
Well, because i type about 10000 words per day, so i think no matter changing any typing method will still cause some press on my wrists.
i think i'll get that on ebay...
But!!
I'll be 18 two years later.
I am using 'Korean Input System (IME 2002)'. Which one is the most used type in Korea? Just don't want to end up learning all the stuff again. It's hard enough already

아니 뭘. Doobulsik is predominant in South Korea. I think most Korean IMEs default to doobulsik.
If you have all the consonants to the left and all the vowels to the right, then you're using doobulsik. The keys are split into two sets.
With sebulsik, syllable-initial consonants are to the right, and syllable-final consonants and syllable-final consonant-clusters are to the left. The vowels are roughly in the middle. The keys are split into three sets.
Sebulsik is very rare, even in Korea. It's a pity. Sebulsik is nice because It's definitely more comfortable, and you can type much faster with it. Some people can manage one thousand keypresses a minute with sebulsik.
If you've just started typing in Korean, I suggest you switch to sebulsik right away. : )

The one on the top is sebulsik-final. The one on the bottom is doobulsik.

True, but an ergonomic layout or input method can be really helpful. I switched to sebulsik because of wrist pains. I haven't had any pain for five years.

Seems that I was using the doobulsik IME
Well, I started learning Korean only a few weeks ago but (slowly) I am getting a grip of it 
Korean seems to be quite difficult but on the other hand it's a very nice language, especially the writing system 
I think I will continue using doobulsik (as it is predominant)
Thanks for your help
