I've actually never had any serious problems with my wrists, and sometimes I think that starting playing piano as a young kid, along with my guitar today, and with regular trips to the swimming pool and daily bike commute, helps keeping my wrists strong and pain free.
I've been using a kinesis freestyle keyboard for about a year, and before that a series of regular chepo 102 keys, but the possibility of having my hands apart a longer distance keeps my wrists more relaxed and overall I get a better body posture.
I think most of the problems other people have come from the latter: my elbows are on top of the table, which means my keyboard is farther away than what I see other people using and so I'm in a very relaxed position. The ubiquity of laptop's small keyboards certainly doesn't help either.
