It sounds to me like you just need to stop deviating your wrists and
force yourself to use your arm. A pair of those spiffy bowling glove
things would be just the trick. (There is a good Get Fuzzy strip about
this, but I can't find it)

I've used a natural keyboard for 10 years, and I think they're great.
Microsoft have always made good keyboards and mices.
