Title: Okaaayyy

I've been using this M10 for less than a week, and for the first time in my life I'm getting shooting pain in my wrists.

Guess that's a "no".

Seriously, if Unicomp would just make an 87-key Model M, there wouldn't even be a discussion.  Since I doubt that's going to happen this decade, I guess it's either Customizer, SpaceSaver or getting ripped off on ebay for me.

If you're gonna sell it put it on the marketplace first, I might be interested.

If it comes to that.  Family is going to get first dibs on it, and given that two or three of them are currently on Apple keyboards, I'm not sure it's going to last that long.

I didnt have pains with the M10 but I did find it way too light. Endurapro or alps for me. Meaty boards. Makes me feel alive and productive.

maybe the pains are from bottoming out?

At home, I was using a craptastic Razer board.  At work I use two Model Ms.

I'm typing this on an IBM SK-8806 (rubber dome, USB, compact layout).  It's alot more comfortable than the M10 for me :-(

maybe its the keyboard height? Do you use a wrist rest?
