I bought a TouchStream keyboard and could recommend it - but unfortunately they are out of business. But I can share some other advice: go to a physiotherapist and let him show you some exercises for the back. My problems (both lower arms) stemmed from my back - even though that seems a bit strange at first. By doing my exercises regularly I was able to reduce the pain significantly, and could start working with normal keyboards again (as my notebook has no touch stream).
