I also credit straight-wrist typing with having not developed any keyboard-related RSI symptoms over 33 years. (Mice, on the other hand! Gripping a mouse started to cause me crazy wrist pain 20 years ago. Been using a trackball ever since.)
Opposite to you though, I find "desktop" keys (or I should say, keys with travel) preferable to "laptop" keys. Bottoming out each key on every stroke on a Macbook for years started giving me weird typing-spelling issues (some sort of precursor to focal dystonia? dunno). Keys with long travel prevent that for me. (Or maybe it's just because that's what I learned on – Apple //e keyboard.)
