I switched over to model Ms exclusively around 1994 and all of my hand pain
went away. The tactile (and audible) feedback stopped me from pressing down
too hard on the keys; I was (subconsciously) never sure if my keystrokes were
registering or not with "mushy" keyboards.
At work, I use the model m variant with the trackpoint in the middle of the
keyboard (cable ends in both PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse connectors) -- my
hands *never leave the keyboard* and I just love it!
The only reason I have an external pointing device at home is to play games.
