The key is to keep the wrist straight with the forearm. While typing doesn't place a lot of stress on a wrist, the ergonomic keyboards with a palm rest can help keep the wrist straighter this in turn reduces wrist stress.
One beauty to a keyboard and touch pad combo is that the keyboard can then be placed in the lap. This allows one to get further away from the monitor and helps improve overall body position as shoulders can be relaxed. Also I find that I tend to use the touch pad using either hand equally. Sometimes there isn't much rhyme or reason as to which hand I use to control the touch pad at any moment in time.
