Thanks for all the ideas. I ended up buying one myself, and after some adjustments and time getting used to the keyboard, the problem is gone. My mother still has an issue, but this is because her desk is bad--she's working on getting a new one.

On a completely unrelated note, does anyone have experience programming with the Kinesis? The inconvenient position of the bracket keys is extremely annoying, and yet I can't find any other keys that would be better to swap them with.
