Perhaps its more about what people like than actual ergonomics?
I mean, look at this monstrosity there is a reason things like that aren’t common. If a majority of people want a keyboard angled towards them, thats what they are going to sell.

I found this. But it’s 300 dollars. 😅

I swapped to Dvorak because I was getting pains in my wrist if I typed for too long. The pain didn’t completely go away just from swapping but it is definitely so much better. I didn’t find it too difficult on my right pinky or anything. If you’re typing English, all the common letters are in much easier patterns. Once you get used to them it feels so much better typing with this layout. I would definitely recommend it. The other thing to try if you’re having pains like I was is an alternate keyboard. I swapped to this:

Using that keyboard and the swap to Dvorak has completely stopped any pain I was getting. Definitely worth the cash for it I think!

It’s a Kinesis Advantage, I own one

Typing with a pen on a virtual keyboard sounds slow, I’d be looking into an ergonomic split keyboard or a chorded keyboard instead.
For typing with a pen, your best bet is the Microsoft touch keyboard. It has SwiftKey/swipe-based typing which I reckon is as fast as you can type with a pen. No idea how to keep it visible at all times.
But hey, since you’re a software developer maybe you’d be motivated to hack Windows so the touch keyboard is always visible.

They should make note of this feature on the Amazon page for it.
