I actually had trouble finding something for my keyboard. I use a "gaming" (ugh, I hate that label) keyboard that's quite wide, but I'm not willing to give up the macro keys for something smaller.
I finally realized a shoe shelf would do it. I think I paid $20 CAD for it. I think it's half the price in the US. It looks as cheap as it costs though. Originally I thought it would be a stepping stone to a Varidesk, but now I realize I can get away with a stand-only setup if I just got a stool.
FWIW, I just bought the stool a couple of weeks ago, so it took me around a year of standing to pull the trigger.
I've been looking at chairs for a while, but like you said, they can get expensive (I had my eye on the Humanscale Pony Saddle [1]). I don't sit for long periods of time on the stool, just here and there to take the weight off.
At $60 CAD, I figured the Ikea Nilserik was probably a low risk purchase compared to something >= 2X the price. You obviously get what you pay for, but if you're not planning to sit most of the time, it works out fine.
