So you realized that your typing surface is too high. You have 2 options:
1. Lower your typing surface.
2. Raise your seat.
#1 can be handled with a clamp-on keyboard tray (get one with negative tilt), and for #2, try a drafting stool (don't buy until you sit on it yourself).
I had the same problem. For my office, I have both the tray and the stool, and for my home office, I just have a normal chair + a rolling adjustable desk surface that goes low enough to be used as a typing surface.
I also use a split keyboard (Kinesis makes great ones) and I'm in the market for a vertical mouse right now.
Don't listen to the people who say ergonomics is all bullshit and you just need to stand up (or exercise or whatever). Your equipment makes a difference.
