Keyboard ergonomics is mostly contributed by factors other than the layout. Switching to a different layout has a lot of complications: - Steep learning curve: it might take months or even years to reach typing speeds of QWERTY - Low software support: it's tricky to switch to a custom layout everywhere Some apps and games might read physical keycodes and the only workaround is to use the keyboard with custom firmware (e.g. QMK[1]) If you're willing to improve keyboard ergonomics, check out ergonomic mechanical keyboards. Most popular row-staggered layout is horrible for hand ergonomics and it only can be fixed with a keyboard that has a different physical key layout. r/ErgoMechKeyboards[2] is a good starting point.
