If any of what he said rings true to you, you might be interested in a Kinesis Advantage keyboard. All modifier keys are under your thumbs at all times, as are Enter, Space, and Backspace. Arrow keys are horizontally arranged under your two dominant fingers on each hand:

Every key is hardware-remappable, and Escape is reachable with your middle finger. I've mapped F1 to "Escape-:" to get me a vim command prompt in one keystroke.
