Kudos for effort. But changing layout is not enough.

Current mainstream keyboards design is fundamentally flawed [1] and IMO obsolete because of [4].

Hopefully there is science [2] and much alternatives to choose from [3]

You can turn a few of those alternatives to vertical. I've been using a QWERTY vertical keyboard since 2009 and which I had some wrist pains before, not since.

The first link references the myth of QWERTY being meant for slowing typists down. It merely spreads most common letters out so them being pressed together doesn't jam the typewriter.
