> So that an inflammation doesn’t worsen.

I feel that. It seems like you've found something that works for you, but if you're ever looking to change up your setup, I've got some keyboards that are helpful to me. I'm attached to a certain pricey brand (and they're awesome and I wholeheartedly endorse them), but you can find some cheaper alternatives as well that are similar. (They're also open hardware, so you could build them if you're so inclined.)

I have a Keyboard.io Atreus. It's very small, it has 44 keys. You don't move your hands to type, they just stay where they are and only your fingers move. The downside is that, to make up for the lack of keys, you've gotta use several layers with modifier keys (eg I have 3).

I've also got a split keyboard (Keyboard.io Model 100). Each side can be positioned independently, and they're hooked together by an Ethernet chord. So you could get a similar set up to what you have now.

The other things that were important for me are a vertical mouse (Logitech MX Pro Vertical), and a gaming mousepad, and additional padding for my chair's armrests.

Obligatory reminder that everyone using a computer all day should make sure to put some effort into ergonomics and not developing an RSI.
