I've been on the lookout for a partial keyboard for my left hand for gaming;

Recently, I started trying to play Helldivers 2 online with some family members but find on my mechanical keyboard that I get hand cramp very quickly, most of the keys needed are in bottom-left of the keyboard and I have big hands, and my keys take a lot more pressure than is ideal for gaming.

I bought a Razer Tartarus Pro but found it was basically useless on Linux.

Does anyone here have any suggestions of something that I could use? I tried to use a controller to see if that would help, but no matter what I did I couldn't get any controller (PS5, XBox One S, Switch Pro) to actual provide input to the game under Proton despite working fine in other games.

I'm playing on Steam/Proton on CachyOS.

Try swapping the switches on your keyboard if it allows it? Or try a keyboard with a different layout?

My first mechanical keyboard had cherry mx brown which felt stiff, loud and not too comfortable to type on for long periods of time. I got a pad to try out all kinds of switches and ultimately moved to a split keyboard with kalih silent pink.
