I have two suggestions, and they come from low vision
as well as knowing the choices.  I like the
ergonomic/split keyboard.  Like microsoft.  The
distinctive shape lets you find things by feel.  I
graduated second in my class because I was no good at
typing.

My second suggestion is to look at large labels for
keeps.  I saw one in trc.org (Technology Resource
Center, Dayton, Ohio).  It may have been done for the
braille labels *which are NOT good for low vision) but
I marvelled how the letters jumped out at me.

Note:  did you know that NAVH is known for "low
vision" assistance and not geared to total blindness
only.
