You could basically have half the keyboard located on the front of
each bicep. That way when you type, the kays would be in about the same
position that they would normally be on an ergonomic keyboard.  Each half
could wrap about 1/3 the way around the bicep which would allow people to
touch type semi normally and would allow the hands to be completely free
for doing other tasks.
