You guys should really look into building custom keyboards rather than
trying to beat whatever is offered on the market into shape using
software solutions. At least two fully Free keyboard firmwares are
available (QMK for wired keyboards, ZMK for Bluetooth) and you will be
able to put whichever keys you want, wherever is comfortable for you.

For an Emacs user, it really pays off to design a board with many
thumb keys and put all the modifiers there. You also have the option
to program certain keys with one function when quickly pressed and
released, another when held, e.g. combine Space and Super.
