I use softer keycaps, some are resin! I also have the back propped up like you mentioned with the built in lifts. I also have carpel tunnel so I don't want to cram my hands into a small space and it's OK to be slow sometimes. And a good wrist rest is key.
Ah hah!
Yeah, there are some ergo keyboards that have that "reverse tilt" built in. They're aimed more at being easier on the wrist than at trying to permit for long nails, but they do exist.
e.g.:

That'd be an argument for a keyboard, like, a mechanical one where you don't bottom out the keys on press, and then training yourself to not bottom them out, which is a big argument mechanical keyboard fans have for theirs versus rubber dome keyboards. And you need a fair bit of key travel for that, yeah. Hmm.
I've convinced some if my girlfriends to switch as they have white versions and Blackwidows are fairly cheap on Ebay (£50-75). :) They like them as they're heavy writers.
