I realise you're really interested in physical keyboards, but as an
aside: in the handheld world of skinnable virtual keyboards this kind
of thing is easy. In fact it's so easy that I've done it, for my PalmOS
machine.
Specifically, I've written an ABC overlay for the VirtualKB keyboard
manager, giving you two rows of keys C..B and c..b plus other abc
symbols. It's free, and available from

Caveat: VirtualKB is a hack, so doesn't work on my spiffy new Sony
Clie running PalmOS 5 8-(. I'm investigating alternatives ...
