The key to success with Org mode (or even Emacs in general) is to start off with the simplest configuration and use the default settings. Then change the defaults to your liking and if there is some aspect you want to configure that can't be achieved by a particular setting or Org itself then search online for how to do it. Most likely someone else wanted the same configuration and may have written a package to provide that functionality. There is a whole plethora of packages which enhance Org mode (e.g. see org-gtd - this is still a beta package and I've made some minor contributions). If you are ever stuck just drop into r/orgmode or r/emacs - both communities are very helpful.
I moved to an ergo keyboard, with colemak mod-DH key layout, customized for my coding and emacs needs. For hardware, I specifically use a corne keyboard, though there are many many other options which would allow for similar use. The primary goal is a more ergonomic layout accounting for natural finger movement (vertical columns with minimized horizontal movement), hand shape, and a key/letter layout which also minimizes unnatural movement (again - horizontal) and movement in general.
I took a lot of motivation from http://thedarnedestthing.com/planck%20constant and https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku
You probably need a mechanical keyboard running QMK or similar to achieve the level of customization I'm talking about, though there may be programs/apps in computers that allow for this.
