I'm not sure if I understand your problem correctly, but . . .
1) I think that the most common English keyboards which come with
DOS/V PCs are annoying if used with vi and emacs because the
ESC key is far above and the Ctrl key is far below.
2) There are keyboards with the Ctrl key to the left of the
"A" key and the ESC key to the left of the "1/!" key,
such as the one I use (Happy Hacking Keyboard).
3) It is possible to change key-layouts "software-wise".
For example, when I have to use the annoying PC keyboard,
I exchange Ctrl with Caps. I don't physically replace the
plastic pieces, but install a piece of software or make a
software arrangement so that the physical Caps key functions
as a Ctrl key.
Regards,
Ryo
