A 3-dimensional keyboard design

Here is an interesting paper from the Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan, 2016:
A method for using one finger to press three separate keys on a three-dimensional keyboard

Looks like you'd be limited to 3 "rows", also, other hardware limitations, switches soft enough to not mess up your joints on the long run and small enough to be implemented to work with such design

The upper row would have to be adjustable somehow, so people with smaller hands could press a switche on the bottom row without pressing the top one too.

The high key looks pretty ick, but the other two are good. For a third key, the best is to locate the top roughly where the fingertip is in the first image.
For a practical implementation of this idea (that never quite made it as as commercial product), see the DataStealth,
