When i eat behind my desk i sometimes move the keyboard on the hdmi box in front of me, and i feel it might type a bit more relaxed, but it isn't steady enough, the front is still on the desk but i would want the back more up (so a bigger angle) then it's legs would allow me.
I am guessing noone made some standard for it or something?

Make something out of cardboard.
It can be surprisingly sturdy.
Either flat pieces like a mat for the back or longer feet.

If you want a temporary and cheap solution then use two erasers, otherwise there are stands like these which you can stick to the keyboard. There is also this stand which I've used for my laptop, but you might also be able to use it with your keyboard.

Put a small book or a TV newspaper or something like this under it at the part that should be lifted.
Or whatever else fits and is available.

Of course only if you don't have skills and/or don't want to spend money.

If there are standards or options for it reasonably priced i wouldn't object paying for it, just don't know if they exist.
Apparently for laptops atleast, i think noone really thought about a pc keyboard.

Google for "wedge rubber door stop" those might be useful?

Is the table adjustable? I don't mean electronic, maybe there are screws.
Also check chair and screen height.

I put my keyboard on a large chessboard in it's cardboard box.

It's just a simple 30 year old wooden desk.

The monitor isn't adjustable at all (also a tiny 27 inch one) and the chair is in a 90 degree angle, it has this cushion in my back i wish they would had an option to remove it though, can't force myself to cut it off with a 250 euro chair, not that it's prestine anymore since the cat had it's claws into it.

I have 2 different keyboards, a full size and a 65% one. I have attachable risers on both, in 2 different styles. One is a long bar, the other is 2 separate little feet with more flexibility in placement and both work great. They each have 3 levels of height and even the lowest one is higher than the standard feet on either of my keyboards. You just press it to the top back of the keyboard via the sticky pads they come with and forget its even there. They are removeable and reattachable.

I crafted something for mine as well as mentioned above and used it for years and even so, eventually buying something meant to do the job was a huge improvement in typing comfort.

In both cases I knew the most important thing would be multiple heights so I wouldn't be stuck with one position since I have a form of tendonitis and might have found one position much more comfortable. But I was pleased to discover how useful it is to be able to switch it up as needed depending on what I'm doing at any given time (I move my keyboard back a lot too so I can use the workspace for art and when I do, its nice to raise it up even higher).

I got the one with the bar first and I love it, but I knew it wouldn't fit well on my smaller new keyboard so I took a chance on the separate pieces and even those are far sturdier than expected.

Thanks, yeah you need to have the option to feel what the right height is for yourself.

Thanks i think so if they are higher then the average legs of an average keyboard, but it looks like it.

Thanks, now that actually looks decent, sturdy and high enough.

Hey Lugum, you could maybe 3d print it, or have someone print it for you, there are dozens of designs but reading that you'd prefer one adjusted to your needs I think it's very doable, that is in case the already available models dont suit you. If interested I'd look for those on printables, or thangs which is sorta a search engine that checks several sites. As for material strengh, temp resistances, minimum it'd be petg, but it's better in abs or something nice and sturdy that lasts you a long time. Prototyping is okay in PLA but might be brittle.
Now if you prefer already made products then you have a few here already by the comments.
Also, the cheapest option it'd be something like a rubber bar, so it does not slip in your desk when pushed, plus firm enough to support the kb. just my 2 cents :P
Happy New Year!

I figured a 3d printer but i wouldn't know 1 person or a place that has one.

oh? even where I live there are a few places (albeit quite expensive for me) they offer printing services, I suppose surely on developed countries there should be one if they are here I mean :P
Still, one can sometimes read/see horror stories of the results of such printed figures, the victims formerly clients got sorta ripped off by such poor quality jobs, so it's also a hassle to find one and a good one at that, too.
Well I guess you can still order one, hopefully you'll find an adequate solution friend.

We can discuss if we are still a developed country.

And ordering a very expensive piece of equipment (which i don't have) just for this seems a bit much. ;)

Thanks well some already offered a viable amazon solution.

My keyboard has these little "flaps" you can use to lift your butt, I mean, the keyboard's butt. I imagine you have those up, and want up.... er?

Edit: oh, "legs would allow", I see. Nevermind me.

this is what i did, doesnt work on all of them. the larger ones can be bent to get the perfect angle and they stay on the keyboard

Hmm i got some of those, didn't think of that, thanks. But is it sturdy enough, like it wouldn't bend?

Home Depot will cut wood bought there to any size. There's probably a store equivalent wherever you live. Seems like a job for a simple 2x12 plank. Maybe two of them. :)
