For visual search I would disregard keyboards entirely and go alphabetical:

I tried to eye out "Batmobile" and had a surprisingly hard time compared to Colemak or QWERTY layouts. (I tested by making fake layouts in Photoshop.)

The issue being that while I can certainly find the letters when they are alphabetical - clusters of commonly used letters are further apart. Having "th" and "ng" visually close to each other aids a lot.

Arranged in a clock face perhaps?

Something like the radial keyboard used in Steam's big picture mode could be really useful here. It would reduce potential error surface by quite a bit.

Good idea, it would make a more memorable position for every letter.
