I agree that that's a possibility, but if you were to use a PCB with the Pico, keyboard and display on it you could make it smaller and more rugged - and get rid of a third party keyboard scanner.
Another possibility, which you may have tried, is to ditch the mechanical keyboard and run the display in portrait mode with an on-screen keypad with drop-down menus for lesser-used functions and settings. You may want to look for a wider display in this instance. It might be possible to keep the keypad on-screen in portrait mode.
Just a thought. :)
