In the vid you posted the keys are very quiet compared to the vocals.
Even like that most people don't think it's bad

I would put the piano in stereo then vocal bang in the middle with a stereo verb on the vocal.

My Trading Feedback | You Bring The Band
Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youYou could try pointing the mic at more of an angle away from the keyboard. Even lift your seat so you're further away. You might need to adjust a bit.
Maybe move away from walls/reflective surfaces. Strategically positioned cushions and rugs etc.
You may also just need to practice projecting your voice more and clunking your keys less
Signal gain, getting that right (not necessarily max gain before distortion) will assist.
Equalisation, you might notch a select frequency with a parametric filter.
Environment, Placing the problematic keyboard on a padded non reflective surface. Try a carpet remnant or some such.
The rule of physical gain. Halve the distance = double the gain, or double the distance = half the gain. In other words have to mic of choice as close to the mouth/sound source as possible and as far as reasonably away from the undesirable sound source. Using a directional mic and pointing the 'dead zone' at the problematic source will also help.
Remember no single step will cure the issue, but a combination of these things (you need to experiment, one thing at a time to optimise), will likely result in huge improvements. Don't always assume technology will dig you out. The hit recordings from the Motown studio of the 60s were made all in one room, brass and all. They didn't even have an isolation booth at first for the singer(s) or drum kit until a couple of years in.
I forget whether the OP has access to any posher microphones. A figure-of-eight pick up pattern might help but it would cost rather too much.
For a solo performance, the solution might be to have monitor loudspeakers running in the room positioned as if for a stage performance. Allow all of the audio signals to spill into each other, disguising the keyboard noises.
Good point. The OP does sing quietly. He probably compensates for this by piling on the input gain and/or compression. Either of these will raise the noise floor.
