If you're asking this question, it's because you're not satisfied or completely satisfied with the way you enter the notes? :)
So what's your current way of doing things?

I am currently typing notes using a computer keyboard. however, I cannot say that this is an easy way. mouse input is also quite time-consuming from my point of view. Maybe a midi keyboard is the solution? but what about switching the durations of the entered notes? will it still have to be done using a computer? I mean the step-by-step input of notes, not the real-time playing.

It is indeed the fastest way.
Why do you say it's not an easy way? What's bothering you, or seems difficult, or slows you down?

Left hand on letter keys to select pitch. Right hand on num keypad to select duration. It is possible to enter notes by touch typing with a little practice.
Back to the start to enter dynamics, text and articulations on a second pass or perhaps do that in two passes. One for dynamics and text, one for articulations.

I do it with opposite hands: left hand on numbers (at top of typewriter keyboard), right hand on letters. But otherwise the same. Basically touch typing the notes and then one or two passes for the rest.
