Why are the keyboard letters set up the way they are?
The QWERTY keyboard layout has its origins in the old mechanical typewriters. The early typewriter manufacturers experimented with many different layouts, indeed some of the first typewriters just had a single row of keys with A to Z all in order. As typists became more proficient and typing speeds increased, jamming of the mechanisms became a large problem. The QWERTY layout was developed to scatter the most-used keys widely across the keyboard thereby reducing the number of jams and allowing typists to type even faster. Later on, when technology reduced this need, the QWERTY layout survived solely by the sheer number of typists already trained in its use. Other keyboard layouts such as DVORAK have been developed in an effort to find something which is more efficient with modern hardware, but QWERTY is still vastly more common and does not show any signs of going away any time soon.

What are some advantages of the keyboard?
The most important advantage is that the Dvorak keyboard was designed to help typists type faster, as the standard QWERTY keyboard was designed to slow typists down so that the typewriters wouldn't get stuck. These are some of the design advantages: - Commonly typed letters are slightly shifted so that the majority of the typing is done by the right hand. The QWERTY keyboard has it so that the left hand has to move slightly more. It helps because most people are right-handed. - The most common letters (H, G, B, P, U, K, E, T are just a few) are placed either near or on the home row, requiring less movement. Other common letters such as S are placed near the sides so that they are also easy to get to. - Awkward strokes (Such as the word Minimum) that require excessive jumping between rows and back rarely occur on the Dvorak keyboard because it was designed to prevent just that. The advantages aren't unknown. Barbara Blackburn, the fastest English typist in the world, also uses a Dvorak Keyboard.
