slow typing speed and more errors
The "opposite" of a QWERTY keyboard would be not having a keyboard. There are several styles available for computer keyboards, none of which are "opposites" of either QWERTY or each other. They are simply different arrangements of keys. Alternatives include Dvorak, AZERTY, and QWERTZ.
The Dvorak simplified keyboard is the other alternative keyboard to the Qwerty. The Qwerty is the most widely used. See the related link for further information.

Qwerty is the most common keyboard layout
The inventor of the most widely used keyboard layout, the QWERTY keyboard, was Christopher Sholes. The inventor of the highly efficient Dvorak keyboard was Dr. August Dvorak.

yes Strictly, there is no such type of computer called a QWERTY. But the QWERTY keyboard design is not the only one, in fact, it is one of the least efficient types of keyboard design. It was designed so that original mechanical typewriters could keep up with human speeds, it in fact, slows down typing, it is designed so that all the vowels are placed all around the keyboard so that it takes longer to reach them. The other popular, more efficient design of keyboard is known as the Dvorak- it places the letters in the most efficient places for the human fingers. http://www.chimoosoft.com/Images/dvorak/dvorak.jpg - is a reasonable picture of the Dvorak. There are numerous other keyboard designs, but the Dvorak is the most popular.
Dvorak refers to a simplified keyboard layout designed to increase typing efficiency by placing the most commonly used keys in optimal positions. Named after its creator, Dr. August Dvorak, this alternative layout aims to reduce muscle strain and increase typing speed compared to the traditional QWERTY layout.
The layout actually works out easier to type on. Having all the letters in alphabetic order would have no real advantage when it comes to typing. There are other variations of the QWERTY keyboard, such as the Dvorak, but the QWERTY is the most common one.
letter placement on keyboard QWERTY was simply laid out to reduce probability of hammer clashes. Dvorak was laid out to put most frequently used letters on keys under strongest fingers.
There are three patterns I know about, Azerty, Qwerty, and Dvorak, are close together (well, atleast Azerty and Qwerty) Azerty and Qwerty are practically the same. The only difference is that on a Azerty keyboard Azerty are the letters available to type on the top row on the left side, where as for Qwerty , Qwerty is the available to type in on the top right section. In Qwerty A and Z are right next to the caps lock and the (left) shift key. In Azerty Q is next to the bottom left shift key and W is next to the ,/< key. In Dvorak the five vowels are on the left side of the keyboard on the middle row and the five most commonly used consonants are on the left side. The ,/< , ./> and / or ? is on the upper left corner.
The most used key on a keyboard is probably the space key... the vowels of the alphabet are also frequently used.
