    The QWERTY-type keyboard is a dated relic, especially in the electronic era, where there aren’t physical mechanisms to jam because you pushed the buttons too quickly.

    This is particularly applicable to touch screens, where the format is particularly ill-suited, and ought to be replaced by something more suitable and intuitive.

      I keep wanting to learn Dvorak but I’m just already so fast and accurate with QWERTY.

        Yeah it just doesn’t seem worth it when every keyboard one encounters outside of home will be qwerty.

        I tried years ago and got up to about 25wpm on Dvorak before switching back. it was seeming like the juice wouldn’t be worth the squeeze

        Learning an entire new layout isn’t as hard as it sounds. I just went cold turkey one day and changed all my devices over to Dvorak and it took me about a week to be comfortable and maybe after a month I was faster than I was on QWERTY. It’s so much faster learning to type once you’re already fast at another layout.

          I didn’t go cold turkey but made myself stick with Dvorak in mIRC. I was competent with Dvorak within a couple of weeks and then switched everything with actual typing to Dvorak within a month or two while using qwerty for things where I just wanted to type before that.

          At this point (some 20 years later), typing with qwerty takes concentration but Dvorak is so comfortable.

          That was with a qwerty layout keyboard just changing the layout in software and using an image on my 2nd monitor as a guide that I needed for maybe a couple of weeks. I also did drilling with typing games. Programming symbols took the longest to get used to. I still haven’t gotten an actual Dvorak layout keyboard (which does make it easier when I do need to use qwerty).
