See Why The Qwerty Keyboard Is Not Arranged Alphabetically by Pr0ton: 7:28am On Feb 10, 2016 |
The QWERTY layout was devised and created in the early 1870s by Christopher Latham Sholes, a newspaper editor and printer who lived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In October 1867, Sholes filed a patent application for his early writing machine he developed with the assistance of his friends Carlos Glidden and Samuel W. Soulé. The first model constructed by Sholes used a piano-like keyboard with two rows of characters arranged alphabetically as follows: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTY?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C2279033909 19 Likes 1 Share |

The key pad is called "qwerty" keypad because the first 6 letters from the first row is "QWERTY"... Seriously that keypad is the best, it would have been quite slow and boring if they were in alphabetical order.. 45 Likes 5 Shares |

You type slowly because you probably did not learn typing. Using a PC and typing are two different things. If you learn typing for one month, you will be amazed at how fast you will start typing. Dekatron: |
