I stopped using the QWERTY keyboard layout 20 years ago.

The ubiquitous QWERTY keyboard is an anti-design. It was deliberately designed to slow down the input speed of the human operator to prevent a mechanical typewriter from jamming.

I use the Dvorak layout, created by August Dvorak and funded by the US Navy. The amount of motion required to type on a Dvorak keyboard is minimized. For example, the most common letters are on the home row (AOEUHTNS). It also increases opportunities for bi-manual coordination by assigning letters that most commonly go in sequence to opposite hands (e.g., vowels on the left, consonants on the right). 

On QWERTY, hundreds of common English words must be typed entirely with the fingers of the left hand, which is slow and laborious. On Dvorak, virtually no words can be typed using a single hand, left or right.

I can type 100 words per minute with significantly less "clacking" noise than someone typing QWERTY at the same speed. My fingers barely move to achieve this. I use regular keyboards but reprogram the mapping in software. I don't care what the keys say since I don't look at them. 

I learned Dvorak by taping a picture of the keyboard to the wall over my monitor. After writing two or three college papers, I developed full touch typing fluency. I like that the keys don't have the correct letter printing because looking at them slows you down and causes typos. There is no benefit to having letters printed on a keyboard. It's another example of an anti-design.

Another modern alternative to QWERTY is the Colemak layout. It is less difficult to adapt to Colemak because most of the keys are in the same place as QWERTY, and the standard copy-cut-past CXV shortcut keys remain in the same position. Colmak is a solid alternative.

Maybe keyboards will disappear, and voice interfaces and AI writing assistants will take over. Either way, QWERTY deserves to be relegated to the past.
