Well I would say that it looks weird, but so does qwerty if youve never seen it before. Why dont the just write out the alphabet in order? or is it sposed to put the commonist letters in handy (no pun intended) places?

I think ill stick to what I know. :nod:

The QWERTY arrangement is purely for the convenience of the typewriter, not for the typer. That's why someone thought of Dvorak. But I think it's too late. I'm too deep in QWERTY. Anyone suggest Dvorak, I'll beat them up...

The current QWERTY keyboard was designed in 1872 for two fingered "hunt and peck" typists. But it became the standard and has survived to the 21st Century basically unchanged.
August Dvorak invented the Simplified Keyboard (as he called it) in 1932 as a result of exhaustive time and motion studies. The Dvorak Keyboard (as the Simplified Keyboard is now known) has been only marginally necessary until the widespread use of computers.
Now, Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI) are a major factor for anyone who spends even a few hours a day working with a keyboard. The Dvorak Layout reduces finger movement by more than an order of magnitude (10 times), and hence is "just what the doctor ordered" for those suffering RSI. Users of the Dvorak Keyboard may be faster and make fewer errors than an equally qualified QWERTY typist, but most importantly, stress on the fingers, hands and wrists is greatly reduced.

I found that on a google search.
