    And this is why the Dvorak keyboard was invented. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_Simplified_Keyboard

    Incidentally, it doesn’t take that long to get used to. If you can stick with it for a couple of months, you’ll be back up to your old speed, then surpass it.

      It’s been thoroughly debunked that a Dvorak keyboard is more efficient than a QWERTY keyboard. The speed increases Dvorak supporters point to are nothing more than a myth. If you can “stick with it for a couple of months” all you would have succeeded in doing is waste a couple of months learning something with no benefit over what you knew already.

    Could someone please explain why most of the most frequently used letters are at the left-hand side of the keyboard? Was the person who developed the qwerty keyboard left-handed?
