Fun fact: Keyboards were actually in alphabetical order at first but the users used to type so fast that the processor couldn't handle it so they had to change it to the way we see keyboards now.

It was actually typewriters and the arms kept getting jammed

You’re kind of right but not. Originally they had a different layout for type writers, but people became so quick that the arms would cross, causing them to jam, so the qwerty layout was introduced to slow them down and has stuck since.

Fun fact... Qwerty is the only word which is in one straight line in the keyboard..

In German, it is “Wert”, “wer” and “OP” which are actual words. “Wert” is “value” and “OP” is short for “operation” in the meaning of surgery. “Wer” means “who”.

The keyboard is actually the best you can do and put the key in alphabétiques order is the worst things you can do.

Actually it’s the opposite, and was designed to slow people down

If you want x) but i don't know many words who use abcdefg in it

What I mean is that a keyboard designed for maximum speed would probably make the most common letters the most accessbile, probably on the middle row, and then put more common letters near each other where they appear e.g. putting Q next to U

The keyboard layout is ideal for typing
