An old legend says that it makes the typing easier.

The letters were then arranged in such a way that the type wheel had to turn as little as possible for most words. Of course, this depends on the language, hence the difference QWERTY  QWERTZ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, special characters have to be accommodated for many languages. Because this is not optimally comfortable for the hands, new ergonomic formats such as Dvorak have been invented. However, many people have become accustomed to the old typewriter layouts, which is why they are still very common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/byte-challenge.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BG_Keyboard-Layouts.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/byte-challenge.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BG_Keyboard-Layouts.png 1080w, https:\/\/byte-challenge.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BG_Keyboard-Layouts-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/byte-challenge.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BG_Keyboard-Layouts-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/byte-challenge.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BG_Keyboard-Layouts-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/byte-challenge.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BG_Keyboard-Layouts-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/byte-challenge.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BG_Keyboard-Layouts-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/byte-challenge.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BG_Keyboard-Layouts-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/byte-challenge.de\/en\/blog\/\">Back<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why do computer keyboards have this strange arrangement?
