Why exactly do we still use qwerty style keyboards? We don’t use typewriters anymore.

Question

I honestly don’t get why the heck we use this stupid layout… please somebody help me understand.

Answer 1

It isn’t a question of “stupid” layout. All of the most commonly used letters are close together. Less commonly used letters are further apart. Plus you have inertia.

And, lastly, of course is the real question: *What do you replace it with that is objectively better?* if you can make an objectively better design, you’ll likely be a very rich individual.
