I use this, it's 180. If your job involves using a computer all day, there's no reason you should be on QWERTY.

nicely done friend, but most of us are stuck with 20-40 years of muscle memory from QWERTY bullshit now. it's too late.

Fair enough, I was a weird kid and learned this when I was a 14 year old shithead. I can switch back to qwerty if I need to but it feels awful. I don't know how you people live like that.

QWERTY is literally designed to be inefficient, because hitting two keys close to each other would jam the typewriter. It was also designed so that TYPEWRITER can be typed using only the top row, which was a sales trick used by the chad typewriter salesman. There is no reason to be using it today unless you are using an actual typewriter.

? You can type TYPEWRITER with just the top row of a qwerty keyboard. That doesn't mean you need to use every letter in the top row to type TYPEWRITER.

I feel like having it not line up means I don't think of the keyboard in terms of the alphabet but just in terms of motions and that is actually more efficient than trying to think of a letter in its particular order

The reason the dood invented it that way was so that he could type the whole word "typewriter" using only the top row of keys. It was a marketing gimmick.
