Story behind the Keyboard keys





Millions of people are using QWERTY keyboards in our Pc, Laptop and mobile.

But have you ever think that why the keys in keyboard are not arranged alphabetically?

The original typewriter was designed alphabetically but the original typewriter was mechanically slower so it was replaced by QWERTY Keyboard.  The QWERTY Keyboard was designed as per old typewriter keyboard. Logic behind the QWERTY design was based on the letter using in English rather than letter position in alphabets.

What will be the problem you may face if all keys will be arranged alphabetically?

While typing very fast you may stuck while pressing 2 close keys and your typing speed can be break. Hence Qwerty keyboard keep commonly used words together away from each other to avoid jamming.

If you are still confused then you can try it practically.
