The QWERTY-type keyboard is a dated relic, especially in the electronic era, where there aren't physical mechanisms to jam because you pushed the buttons too quickly.
This is particularly applicable to touch screens, where the format is particularly ill-suited, and ought to be replaced by something more suitable and intuitive.
I keep wanting to learn Dvorak but I'm just already so fast and accurate with QWERTY.
Yeah it just doesn't seem worth it when every keyboard one encounters outside of home will be qwerty.
I tried years ago and got up to about 25wpm on Dvorak before switching back. it was seeming like the juice wouldn't be worth the squeeze
