Before QWERTY there was no such specific layout of the keyboard, different persons use their own layout as per their need, but due to the huge sale in Remington typewriters, the whole world was introduced to QWERTY keyboards. Remington was a huge brand at that time, and it invested a huge amount in advertising its product. A company Remington which was the first typewriter manufacturer in 1876, release the QWERTY layout in all of their typewriters. The first typewriter was patented in 1868 by Americans Christopher Latham Sholes, this brought the era of typing and thus create a need to have a keyboard. Before the release of typewriters, there was no such trend of typing was there among people. It is not at all efficient for long and fast typing, the orientation of the key of the QWERTY keyboard is very unorganized and the most commonly used key is spread randomly, generating a lot of error during typing, slowing down the speed for typing letters from the top and bottom row of the keyboard.Įven after knowing the demerits and inefficiency of the QWERTY keyboard, It brings us to the question of why the world is still using the QWERTY keyword.

But is also true that QWERTY design is one of the worst possible arrangements of keys a keyboard can have. QWERTY layout is the first layout of any keyboard and is still most commonly used.
