Your right.
Actually the keys are layed out the way they are because a hundred yrs ago with a mech keyboard the key came up and slapped the paper with a letter. its layed out that way because the a fast typer would jam two keys and get stuck. (the layout was to slow ya down).

On the otherhand they had another layout called i THINK! something like dvorak or dvork keypad for fast typist. thats close enough. don't waste your time. ive never ever seen it in a business. The standard works fine.
gets the job done. though the history is interesting. Im 62 now, the keyboard does exist but who uses it i don't know. Its Dvorak
