Your real keyboard keyboard and that displayed on the screen both are different layout, they both differs. You can observe it at the place where backspace is located. I'm amazed of what a hardworking person you are and how self-motivated you are. This is something I am really lacking, but I try everyday. Cheers.
0:57 The origins are actually somewhat clear-ish. The QWERTY keyboard was developed because people found it to be easier than the alphabetical layout so it was created because it was found to be more efficient than that keyboard there. The most uncommon keys were thrown into corners while the home row, besides for "S", is completely alphabetical. It developed overtime with revisions made to increase its efficiency. That does not mean it's "the best" keyboard, but the QWERTY keyboard was not created over some archaic problem like people like to believe.
For anyone who gets one of these or similar, it will take a while to get used to it but then it’s amazing. Your brain will eventually click into it. It’s very helpful to have your layout on a screen or printed out until you feel comfortable
about once a yearish, ill look to see if you made a new video, and im so glad i checked today, you dont jsut make a video from time to time, you make art that inspires, that motivates, that touches hearts, thats beautiful. i love your content, and i hope you never stop making your art and never stop putting your soul into it.
how have you been? its been a long while since ive heard from you on any platform! no pressure to upload or anything, i just wanna make sure youre happy and healthy!
The letters on the keyboard were placed like that on the typewriter. So that the type bars could move more freely without blocking another type bar when more than one is being pressed at the same time. It has nothing to do with looks or preference.
6:14 - This strikes me as relevant to the comment I just left on "How I went from 10 to 130 WPM in 3 months"... random environmental queues switch up which "muscle memory" mode one's brain is in, is my hypothesis. :)
Interesting that you had as much trouble as you did switching back to QWERTY. My guess is that it's just because you hadn't kept practicing with it during the critical time of learning the new one, and so your brain ("muscle memory') let those connections fade. When I first learned Dvorak, many years ago, I made a specific point to maintain my QWERTY skills on a regular basis, in part because I was a Systems Administrator by trade at the time, and needed to be able to sit in front of random computers where I didn't have the option to change the layout (especially because that was much harder to do back then; did I mention it was many years ago?). My experience of it was that I basically did the switch on exactly one computer that I used, and on other computers, I'd stick with QWERTY. My brain seemed to tie the modality to some degree to where I was, then... typing QWERTY on the Dvorak computer was harder than it was when I went to a different computer. Now, I type _almost_ exclusively in Dvorak, but I can still switch when I want to, and it's usually not _too_ painful for long. Indeed, I just tried, and tried typing some stuff in the terminal and it was a real struggle, because my brain hadn't quite re-latched, so I went to typeracer, and... somehow, just that context switch seemed to be enough to make it easier (or maybe my brain had just had enough cues/time to switch by then?), and I got 49wpm on my first try. Not great, but not completely horrible. I switched back to Dvorak, hit the try again, and felt like I was struggling a bit with Dvorak, but still got upwards of 70 (I forget, 73, I think?) wpm. After now typing the bulk of this comment, I went and tried another, and got 85wpm... I suspect at peak performance without actively practicing racing, I'd probably get about 90-95? I'm sure I could up it from there if I actively practiced racing, though. Anyway, just wanting to give that as a threshold of comparison for my QWERTY speed (which I just tried again with the same passage as the 85, and got 32. Lol. But I think if I was on a different physical keyboard in a different physical place that mapped in my brain to QWERTY, it would click more fully and I'd get to like 60 or something... and probably not much better than that unless I really practiced QWERTY for a while. Anyway, here's hoping something in this wall of text is vaguely interesting/informative/insightful/something. If not, well, I had fun practicing switching again, after not having done so much in a long time. :)

This was the most emotional I’ve felt from a keyboard review. As soon as u joined his game I knew it was about to get intense. 100000/10 best video on the internet
