Beyond QWERTY: The High Cost of Keyboard Efficiency

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of alternative keyboard layouts, sparked by a listener's question about leaving the QWERTY standard behind. We explore the mechanical history of our current layout and why its inefficiencies persist in the digital age, from the radical efficiency of Dvorak to the pragmatic design of Colemak. We also discuss the daunting "valley of despair" that comes with relearning how to type and the concept of "proprioceptive anchoring"—how using specific hardware like split keyboards can help your brain maintain multiple layouts simultaneously. Whether you’re a high-speed typist looking to save your wrists or a tech enthusiast curious about optimization, this episode offers a deep dive into the physical and mental costs of upgrading your primary interface with the digital world.
